Got this and agree with the write up: I write this because of millions of Nigerians who are below 30and who constitute a significant chunk of our votingpopulation.This is the ICT generation that is largely ignorant about theevents of the Buhari era (1983-85) and so can bemisinformed and misled by needless propaganda. I have satwith many in the under-30 bracket and those slightly abovewho only have faint recollections of the Buhari era and thelevel of ignorance about that era is amazing.Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had beenGovernor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’sMilitary government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. Helater served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Pleaseconsider the following unassailable facts:- He birthed and supervised the establishment of ourexisting refineries.- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. Itstarted under his successor IBB!- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economicteam (not achieved under any other era, even military).- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, andkilled all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced thecorrupt leaders here to prison.- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in roadconstruction in that short period hasnt been matched by 12years of the PDP.- Hospitals and universities around the country neverwitnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF fromany government after or before his time.- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first asMinister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund,Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or anoil block like so many of our leaders.- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBBor Danjuma or even OBJ but didnt.- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he hascast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him outof hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank.- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallieswithout renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March iseloquent proof.- He refused to collect an allowance while serving asChairman of the PTF because he said since he was alreadydrawing a pension from government, his conscience would notallow him to draw another salary from the purse of the samegovernment.- He is the only former head of state that does not ownproperty or land in Abuja.- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time pastended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ totake over the running of PTF before it was scrapped withthe aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one whoended up being prosecutedfor misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, wasvindicated- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him ofreligious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No onehas till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver ofmany years is a Christian from Plateau State.- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline thathas made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinatingby the roadside etc features of our national life even tilltoday Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would bespreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable ofdoing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes intooffice! So shine your eyes and make the right decision. Ifhonesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria ,nowis the time to choose right. When you cast your vote for theBUHARI, you would have cast one vote for a honest men.Now that you know better, will you please educate anotherperson BY FORWARDING THIS TO AS MANY AS YOU CAN?THIS IS MORE THAN A CAMPAIGN.ITS JUST THE TRUTH!
