I can’t carry guns to lead a revolution neither can I afford to continue to watch my dear country go down the drain due to massive looting, corruprtion or” mere stealing” as our dear president called it but in my little capacity I am constitutionally empowered to campaign, vote and be voted for so I am not infringing on any one’s right by declaring for Buhari. I voted for GEJ in 2011 based on sentiments though I now regret doing that. I am now 4 years older so I won’t repeat thesame mistake.
IS BUHARI TRULY CREDIBLE?
I was born in the mid 80s so I was not yet born when Buhari ruled this country as a Military president. Thank God for history because through it we have learnt about our past leaders in this country. History has shown that GMB had zero tolerance for corruption which is evident in the way he has lived his life since leaving office. He is the only past surviving ex- president of this country that has not been linked to any financial scandal which is very rare considering the amount of wealth at their disposal. He is also the only one that has not supported the 16 years nose-diving of our country since independence by sacrificially contesting againt the govt at the centre at the expense of the juicy contract his cohorts are getting.
IS GEJ NOT TRYING?
For those who are of this school of thought, I will like to ask you, will you give your house to a contractor who inflates the price exhorbitantly without an assurance of quality? This is the perfect scenario of what GEJ is doing with public funds. Wasting so much to get little. Is that the way to go? GEJ has successfully raised economic rats(looters) that are now immune to rat poison(EFCC and the Judiciary) at the expense of the growth and development of our dear nation Nigeria. Is this the type of leaders we need to move our nation from a developing country to a developed one? The sure answer is no. I don’t want to grow up to tell my children stories of why their country is still developing after over 50 years of independence.
Let’s have a rethink before we fall for another window dressed, sentimental and incompetent president in 2015.
