I HEREBY announce my support of General Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s next President. He is credible, and capable of changing Nigeria for the better. Is GMB an angel? No. Indeed, I have criticized him in the past. I have expressed my disappointment that PDP and their background act as if they are all that Nigerians has got by looting our Money! Which is not good for our country.
Come2015 elections, however, he will be the best that Nigeria has got. Everyone will see that 2015 election will be the most free and faire in Nigeria’s history.
It will show whether we have learned anything from our own history or not, and therefore whether we are determined to move forward or not. Of the lessons we have learned from the ruling party, the elections will show, most of all, whether we have learned what I call the David Hill lesson. As editor of the London Weekend, Mr. Hill wrote a column in which he considered the question as to why people would do the same thing over and over again but expect different results.
He wondered why a man who struck his own thumb with a hammer twice would expect not to experience the same excruciating pain the second time. That is the same question Nigerians must answer in less than three years from now. My answer is: Yes, if you clobber your thumb with that hammer, you are going to feel the same screaming and searing pain all over again. Actually, the pain will feel worse the second time because—unless you are of considerably languid intelligence— your brain would have informed you ahead of time about just how much of a fool you are and how bad the agony is going to be.
Demographically. General Muhammedu Buhari can stretch out one of his long hands and arrest the drift. At this time in our history, his candidature is the wisest, the most promising, and the most logical. He has honour, discipline and strength of character: attributes every great leader must have.
Furthermore, GMB knows what is wrong with Nigerians, and knows what to do about it, an insight he demonstrated in his Military tenure, and he led a memorable assault on indiscipline and excess in public life.
Nigerians needs in office a leader whose word will command respect; a leader who will not speak out of both sides of his mouth; a leader who will deploy power in the national interest and not in the massaging of his own bloated ego and the greed of his friends. Nigerians needs a leader who is capable of holding himself and those around him to high standards of accountability and performance, not one who simply preaches about them in public.
Nigerians need a man who has demonstrated he can stand up to masses needs of the rich and influential, not one whose friends, colleagues and mistresses are exempted from the law. Nigerians needs a man who will be consistent from day to day, not one for whom right and wrong depends on the company or the time of day. Nigerians needs a man who can tell opportunity from opportunism; a man who can resist the greed, insensitivity and ethical nothingness that now defines the country.
There are many people asking to be Nigeria’s President in 2015, but only GMB truly meets these basic considerations. Only he answers the question: Who is Nigeria’s best hope for halting and reversing the deterioration and decay? Only he can change the questions and seek new answers. He can bring in new men and women of character, and throw open a genuine new beginning anchored on public service.
He can slam the doors on indolence and compromise, and unlock the cellars where the bad politician hopes the bodies will never be discovered. I wholeheartedly endorsed his candidature as Nigeria’s next President because he has the capacity to bring a sense of responsibility and mission to governance. If he does, implementing budgets and policies will become standard, and good men and women will have a place in our nation head of the mob of monsters. All of this is possible because GMB has character. He has also chosen another man of integrity. Through action, not loud rhetoric, they can correct the principal weaknesses that have made Nigerians underachieving and under-developing State.
I have never met GMB or spoken to him. But I have observed him closely for the better part of three decades, and I know that what he offers is superior to the weaknesses those who fear his ascendancy are eager to cite.
