The presidential candidate of the CPC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a man who many believe is one of the few no-nonsense Nigerians alive, has rejected the olive branch extended to him by President Goodluck Jonathan, saying he can't be part of a corrupt government.
The retired General further disclosed that he would...
continue to make positive contributions to the Nation and that he had already made suggestions on what the present administration should do to move the country forward in these trying times.
Speaking through his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, Gen. Buhari said he and his party "are not looking to benefit from the system. Rather, we are looking to make contributions to the system. But we cannot be part of the corruption under this government. We have told Jonathan what he needs to do. He should cut the cost of governance and create jobs."
When reminded that one may not be able to make useful contributions from the outside, Mr. Odumakin insisted that there is so much corruption going on in government, adding that "General Buhari is not cut out for the ‘chop chop’ going on in the government today. He is a different man and not a jobber.”
I guess 2015 will give him another opportunity to test his popularity.
Let him go and restrategise for 2015. Maybe Naija go do wise up and vote wisely by then.
ReplyDeleteGiving the challenges in the country i doubt if he will do any better. Nigeria is more complex than a lot of us think. I trial will convince you.

Buhari has always being the man of the people and am hoping he will contest again in 2015 so that Nigerians can support him totally.
