As the 2015 elections draws closer, so many revelations
have continue to emerge with the most recent having to do with the
Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General
Muhammadu Buhari.
Dr. Abe who claims to be a friend of General Buhari has shared this shocking testimony of how General Buhari sold his personality property to send his children to school.
Read below and please share your thoughts:-
“I am appalled by the direction our dear country is going. A
nation where honest men and women of integrity are vilified and
denigrated while thieves and people of dubious character are celebrated
and treated as heroes, is a nation that has lost its soul. It is now
virtually a crime to live above board because you are looked down upon
and called unprintable names, while murderers and robbers hold their
heads high and are treated with utmost respect by society. Something is
obviously wrong with this scenario and everything must be done to
restore normalcy otherwise our future generation will likely live in a
society that has lost all its moral values. I am not a politician, but I
am a friend of General Muhammadu Buhari and the things that have been
said about this exceptional Nigerian will make the stomach of anyone who
truly knows him sour. Nigerians cannot stand up to him when it comes to
character and integrity. It therefore appalls me when people whose only
credentials are that the Economic and Financial Crimes, Commission
(EFCC) has stopped chasing them around because they know how to double
speak now have the audacity and effrontery to question the character of a
man like General Buhari. I do not make a joke of it when I say General
Buhari is an exceptional Nigerian and an incident which I want to share
here with Nigerians gave me that conviction a long time ago and greatly
influenced my own life as a public servant. I lived in the United
Kingdom in the 90s and in the late 90s I was encouraged to return to
Nigeria by my friend General Buhari. It also coincides with when he was
Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). I used to spend most of my
time in Nigeria with him and his family and I noticed that his two grown
daughters who were undergraduates at the Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria, were always at home because of the unending strikes in Nigerian
universities at the time. I did not like the situation so on one of my
visits I got the prospectus and brochures of some educational
institutions in the United Kingdom and decided to encourage him to send
these kids to institutions in the UK, where they could school without
interruption. Because of how busy he was at the time, it sometimes took
days to find a moment alone with him, so I finally did find a moment
alone with him, and I brought up the issue of his kids always being at
home on strike and suggested his sending them to the U.K to school. I
quickly brought out the brochures and prospectus and I believed I made a
very strong case. He then asked me what the cost would be and thinking
the cost would not be an issue since I was speaking with the head of one
of the most powerful and richest institutions in the country at the
time (as well as a former Head of State of Nigeria), I boldly opened the
cost pages of the brochures and tried to work out the cost to him. What
he said at the time stunned me. General turned to me and asked me where
I expected him to get that kind of money and I could not believe the
question as I am sure many Nigerians will not believe. First, I could
not believe that as PTF chairman, he would find the school fees an
issue. Afterall, he was presiding over what was unarguably the richest
public institution in the country at the time and others in his shoes
would have found a way to “afford” it from their public offices. But not
General Buhari. What he did at the time made me see him as an
exceptional Nigerian and you are all free to confirm or verify this.
General Buhari sold the only property he owned in Victoria Island at the
time and it was with that fund that he sent his kids to school. I do
not know of many Nigerians who as PTF Chairman would have done what he
did and, from then on, General Muhammadu Buhari became my hero and the
epitome of integrity and honesty in public office to me. The General
Buhari I know will never come out to claim a qualification he does not
possess and for charlatans and people of questionable character to call
for his arrest for forgery is a great insult to honesty itself. I know
that Nigeria has become a country where anything goes, but insulting our
heroes because of politics should not be one of them. This is just one
instance, as there are several instances that I can cite here, but time
and space will not permit me. So, let’s put politics aside and celebrate
our heroes, because I do not know of any man of greater integrity than
General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB)”.
Meanwhile, recent reports have it that The presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari has been dragged to a Federal High Court in Abuja by a farmer.
