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.
I am not saying I want Buhari
to rule again, but I do agree
with the point of reducing cost
of governance and creating
jobs. I cant imagine it costs
more to rule about 120 million in Nigeria than ruling over 300 million people in the U.S.A
