WE ARE NOT FOOLED

Let us look at the APC presidential candidate critically, although many have categorized him a saint others can still point to some of his shortcomings including his certificate scandal, his sympathy for Boko Haram, his Sharia implementation agenda, his dictatorial tendencies, his worn out ideas and his age etc.

However, the problem is compounded when we look at the company he keeps. His campaign Director Governor Chibuike Amaechi is yet to clear the air on the N20 billion paid into his private account by Peter Odili. Amaechi is one of the governors in this country who is richer than his state. He is pumping Rivers State Government money to fund the party and its presidential candidate. Buhari has refused to ask any questions. It is apparent however that he is dinning and wining with looters.

Similarly, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is waiting for a Buhari presidency so that he will turn Nigeria into his business empire; He did same in Lagos state.  Tinubu presently owns half of Lagos State, after his mother reigned as Iyaloja general, he installed his daughter as the next Iyaloja general, his wife is a serving Senator of the federal republic, his in-law a member of house of assembly, he converted Lagos State government building to personal property. What of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar? The list is endless. can this group of people bring about any real development to Nigeria?

The truth is that as a people Nigerians have made too much progress to turn back to the same people and policies that got us into the crisis in the first place. We have a choice before us, not between corrupt and non-corrupt people but between real progress and a mere slogan.

Let’s vote wisely!
