consistency rose to become the president of the United
States after several attempts, Buhari waded through pains
and tears to get to where he is today.
The fear of candidate Buhari is now the beginning of
wisdom in Nigeria today. Buhari was no serious contender
in the eyes of ordinary Nigerians in the contest for the
Presidency in 2003, 2007, 2011 but in 2015 Buhari has
become a serious issue, a volcano, an avatar, a hurricane,
a force and a thunder to reckon with. The event that
changed everything was when General Buhari was
nominated as the presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, APC in a 48-hour non-stop event at
Teslim Balogun stadium in Surulere. Few days after a
cerebral scholar and Pastor in the finest tradition
Professor Yemi Osinbajo was picked as his running mate,
the momentum changed, permutations changed and
calculations changed. The very stone which the builder
rejected has become the head of the corner and all and
sundry have come far and near to admire the edifice.
But Buhari's rise to fame in Nigeria did not come so easy.
Like Abraham Lincoln who through power of consistent
consistency rose to become the president of the United
States after several attempts, Buhari waded through pains
and tears to get to where he is today. I have since learnt a
lot through Buhari's power of not losing his head when
others are losing theirs in a country where politics of the
stomach holds sway. Through Buhari's life I have learnt
that there is hope for a man who is not easily defeated
even when the person seems to have lost everything. I
have learnt that the world and everything that is in it
belongs to those who try to drill the deepest well.
This is the reason why the thieves, the corrupt, the
demons, jezebels and all the monsters in Nigeria will not
sleep until Buhari is out of the way for them to continue
the business as usual. Check the newspapers, the TV
stations, radio stations etc and you will at once notice that
the common project is to find everything that is bad under
the sun and hang it on the neck of the retired general. They
all have a thousand and one reasons to demonize and pull
down candidate Buhari so that the business will continue
as usual. They place adverts and documentaries that make
no meaning to anybody except those placing them. When
there are no lies to use against Buhari, they try to
manufacture as many as possible and dish it out to to the
political space. The more they do this the more it becomes
obvious that Nigeria needs a Buhari to rise again. The more
those who seek to destroy Buhari work, the more his
popularity grows a million times. The more they throw
mud at him the more cleaner the man becomes in the
eyes of the ordinary Nigerians who desire change at all
cost.
If you have listened to the audio and the transcript of how
Ayo Fayose, Obanikoro, Omisore, Olubolade, Chris Ubah,
Nigerian army, the police, DSS, the presidency etc
conspired to steal Ekiti state from APC, you will then realize
why Ayo Fayose wants Buhari dead by all means. If you
know how much crude oil is stolen in Nigeria on a daily
basis or how some importers of petroleum products have
shortchanged the country, you will then realize why they
are fighting tooth and nail to maintain the status quo. If
you know the privileges Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark,
Tompolo and others enjoy today under president
Jonathan you will at once understand why they are
threatening fire and brimstone should Jonathan lose this
election. If you are privileged to know the billions going to
the pastors and the so called Men of God, you may not go
too far to understand why they are falling over themselves
to accuse Buhari of planning to Islamize Nigeria if elected
president. If your eyes are wider enough to see the rot
some government officials especially at the federal level
have brought to the land, you will at once understand why
they want the soft and weak Jonathan to continue in office.
If you are clever enough to know the billions of dollars
Jonathan's administration has invested in the power sector
without anything to show for it in sixteen years ,you will
then realize why the fear of candidate Buhari is now the
beginning of wisdom in Nigeria. If you know the level of
corruption being condoned by this administration in
Abuja, you will further understand why they want
president Jonathan to continue forever.
But the thieves have stolen enough for the owners to take
notice. They have taken enough for themselves, for their
children, their grand children and great grand children
and yet they cannot say enough is enough. Candidate
Buhari is coming to put a stop to this endless corruption
and impunity. Buhari is coming to build the battered and
badly managed Nigerian Army which was once one of the
best standing Armies in Africa. Buhari is coming to unite
Nigerians, president Jonathan has divided along ethnic and
religious lines. Candidate Buhari is coming to restore sanity
in the land. He is coming to stop the oil thieves and the
political traders in the seat of power. The retired general is
coming to restore the dignity of Nigeria and Nigerians in
the comity of nations. He is coming to rebuild our decayed
infrastructure and democratic institutions. He is coming to
restore hope to the hopeless. He is coming to secure the
land.
Today, the money changers, the money doublers, the
wheel dealers, marabouts, sorcerers, foolish
constituencies, foolish gerontocrats, merciless and
unconscionable oil dealers ritualists,who thrives under
President Jonathan have become desperate, hysterical,
confused, dumbfounded, and in total disarray about the
coming of candidate Buhari. They are looking for time to
regroup but cannot find the time. They want their
Jonathan to be re-elected and yet they do not want an
election. They have placed confused Advertorials to fight
Buhari but they end up fighting themselves. They created a
thousand lies to cover a lie and yet the truth stands out like
the rock of Gibraltar.
There is a finger of God in this fourth coming of candidate
Buhari in 2015. Students of the Bible know that Cyrus in
Isaiah 45 did not know God and yet God blessed him and
used him. God is not man. God's ways are not man's ways.
He sees beyond all of us in the world put together. I want
Buhari to win this election so that these scavengers,
contractors, ritualists, kidnappers, armed robbers, and oil
dealers who call themselves Bishops, Pastors, Men of Gof
will return to the scriptures. You cannot serve God and
mammon. When the ordinary Nigerians call Buhari Mai
Gaskiya, do we understand the meaning? A good man can
be found in the church, in the mosque and in other
religions. One honest man is worth more to the society
than all ruffians that ever existed. Buhari is the next
President of Nigeria. Case rested!
