4 Minutes with Aljazeera.
Key TakeDUSGRACE d Highlight From President Buhari’s Aljazeera
Interview.
1. On why no convictions since his much vaunted fight on
corruption, Buhari queried the motives of his critics, and why
similar expectations were not made of previous administrations.
2. On the killing of peaceful IPOB protesters by Nigeria’s armed
forces. First he refused to watch the video when offered. He
then accused the movement of “interfering with movement of
troops and the economy”, and declared the movement as “Joking
with Nigeria’s security and Nigeria will not tolerate it”
3. On security votes, which had been source of corruption, which
we had been told were scrapped. He defended the need for the
security votes, and promised to punish anyone found
misappropriating the funds
4. On why he should continue to fund his children in foreign
schools while restricting foreign exchange for most families that
have children in schools abroad, he acknowledges its “tough
luck”.
"Suddenly, poor Buhari is now among the privileged Nigerians that can afford to pay overseas school fees"
5. On presenting the “worst budget” ever, he blames it on sabotage by technocrats, and also denies knowledge of details of
his budget when challenged on specifics,
such as amount budgeted for books for the VP, and the Aso Rock Clinic. He accused the interviewer of assuming better knowledge
of his budget.
6. On whether Nigeria will join the Saudi Arabia led Islamic
Coalition Force Against Terrorism, he said YES, which is in
contradiction to what we were previously told by his spokesman
just last month.
7. When asked if this decision was insensitive to the desire of
Christians that make up 50% of Nigeria’s population, he retorted
that Christians complaining
should “Go fight terrorism in Nigeria, or fight militants in the
South”. Those complaining Christians he referred to as religious bigots.
8. On his promise to defeat Boko Haram, he was declared a
“Failure”, to which he angrily declared “I haven’t failed, I haven’t
failed, I haven’t failed…”. His rationale was that Boko Haram now only has capabilities to attack and kill only civilians, but not police posts and military institutions.
In summary, President Buhari is a DISGRACE
And before some of you accuse me, you may watch the interview here: http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/talktojazeera
After watching the interview, you would agree with me that the level of inconsistencies, ignorance and insensitivity displayed by
our president, for lack of better word, is Pathological.
We need a President who shows an unabashed and unbiased interest in Nigeria and does not display ethnic parochialism and
sectional disinterest. Unfortunately, President Buhari is not that person.
