THERE seems to be a very dark cloud hovering around the 2015 general elections which may bring catastrophe to Nigeria similar to the 1967/70 civil war that claimed the lives of well over two million civilians excluding soldiers. This fear was expressed by a former Captain in the Biafran Army, Captain Leo Amadi who in an exclusive telephone interview with Sunday Independent in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, said that Nigeria risk another period of carnage if things were not done the right way.
Amadi said that President Goodluck Jonathan was “too weak” to lead Nigeria out of the present politico-economic logjam it finds itself, adding that what the country needed was a leader with a strong political will to deal with the elements of disintegration and economic uncertainties that are threatening the corporate existence of the country.
He explained that though Jonathan has done his best in putting Nigeria on the path of greatness, but Buhari should be the best choice for the country at this period of its near collapse, insisting that a desperate situation requires a desperate solution. “Jonathan is a good man. He means well for Nigeria. But Buhari is a better leader. He is not corrupt. He has the political will that is needed to tackle all the problems confronting us at this point as a nation. Buhari is the man that is capable of handling the nation at this critical moment of our lives as a country.
“I have never seen Buhari in my life. He was in the Nigerian Army while I fought for Biafra. He is a Muslim and I am a Christian. But the things he did when he was a Military ruler were amazing. For the first time as a nation we were a disciplined people and corruption was at its barest minimum. The economy was at its best and not what obtains today.
“What we need as a country is a corruption-free society. Nigeria is a very rich country. But corruption is tearing us apart and this could be attributed to bad leadership. That is why we should push for a leader who has a strong character and a strong will to rule us.
“There are strong leaders in Nigeria presently. But they are too corrupt to lead the people. This is where the likes of Buhari fit in.
“I see a bloody revolution beckoning on Nigeria if Jonathan wins the 2015 election again. The country may go into another civil war if the result of the election goes the other way. That is why Buhari should be given a second chance to rule Nigeria and rid it of corruption”, Amadi said.
Captain Leo Amadi who was in charge of a Company in the 30-month old war between the secessionist Biafra and the Nigerian Army said the only available solution to the present problems confronting the country was “a bloody revolution”. This could be likened to what obtained in Ghana under Flt Lt. Jerry Rawlings.
“Today Ghana is peaceful and many Nigerians are running there to either do business or spend their holidays. We may experience that kind of treatment here in Nigeria if we really want to be free as a people”.
