SENSATIONAL SCRIPT: What Buhari Promises To Do Within 100 Days In The Office

«§» 20 February 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), disclosed what he would do within first 100 days after assuming power on May 29, if elected.



Punch obtained the sensational document in Abuja on February 19, Thursday. It contains the key goals of the former military Head of State if voted into power. One of his plans is to openly declare assets and liabilities.

Buhari also vowed to encourage political appointees in his administration to do the same thing.

If Buhari fulfills his promise, he will become the second Nigerian President, after Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua, to have publicly declared his assets.

It should be noted that Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan has refused to make such a move since he assumed office. GEJ explained he had already done this while being deputy to Yar’Adua.

See the extracts from Buhari’s document titled “I pledge to Nigeria”

“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment.

“All political appointees will only earn the salaries and allowances determined by the RMFAC.”

Additionally, the ex military ruler, who on numerous occasions expressed his determination to eliminate corruption in Nigeria, said he would inaugurate the National Council on Procurement as stipulated in the Procurement Act. Buhari promised to work with the National Assembly towards the immediate enactment of a Whistle Blower Act.

“We will work with the National Assembly to strengthen the Independent Corruption Practices and other related Offences Commission and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission by guaranteeing institutional autonomy, including financial and prosecutorial independence and security of tenure of officials.

“We will also make the Financial Intelligence Unit of the EFCC autonomous and operational; encourage proactive disclosure of information by government institutions in the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act.”

Regarding Boko Haram insurgency ravaging the North-East of the country, Buhari said:

“I pledge, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead from the front and not behind in the comfort and security of Aso Rock, to boost the morale of fighting forces and the generality of all Nigerians.”

The APC candidate also promised to “act decisively on any actionable intelligence to #BringBackOurGirls”.

I am so disappointed at this Buhari who wants to change nigeria and minimise corruption and he forged his certificate Hmmm. GEJ is weak and buhari is an illiterate that will be used by so called godfathers. we all nigerians should be prepared for the worst because for the next 8 years we are going to be living like a country without president in our motherland. In other words "Stagnant situation".
