The presidential candidate of the CPC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a man who many believe is one of the few no-nonsense Nigerians alive, has rejected the olive branch extended to him by President Goodluck Jonathan, saying he can't be part of a corrupt government.
The retired General further disclosed that he would... continue to make positive contributions to the Nation and that he had already made suggestions on what the present administration should do to move the country forward in these trying times.
Speaking through his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, Gen. Buhari said he and his party "are not looking to benefit from the system. Rather, we are looking to make contributions to the system. But we cannot be part of the corruption under this government. We have told Jonathan what he needs to do. He should cut the cost of governance and create jobs."
When reminded that one may not be able to make useful contributions from the outside, Mr. Odumakin insisted that there is so much corruption going on in government, adding that "General Buhari is not cut out for the ‘chop chop’ going on in the government today. He is a different man and not a jobber.”
I guess 2015 will give him another opportunity to test his popularity.
I am not saying I want Buhari to rule again, but I do agree with the point of reducing cost of governance and creating jobs. I cant imagine it costs more to rule about 120 million people in Nigeria than ruling over 300million people in USA.

One thing I still don't understand is why Muslims call their religion PEACE. Look around the world, Islam is in the middle of all the global violence today. If Muslims are not killing Hidus in India, they are fighting Buddhists in China. If they're not attempting to bomb a church in Nigeria, they are attempting to attack the Jews in the middle east. When they run out of people to kill, Sunnis turn on Shi'ites... Seems violence is the holy communion in Islam. Islam is a tragedy 'cos mohammad is a demon possessed killer,a rapist,a sexmanic with 11 wives & uncountable concubines,A PEDOPHILE who at d age of 54 disvergined a little 9 yrs old girl called AISHA.Moslims should read KORAN,HADITH & SIRA to see d biography of a devil messenger d call a prophet of a holy GOD.JESUS said false prophet shall arise & decieve many,mohammad is dat false prophet.D only solution is 2 divide dis nation & allow moslims 2 practice dia religion of sucide bombing 'cos islam cannot live with anyother ideology.dis is what seperated INDIA & PAKISTAN,pakistan moslims kill india hindus daily till d seperate,now see how india developed & pakistans r still @ war with each other.islam is enemy of civilization,look @ sumalia,afganistan,iraq,yemen etc.d only technologicaly advanced moslim nation is iran & d only thing d produce is weapon of mass destruction.what PA OJUKWU saw in 1967 PA GOWON is seing it now

come to think of it....... is goodlucj jonathan better than any other past presidents we have ?? capital NO! he and his wife have turned the nigerian state into private biznesses . this man buhari still remains the most idealistic contender as president. when he ruled alongside idiagbon, there was discipilne in the land which all of us can see. the fact that he refuses to partake in goodlucks administration of deceit is enough fact.
