GEJ.....The Uncommon Transformer" BY:: OBI CHINOMSO P.

 We Nigerians lack reading culture and have
developed an attitude of swallowing things line, hook and sinker. I asked myself several questions before identifying with GEJ's candidature. I took a stroll down the memory lane from 1983/85, I studied some high profile cases including Alex Ekwueme,Tai solarin, Sam Mbakwe. I studied Buhari's economic strategies which later exacerbated our nation, I studied his intolerance to other religions, freedom of the press. I studied his decisions that bother on student unionism, corruption etc. I studied his uprightness. Recently I have studied his speeches, a sharp
reflection of his state of mind, have also studied the intents of his new found lovers in the likes of Atiku, Tinubu, Amaechi etc. Our problem is the doubt over the government we set over ourselves while thinking we are being critical of government. Our problem in Boko haram is not about the competence of Jonathan but our disunity of purpose.
Johnson wrote, while GEJ was comfortably
on top of the situation in 2012/13, Mr Buhari and other Northern elders were accusing him of partiality against the North and recommended that GEJ should stop military offensive against the terrorists in favour of amnesty. Admiral Nyako termed it Ethnic cleansing. Jonathan acceded to the demands of this section of the country for unity but in the process the terrorists found time to
regroup and become more formidable. Now, the same people who asked GEJ to soft pedal
has now turned the atrocities of the terrorists to a campaign point, this is unfortunate. Its is treachery when a father asks a son to jump from a roof top that he will catch him and when he jumps, he not only fails to catch but set spikes for him. The fact that Buhari called for a lesser offensive against Boko haram and recommended amnesty as was done for the militants, should dis entitle him claiming the government is not effective in the fight, citing non use of lethal force. In some societies, he will be ashamed for blowing hot and cold at same time on same issue. He would've stock to his advice or apologise for wrong advice. He told us he borrowed #27.5 million for a nomination form but he did not tell us how he plans to pay back. It will interest you to know that he collects #2.3 million on monthly basis as his retirement benefits, yet no foundation for the poor, empowerment of any kind, no scholarship whatsoever has been
recorded. He told us he has #1million in his account, Alas, his daughter pays €30000
yearly in a foreign university, equivalent of #8million. He claimed to have fought corruption
but under his nose Abacha emptied our
treasury. He accused El-rufai , Atiku, Bisi Akande
Tinubu etc of corrupt practices. The good news is, they are now change agents and their sins washed away. Let's think.. A thief and a beneficiary of a stolen product are culpable of
same crime. Suffice it to say Buhari is corrupt.
What economic decision has he made? Stopping Jakande Lagos mono rail at the detriment of $72million tax payers money? Dismissing 30000 soldiers to cut cost, stopping of Ajaokuta steel?. Now he has promised 5000 to unemployed at least to
encourage lack of creativity and idleness, he has promised to feed school children, help Ebonyi state produce more yams and stabilize
price of oil in the foreign market. If any voter can employ the like of Buhari to head his organization especially on foreign engagements with experts, then the person mean no good for Nigeria. On GEJ, I have
noticed a style, steady and noiseless TRANSFORMATIONS . I can remember what
Shagari said "We can't get it at once but we
are getting it" Have you asked how many people Sure-P,  YouWin have employed? Have you noticed the decline in the importation of
Agric produce? Have you seen the airports, railways and road networks? You believe
your votes can count, any kudos for that?
Have you studied the automobile policy that
has allowed Innoson, kia, Nissan etc build
and assemble cars in Nigeria aimed at employing citizens? Have you accessed the
BOI, Agric and SME loans? Have you noticed
the number of ghost workers detected
through IPPS thereby saving #46 billion? What of fertilizer fraud, have you heard anything from that quarter? Use of technology. Have you say thanks for the 12 universities built, over 130 Almajiri schools, over 60 healthcare facilities, improvement in power generation, gender equality etc? What has APC done in their various states? Which APC state is enjoying free education?. Buhari complained of the 16 woeful years under PDP. Was he referring to Atiku, Amaechi, Gemade,
Tambuwal, Sylvia, Kwankwaso, Saraki, Ogbe etc?
My fellow Nigerians open your eyes to the
reality of life. GEJ might not be ur dream president for Nigeria but as it stands now GEJ is the BEST CANDIDATE come 14th February. Let's vote continuation of change not d change we can not define at the moment.
