Gen Buhari and His Comic Antics

Gen Muhamadu Buhari_ I will build three refineries in Port Harcourt, Wari and Kaduna as well as wipe out insurgency! If you know General Buhari very well you may wonder what he really meant by that dry and empty sound-bite. General Buhari was Nigeria head of state for nearly two years and as at then most of our refineries were operating at less than 50% capacity, the question is: What did General Buhari do then, was he even able to fix the ailing refineries!? The answer was no and is still no. So if he did not fix any of the refineries would you have expected him to build a new one? Of course you and I know that Gen. Buhari did not build even a single refinery during that period! He didn’t even start to build any. So one wonders whether he has not got more mature and realized that he should have built refineries when he was head of state. Now let’s have a look at where the general says he will build his refineries- Portharcourt, Warri and Kaduna! It appears that the General does not know anything about the six geo-polity the nation has. If crude oil pipeline can take clued to Kaduna it means it can take it to Gombe or Katsina. So ,why should the General still be thinking of repeating what we have long had that is not working well for the nation? Initial conclusion is that the General was just trying to see if he could play on the intelligence of the south south having been worried by perpetual guilty conscience that he was the head of state that gave the very least to the south south as regard their status as housing the oil that drives the nation. Perhaps he thought the people would forget and forgive so soon! Our General is also adding his voice to the insurgency ravaging the North East. You can imagine that! Our General says he would wipe that out of course you can add up what that meant and how he can do that quickly. This is General Buhari that clearly stated the attacks on Boko Haram were attacks on the North and his statements against President Jonathan when he lost in the election both contested when fully digested may tell you exactly what Boko Haram is all about ; Only for the General to have the gut now to use wiping off of Boko Haram as a campaign issue. Well it is only him that understands the game he is up to but I personally think that Nigerians are not all stupid and amnesiac as some of the few who have the opportunity of lording it over us thought.
