When I read the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, making fun of President Mohammadu Buhari’s modest farm in Daura, I thought PDP/Atiku would be sensible to use the few months ahead explaining why any sensible Nigerian would abandon the safety of President Buhari’s leadership to experiment with Atiku Abubakar as the modern day Christoper Columbus who will discover Nigeria’s El-Dorado.

Not that I’m blaming Atiku for daily rolling in the mud just to stain President Buhari after all, you can only take a pig out of the gutter but you can’t take the gutter out of a pig. I’m only interested in the absurdity of Atiku’s campaign theme which is wholly centered on the person of President Buhari while ignoring the importance of explaining to Nigerians how he intend to address the problems he kept preaching to Nigerians that President Buhari has failed to address.

It was quite petty reading his remarks about Buhari’s farm. I will contribute few words to explain why Atiku couldn’t comprehend the rate of growth of President Buhari’s farm.

President Buhari farming business is a legitimate business, the only business civil servant are allowed to engage in. The rate of growth of his farm/cattle is commensurate with the economic reality of Nigeria and in conformity with what’s obtainable in the North west. Buhari refused to used numerous opportunities that came his way to turn his farm into the big business Atiku had in mind when he attempt to assess the success of Buhari the farmer.

If President Buhari was a corrupt, unscrupulous, conscienceless and unpatriotic Nigerian, Atiku’s farm in Adamawa which he claimed is the biggest, would be a little portion in Buhari’s farm after he financed its growth with proceeds from his offices as Minister of Petroleum, Governor of N’East, Head of State and Chairman of the most successful intervention Programme in this part of the world, the PTF.

Had Buhari wanted, his Daura farm would have been an international brand with tentacles covering all parts of the globe long before Atiku discover the magic lamp that transmogrify a civil servant into a billionaire businessman that could afford to buy the conscience of a once described biggest political party in Africa, the PDP.

But then, probably there wouldn’t be a Kaduna or Port Harcourt refinery for Nigerians to see and acknowledge his uprightness. There would only be a Buhari playing big league in agriculture, rubbing shoulders with the John Marlones, Brad Kelly and the Emmerson family at the expense of shortchanged Nigerians. That he’s being mocked by local giants for his modesty by Atiku only confirmed our disrespect for honor and integrity.

Buhari may not have a farm with a fancy name that resonate across Nigeria but he’s generously compensated with a name that not only resonate across the globe but cause jitters among so called “successful businessmen” of Atiku’s class and background. I’m sure President Buhari could easily give details of his investment without mixing gari and sand. I’m yet to get a coherent history of Atiku’s so called business acumen. In one story Atiku claimed he started his business with a housing loan with which he built a house on a land allocated him by his state.

In another story he claimed he obtained a loan, bought vehicles and started a transport business. He left many unanswered questions without which making sense of his claims is humanly impossible. We may have to wait until Atiku settled on one of the two stories before we forensically audit his businesses to determine the rate of growth that made him the billionaire international businessman he is.

Before then, let’s just say it’s highly probable that his business empire is an extension of the public offices he held and this stands until somebody provides detailed explanation of Atiku’s sources of funding his conglomerate.

It’s only in Nigeria that a thief will mock an upright man for not stealing and the youths whose future he stole would be clapping and urging him on..

Facts

Had Buhari wanted, his Daura farm would have been an international brand with tentacles covering all parts of the globe...

Why wouldn't Buhari want? He would only not 'want' because by his own words, he doesn't know how to make money or do business. He doesn't or didn't have to steal or divert public funds to grow his farm. There are loans and legitimate sources of fund to expand one's business. What about his children he sent to foreign universities where did he 'steal' that money from since y'all think every large business enterprise must have come from stolen wealth? Op you sef! Before u vomit this nonsense, you no query the mindset of person wey go prefer to 'borrow' money to buy presidential interest form than to borrow to make him business big? Anyway his investment paid off...He is President now, packing money with impunity and traveling with presidential jet to treat common ear ache and cold!

How can a former head of state not have any trademark worth mentioning in his name and to his credit? No foundation, no scholarships, no worthwhile investments...it is only a dumb, illiterate, perpetually unexposed dolt that will remain that way and now Nigeria is even more broken than ever because somehow such a person found his way to Aso rock as President. Never mind that he got there through the instrumentality of stolen public funds and proceeds of corruption o!

Charity, they say, begins at home. If Buhari cannot establish, manage and expand/grow a money spinner like an agricultural venture how on earth is he expected to successfully manage and grow a mammoth economy like Nigeria's? The result is what we see today..recession, debts and abysmally poor development indices everywhere.

wow

If President Buhari was a corrupt, unscrupulous, conscienceless and unpatriotic Nigerian, Atiku’s farm in Adamawa which he claimed is the biggest, would be a little portion in Buhari’s farm after he financed its growth with proceeds from his offices as Minister of Petroleum, Governor of N’East, Head of State and Chairman of the most successful intervention Programme in this part of the world, the PTF.




This is deep

Change is not theoretical but
practical; change is not a
campaign tool but an action tool.

Buhari told Nigerians that he can “turn water to wine" yet he has no pot to fetch water in the first
place.


Buhari did not only fail Nigerians,
he also failed APC, the
Northerners, the Yorubas, his
family, his supporters, and other world leaders that worked for his victory.

This administration has nothing to
show in 3 years because it was
built on a wrong foundation of
deception, lies, propaganda, lack
of planning, lack of goal setting, lack of priority.


Shall we then continue with this
government that has never for
once accepted responsibility for
what Nigerians are going
through? Shall we continue with
this government that keeps giving us unguarded excuses, lies, propaganda?


Buhari has failed Nigerians and failed himself!

No amount of propaganda can deceive Nigerians this time around!!!

You swept op's trash under the can. He started by saying that atiku shouldn't descend to the level of attacking buhari's personality but ended up giving himself out as a buhari zombie.
