I Will Never Forgive Obasanjo - Buhari In An Interview With THE SUN by Sirniyeh(m): 1:51pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
General Muhammadu Buhari has been known to be taciturn, always keeping his feeling to himself except on few occasions when his bottled-up emotions took over him and resulted in tears. But in an exclusive interview with the Sun Newspapers, the General spoke about his relationship with other notable generals like Ibrahim Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo. He also spoke about the 1966 Coup, her daughter who recently died, and his plans for the general elections in 2015. Please read excerpts from the interview below: When people talk of Buhari today, they are looking at a disciplined man. Was it the boarding house that put you through that or the military? Was the boarding house part of where you got your Spartan, disciplined life? Both did. As I told you, the teachers then treated their students as if they were their own children. So, we got the best of attention from teachers. And as I told you, they never spared the cane. You were meant to do your homework; you were meant to do the sports and clean up the environment, the compound and the area of the school and so on. And from that type of life, I moved into the military, the military of that time. But during the Obasanjo administration, you had become a minister, as it were. No. I first became a governor when Murtala came, in North-East. This same North East that is giving problem now. Yes. I was there and there were six states then: Yobe, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa and Taraba. During your time as petroleum minister, what were you doing differently that they are not doing now that has made the sector totally rotten? Well, I was lucky again. When I was made a minister, I met an experienced man, a person of great personal integrity, the late Sunday Awoniyi. He was the permanent secretary then before the Supreme Military Council approved the merger of the Nigerian National Oil Corporation (NNOC) and the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and made Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Sunday Awoniyi was then the permanent secretary of the ministry. That was when I was sworn in eventually, I think in 1977, it became NNPC when the ministry and the NNOC were merged. He retired from the civil service. Another competent technocrat, Morinho, he became the Director of Petroleum Resources and he had a very competent team of Nigerian engineers, petroleum engineers and chemical engineers. And as minister of petroleum, I signed the contract for Warri Refinery, for Kaduna Refinery, for more than 20 depots all over the country, for laying of pipelines, more than 3200 kilometers and I couldn’t recall Nigeria borrowing a kobo for those projects. And then, by the time I became head of state, because I went to War College in the United States before the military handed over to the Second Republic and came back in 1980 and then, there was coup at the end of 1983. And that time, you can verify from Professor Tam David-West who was Minister of Petroleum Resources. We were exporting 100,000 barrels per day of refined products. Well, some of us have heard that you used to smoke. Do you still smoke? What are those things you have given up? I used to smoke, but of course, I abandoned it I think in 1977. Oh really? Before you became head of state? Yes, I stopped smoking. Have you ever taken alcohol? No. Never? Never. Even as a young man and all that? No, no. Even in the military tradition, how they break you in, I said well, the military did not stop anybody practising his religion. My religion said no alcohol and no alcohol. So, that was respected. I was never forced to take alcohol and I have never voluntarily taken it because I want to remain alert all the time. There is a tendency that when you drink, you would want to have a bottle more, or a glass more and do something stupid. Ok, what of Obasanjo? What kind of relationship do you have? Obasanjo; he mobilized Nigerian voters against me. But you have forgiven him? No, I haven’t forgiven him (laughter). And I will never forgive him...because I dont support corruption and I will never support any image that will militate against the common Nigerian www.ynaija.com/ive-not-forgiven-obasanjo-and-i-will-not-forget-what-ibb-did-to-me-gen-buhari-opens-up-like-never-before/

Since he started working with Buhari, Obasanjo is no longer corrup, just as Abacha never stole. As a matter of fact, he is the only Saint from the PDP. 'If any thief be in APC, he is a new creature! Behold all things become new!' 10 Likes |

The bitter feud between two old men is of no import to me. What I care about is the President of my country saying he is against corruption yet the likes of Anenih, Bode George and Alamieyesiegha are given places to sit at his right hand, opine on his behalf and are consulted as 'elders'. That - to me and to anyone with a functional brain - is what we should concern ourselves with. 1 Like |

Damn, I must say, Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden is ugly enough to frighten livestock. In the above picture he looks as though he just learned that his secret bank account in Lichtenstein has been frozen, and the entire contents siezed for use in road repairs by the local government over there, after his estranged child-bride aged 16 spilled the beans on him and took off with the gardener to have his baby, leaving the Aytaollah with no option but to engage in forced ccoitus with chickens and ducks at night, when his village is asleep. That horrid mug brings to mind the facial features of a bush-pig that I shot near the swamp a while back, and then fed to my dogs, several of which were later hospitalized at a veterinary facility, for food poisoning treatment. 1 Like |

texazzpete: These two old men could ignite the polity, they're not just old men, they're former presidents. If you have a functional brain you would remain in the Phones section where people ridicule you daily except you actually enjoy being ridiculed. Politics section is not for you bro, stick with what you know. Later y'all. |

Hi General Boko Haram, where is that $2.8 billion you hid away between 1977 and 1978? Don't it get twisted, that Decree Number 4 you imposed on Nigerians after you overthrew a democratically elected Government in 1983, and gagged the Press from writing about the $2.8 billion, didn't in anyway achieve anything. Where is the money? 2 Likes |

jmaine:ok, u quoted me...aaaaannnnnndddd? Did I lie? Dude, whether u like to admit it or not Igbos destroyed GEJ's presidency by making him look like a regional leader that hated everyone else EXCEPT them. This led to increased paranoia in a country where the people are already suspicious of each other. And that's the plain truth whether u choose to accept it or not. |
