Why Do Northerners Love Buhari? What Has He Done For Them? by Sweetguy25: 4:51pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
General Buhari has been a runner up for the last three presidential elections in Nigeria. On these three occasions, majority of his votes have come from the Northern part of the country, where he comes from. It will not be different this year as Buhari is expected to mop majority of the votes in the north. The allegiance of the northern people to Buhari is carved in stone. I find it difficult to understand why he is revered so much by his people up north – why does he get so much respect, love, loyalty and allegiance from the northerners? Has Buhari ever helped to bring development to the north, which is highly underdeveloped? Has Buhari ever helped to improve education and learning for his northern people, who are the most backward in terms of western education in Nigeria? Has Buhari ever helped to bring majority of northerners out of poverty? Even as Boko Haram was ravaging his dear northern peoples, did he ever take bold steps to encourage peace and stop the bloodshed? What has he done to deserve the massive loyalty he enjoys from his fellow northern people? If there are any northerners in Nairaland and you’re reading this, please tell me what Buhari has done for the north? 12 Likes |

As someone who did his NYSC in the North, I can tell you that an average northerner is one that keeps his word and hates thieves. Forget about their corrupt elites and politicians, I found more simple and honest people in the north than any other part of Nigeria. Buhari by his lifestyle and past actions is a man they can identify with and trust. One of my uncles lives in Kaduna and he told me that the common saying in the North is, 'all I need from Buhari is his word and I can go to bank with it'. Since the days of Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa, there has not been any other politician the Northerners trust to keep his words and look after their welfare like Buhari, that is why even those that will vote for PDP governors will vote for Buhari presidency. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

They see him as and call him 'mai gaskiya' meaning 'The honest one'.. In a country where deceit and fraud is rampant, Buhari is a rare breed. They trust him with their lives. Only the late Sadauna can rival this level of trust. Sai baba! 8 Likes |

I don't understand the Northerners. But the issue here is that a lot of Northern Moslems will vote for him. After all he was the one who defended his Fulani brothers for killing some Yoruba farmers (why are your people killing my people?" 2 Likes |

It is tribal affilation and nothing more, that is why the only time he lost in the north was when he contested against a fellow northerner - Yar'adua. The north will always vote for a northern candidate and we know it, even though some people pretend about it. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bid4rich: Why did I expect that answer? What kind of help may I ask? I think his role has head of PTF says a lot about his dedication to office and people generally. I often see where he is ascribed (and wrongly so), to have favoured the north whilst PTF Chairman, with the percentage of projects there compared to other parts of the country. Which ever way it is spinned, it means he helped his people. He is not a billionaire, but a leader. That is his calling. Everyone has his/her role to play in society. If you want to investigate into his philanthropy which I don't think is the matter, that would be another exercise. 1 Like |

Sweetguy25: Your definition of 'no integrity' clearly description Jonathan. Cos Jonathan is in the strongest to help pple suffering in the north but showed lackadaisical attitudes. Buhari doesn't have any power to fight boko. He fought and won insurgence during his tenure, when he was powerful enough to help them. He went to the battle field and fought and won, thaz Mr Integrity according to your definition sir 2 Likes |

Ikwokrikwo:buhari remains the greatest living northern politician, even yaradua owned so much respect 4 him, he called him uncle. Buhari is a rare breed, forget sentiments, people dont value what they have untill its lost. When libya lost their so called hated tyrant gadafi, it till date has exposed them to us and their problems. |

olatunji21: As they say in my side ''one rich man among 10 poor people is poor himself'' one man of integrity among dozens of corrupt people is himself corruption. It then means he himself is corrupt as well as they say GEJ is corrupt. The question is, can you now drive out corruption with corruption? 1 Like |
