Not a fan of Buhari but the interviewer was rude. I still don't understand the fascination of Nigerian leaders with giving foreign media interviews at the expense of local media.
PS-When will Nigeria elect an eloquent and smart president like the Fasholas, Ribadus, Okonjos et al. Listen to Kenya's leader Uhuru Kenyatta speak and you'll certainly want to hear the point he is trying to make.

onatisi:
dullard is too simple to describe him ,I am still searching for the most appropriate word .nigerians should just brace up for a very tough 4 years

Foxflames:
not pleased with his response on sharia and stoning of women.. he did not deny saying he wanted full implementation of sharia in Nigeria but said he can't do that because of the constitution.

SeverusSnape:

... In other words, B00HARI is an advocate of sharia. Isn't it?

Ballmer:



Every Muslims on the face of the earth is An advocate of sharia not just Buhari. You can not be a Muslim n be against Sharia n hajj. It's one of the tenet of Islam renouncing sharia is renouncing Islam. This is like any Christian renouncing the law of Moses before the coming of Jesus. You do understand you have indirectly or directly renounced God.

Of course a cowardly offspring from the cowardly awolowo

I agree with you there.
The president seemed to be dodging questions, which must have gotten on the interviewer's nerves...sort of.

Regardless, that's basically what Upfront is all about;
Buhari should have been more than aware what he was signing up for when he agreed to be interviewed by Mehdi.

Apparently based on facts, Mehdi has a mindset that things are currently moving from bad to worse in Nigeria.
The president on the other hand was speaking on the contrary, as someone who is on ground.

He (Buhari) contradicted himself on the Amnesty International report. However, Mehdi gave him credit where due when he said that some staff of the army were sacked on his assumption of office.

The question he was asked on Sharia, and his response leaves much to be desired.
Now, I can confirm that Buhari really uttered those words.

Aside the mild altercation they had, I think it was a fair performance. I have to state though, in my opinion, that Buhari's capacity as leader in terms of Charisma and Mien is uninspiring, flatly uninspiring.

AMINDA:
In my opinion, there was nothing wrong in the President's replies. He was clearly assertive in his demeanor and only admonished the journalist to desist from interrupting him as they are wont to do. I will give the President a 75% rating.

atbu1983:
Op ur analysis is completely off point.
I just finish watching and listening to d interview.
president Buhari did very well.
i will score him 71%.

He answered all d questions smartly.

On Bokoharam, he said he believe with d raining season they will be able to downgrade bokoharam greatly. Though he cannot assure dat suicide bombing will stop, but he is sure bokoharam cant take territories by d end of december.

on chibok girls he said he will negotiate as long as d girls are well and alive.

On sharia law, he said he cannot change nigeria constitution to make sharia law a national law.

On d issue of his dictorship in d 80s, he said he will apologize for any proven wrong doing. That he is president today because many nigerians approve of his leadership in d 80s.

So op, what were u looking for that u didnt see?

judiciarypalava:
That is the effect of CERTIFICATE or NO CERTIFICATE, we will vote for him. Even if he presents PHCN bill. And now he keeps disgracing himself on the international scene, whenever the interview is conducted in English.
Buhari's problem is critical and serious because, "he does not know anything about democratic leadership and does not know that he does not know anything"

In as much as I agree with your second view, my take on your first opinion is different. You see, the local press can not drill the President like Mehdi did. They will want to tread softly to prevent later punishment the Executive give out. Mehdi was not rude, I've seen his other interviews and that's just the usual him. It is our President that is too timid.

I score the illiterate 15%. He was just circumventing most of the vital questions and saying rubbish.

His Fulani accent though
