In 2003 & 2011, I did not vote for Buhari, because I didn't believe in the two Running mates he chose, Ume Ezeoke and Tunde Bakare.

In 2015, I voted for him because he was the only credible alternative and I know he will complement all his age related weaknesses with PYO

Even though I didn't expect any magic, I only wanted a leadership that will change our focus from anything goes country.

Buhari has made me believe in govt again, yes he's not perfect, but he's imperfections are far better than the best any PDP govt has got to offer or offered

There's no govt anywhere in the world that will completely eradicate corruption, not even in the Vatican City

However, there are instances that makes you see hope of a brighter future, one is infrastructure, another is agriculture, then structures in governance.

The enforcement or full implementation of structures like IPPS, TSA, and most of Executive Orders he signed to tackle corruption headlong

I wish we have ever had govts this determined against all odds to turn around the fortunes of this Nation Like Buhari is doing,

Ironically there was a Yaradua who unfortunately didn't stay long enough to change the structures.

He however showed some glimpses of intention and determination. One of such was the reform in the judiciary and the power probe.

He didn't live long enough to establish any.

Yaradua unfortunately did not enjoy good health, and the cabal in the Aso Vila did player a great role in the relapse of his ailment, which unfortunately, he finally succumb on May 5, 2010.

He was however succeeded by a man who was not prepared for the big stage at that time

The biggest weakness in our law was tested in 2010 which gave room for the doctrine of necessity. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was swore in, but in acting capacity to conclude Yaradua tenure.

One would expect that one year was enough to prep him for the task of National Assignment.

Jonathan fumbled and wobbled for another 4 years during which he superintended over the greatest heist ever to be witnessed by any nation after the slave trade era.

The people who surrounded him used his weakness to rape and Robb the Nation blind, it was a looting competition.

The Nation bled through the last 4 years of Jonathan, even those who do not know us as a Nation wept on our behalf, UK former prime minister while describing it, said, if the amount of money stollen in Nigeria was in UK, there would never be anything like UK again

We escaped it

Then came Buhari who not knowing the magnitude of the looting, promised hit the ground running, upon resumption of office in May 29, 2015.

When Baba asked for the record of the treasury, he almost had hypertension, who knows, may be that was what complicated his health condition

The reality beckoned on Sai Baba and for 2 years, he was bedridden, thank God for a thoroughbred Vice who took charge perfectly well.

As soon as Baba was certified fit for the job, the fifth columnists declared war, a war which ultimately claimed all of them.

Baba ailment not withstanding, there was a critical battle, RECESSION, it came faster than expected, thanks to the determination of the team Adeosun and Team Emefile, we exited Recession as fast as we entered it.

The disruption of production in the Niger Delta played a key role

As at 2014 first quarter, we were already heading towards Venezuela despite huge earnings from oil sales, we started borrowing, borrowing not to build infrastructure but to pay salaries.

We depleted our Reserves from $60bn plus to less than $30bn.

At that point, any further depletion below $25bn will trigger Greece treatment.

I don't know if we remember, Sanusi once said then that, if we continued the way we were depleting our Reserves, dollar will rise to N1000.

The Country was practically in the ICU

28 states and FG could no longer meet their primary obligation, Salary, no contractor was left on every sites of FG projects, they had all laid off 80% of their work force

FDI had crashed, do you know why?

They knew our only source of forex (oil) has crumbled.

The first assigment of Buhari in June 2015, days after swearing in, was Bail Out!

Buhari had to bail out states from the Royalty from LNG, from then till date, the rest has been tales by moonlight.

We started the rebuilding process and our Reserves started growing.

FDIs started coming back when govt monetary policies started yielding result

Our Economy since 2008 have never witnessed the kind of crisis we were between 2013 - 2016

Our Economy crashed completely in 2014, our taste for luxurious items consistently was growing, notwithstanding our depleting Reserves, hence our demand for forex was almost doubling our forex inflow.

Ideally, a good C-in-C would take the painful but bold necessary step and place luxury items on import ban to checkmate the continuous depletion of the Reserves, all Jonathan focused on then was reelection.

We are so very lucky, some of us may have been scavenging in Trinidad and Tobago by now

I don't know how to place it, but I am very optimistic that the Economic policy of this govt will send us back on top in another 5 years if it continues the way its going.

Buhari Politics may be poor, which I don't care about, but his diversification policy is second to none, his home grown economic policies are tailor made

We are very lucky, extremely lucky to escape PDP attempt to return in 2019.

2023 will be determined by whatever happened from now up till 2023.

I hope I made a little sense.

PDP was, is and will remain cancerous to out Nation, we cannot afford to have them back in any guise or form.

Thanks
