Buhari: The Making of a President
Author: Lawal, Jimi Adebisi
Publisher: Safari Books Ltd
ISBN: 9785478548
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
The first four months of the year 2015 will be remembered by many as some of the most apprehensive days ever in the history of Nigeria. The destiny of Nigeria was hanging in the balance. In the centre of this political theatre were two personalities with significantly different trajectories: one, the incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who had enjoyed an unprecedented, almost meteoric rise, to the apex of political power, and the other, then General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Buhari: The Making of a President is a story of intrigues, suspense, betrayals, reconciliations, collaborations and strategic concessions, one which only an insider could have told to such detail.

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Muhammadu Buhari was the seventh Head of Government of an independent Nigeria, serving then as a Military Head of State- and is also the current President of a democratic Nigeria, hence the fifteenth "number one citizen" of the Federal Republic. President Muhammadu Buhari was born, 17 December 1942, in a halcyon country side of Daura (to the family of Adamu and Zulaihat) in the present day Katsina State of Nigeria. But as fate would have it, this twenty-third child of Adamu lost his dear father at a rather tender age of four. Although Buhari lost his father at such an early age in life, the hand of destiny never left him to fall by the way side- to be consigned to the dustbin of oblivion. And so it was that under the sponsorship of a "foresighted" determined mother, the forthright Muhammadu Buhari obtained formal education at different times at his native home town of Daura- and also Mai'adua. It is on record that he attended Katsina Model School in 1953, and then Katsina Provincial Secondary School (now Government College Katsina) between 1956 and 1961. Any story told about Buhari will never be complete without mentioning the very fact that this man who prefers to live a low-profile or rather reserved life-style had a glorious Military career, spanning decades of dedicated service to father-land. This book is a compilation of some PATRIOTIC QUOTES CULLED FROM SPEECHES AND STATEMENTS of the currently serving PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA (MUHAMMADU BUHARI). The material is a well-arranged piece with the sole aim of teaching and instilling in our people that sense of patriotism or national-consciousness which seems fading away, or even lacking, but which is most needed at this time. Nothing gingers the human mind like inspirational words such as those contained in this presentation. It is our firm belief that something has to be done to re-awaken the spirit of our people towards being in tune with the change mantra of Mr. President.

We Must Kill Corruption Before Corruption Will Kill Us
Author: C. Anguslaz Anokwute
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781792958335
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Beside religious bigotry and ethnicity, the major thorn in the flesh of the Nigerian nation and a troubling index is the twin monster of bribery and corruption. Really, Nigeria's image, everyone knows, has been a very bad one, so battered into shame by both aliens and Nigerians themselves-- via this act of bribery and corruption. At the wake of the overthrow of the government of the first republic Nigeria in 1966, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu averred: "Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 percent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs at least, the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles, those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds". Yes, since the time of Nzeogwu and his fellow coupists, each coming government in Nigeria has always promised to make the fight against corruption its cardinal objective. But certainly and sadly enough, most of those successive governments in the country have only paid lip-service to the system, while the Heads of Government had either participated in the loots directly or through proxies, or felt indifferent.The Economic & Financial Crimes Commission has been doggedly fighting to change the bad narrative about Nigeria, especially recently under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and Mr Ibrahim Magu. Though there may be concerns (genuine and imagined) here and there about the operations of the apex anti-corruption agency, but it can only get better as Nigerians cooperate with EFCC-- even as the relevant Laws governing the operation of this all-important agency are being reviewed or strengthened to curb perceived excesses or arbitrariness; and more-importantly to give more legal biting teeth to the crime-fighting organization.Yes, and indeed, the war against corruption is one that must be won; because according to President Buhari, it is either we kill corruption or corruptions kills Nigeria. And in this well-intended fight, only the guilt needs to be afraid!

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Buharinomics takes a surgical view at the leadership style of President Muhammadu Buhari both as Nigeria's Military Leader after truncating a democratically elected government in 1983 and his second advent as Nigeria's elected democratic president. After being in power for three and half years, it is clear to every Nigerian that electing Buhari as Nigeria's President in 2015 amounted to the worst miscalculation and biggest political travesty in the history of Nigeria.During his short time as Military leader, Nigeria suffered the worst economic recession and suppression of free press. In fact, Nigerians had never seen that kind of hunger and recession as we suffered under Buhari's Military government as Nigerians had to queue for essential commodities such as bread and milk. Nigeria was again thrown into another avoidable economic recession that saw several millions of people losing their jobs, businesses closing down due to unbearable economic environment and the prices of basic goods and services skyrocketing, making Nigeria the country with the highest number of poor people in the world.This book is intended for Nigerians at home and abroad, irrespective of tribe, language, ethnicity or religious affiliation, Africans, potential investors, the International Community, students, policy makers and anyone who is interested in understanding the political economy of Nigeria.
