Political Intolerance In Nigeria.Chapter 7,page 5

"......because l am not going to change and become a Muslim".He just laughed and said "Those who even think or say it are stupid.How can I islamise Nigeria?Show me how I will do it?Will I shut down all  churches and turn them mosques?I did not take Nigeria to organization of Islamic countries.Because of the economic situation in the days of former president shehu shagari we had nothing.We had to resort to barter.When they said we could get a loan from OIC without interest that was the only interest I had.I pulled down mosques because they were not in proper places.In my regime it was not a case of Muslims or christians,being locked up.It was a case of corrupt people."

He also narrated to him 'when Tunde Idiagbon was trying to compel his wife to become a Muslim he was the one who refused ".He said he was a disciplined person beyond compare and manages resources well .The bakare concluded"I will rather follow such a person than join looters."He said Buhari hardly print posters or billboards but the people he had helped that got contract during petroleum trust fund without lobbying printed posters for him and he only pay for public venues."

"What you said was true and Tam David West also confirmed your sources and Bakare's remarks about Buhari as the truth.See the Vanguard of June 13,2005 a year when daddy died"

"Which page?"as he stood up and take a paper below the top shelf as black power gestured the direction and opened it.

"Page 30 go to the third question.You know the interview was done by two journalist Uzor maxim uzoatu and Paul Odili"

Then white power reads"Oh I see.'one was during murtala Muhammad 's administration:his style was unique.And whether one likes it or not, Muhammad Buhari 's regime was only the second example of a successful leadership.I believe if Murtala had lived longer, however history would have judge him differently.Fortunately he died very early.He came at a time Nigeria needed discipline and he provided it.I served under Buhari and Idiagbon and murtala Muhammad too as commissioner of education in Rivers state from 1975 to 1979.I worked with Buhari and I can stick out my neck anytime to say there is no leader present in Nigeria that is like Buhari like Muhammad Buhari;none . Obasanjo is a very poor poor distant ...I can't even call him second.Why am I saying this? Buhari gave leadership by example not sermons.He gave discipline and possessed personal discipline.Without personal discipline you can t get anywhere."
