THE CALL.


1.        “Arise 0 compatriot, Nigeria’s call obey” - so says our sacred National
Anthem. The call of the Nation is a call above self. It is the call to all
well-meaning citizens of this great country to play their part, so that the labour of our fathers and leaders will not be in vain, and a better future is guaranteed to the younger generations and indeed future generations yet unborn.

Nigeria, with its diversity, is the most populous country in Africa and as such plays a crucial role in the world order. The world needs a stable Nigeria, being one of the largest suppliers of oil in the world. Oil and Gas certainly are the instruments of the new world order; they are the hobs on the wheels of world development.
It is indeed a blessing that Nigeria is rich in Oil and Gas.

2.       Oil and Gas are increasingly becoming the foundation of the Nigerian economy and the key to its future. The need has thus arisen for the nation to harness its Oil and Gas potentials so as to take advantage of the opportunities there from.
Nigeria needs a change, almost in every sphere of her life. In the Oil and Gas industry - which today is the backbone of the nation, there is need for change. Most of the laws that govern the Oil and Gas industry are currently in the process of review and amendment. There is therefore the need for proffessionals with vast knowledge.
Socially, Nigeria needs a change. The people need socio -cultural reorientation. Economically, the reform has commenced. Politically, Nigeria needs a change in attitude to leadership and stewardship. Nigeria needs leaders that are genuinely committed to the overall development of the country. There is need to ensure that corrupt and bankrupt minds do not take over the affairs of leadership in this country again.
3.       The challenge requires all hands to be on deck to lift the nation up. Each and every patriotic citizen of this country should contribute his or her quota to the crusade of making Nigeria rise up to its position and place of pride in the world. Our Anthem says:
“Arise 0 compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey, to serve our fatherland with love and strength and faith”.
A rational decision will be to VOTE for a credible candidate. A person with integrity, a history of consistency, and a clear understanding of the needs of the people and the problems of the society.

OUR EXPECTATION
FROM THOSE THAT
WILL REPRESENT US

1.       Creation of sustainable grass-root oriented agricultural programme that would enhance the purchasing power of the common man.

2.       Rehabilitation of special skill acquisition centers that would encourage the drive for entrepreneurial excellence.

3.       Provision of a special support system for gifted children.

4.       Enlightenment on the various types of scholarships available
and facilitating means of accessing them.

5.       Creation of a realistic waste to wealth conversion programme.

6.       Youth empowerment through technical development and
technological apprenticeship scheme.

7.       Supporting lean & small government.

8.       Support anti graft law &the fight against corruption.

9.       Privatization of the refineries / Power

10.   Promotion of enabling laws to eliminate importation of
petroleum products into the country.


Let us listen to our Senator from one of the Committee “he would not lobby for fund in 2011 to maintain our past Head of State and said they should sacrifice the perks of development and employment, which they failed to provide during their regime. The hospitals have no drugs, the roads are bad, there is no electricity, most graduate are unemployed. The past leaders are more than comfortable. In a situation where there are lots of unemployed graduates roaming the street and threatening a revolution, rather than give this money to them, we should use it to generate employment “
Ref- NIGERIAN COMPASS FEBRUARY 17 2011 front page quote

This seems to be election time talks, what is National Assembly doing to cut its pay to reflect the will of Nigerians? We should not be fool for another four years. Twelve years of the ruling party PDP that controls both the Executive and the Legislative arms is enough to make meaningful changes in our lives. It also controls more than two thirds of the States and local government.

The actualization of our aspiration that would promote the welfare of our people to facilitate better living standard for the generality of our people depends on the right choice we make with our VOTE. VOTE Alhaji Mohammadu  Buhari for the PRESIDENT  of the federal republic of Nigeria to save Nigeria from economic collapse.  Listen to late Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1983. He said at the World Press Conference to the press that “1983 is our last chance for democracy that if we fail to elect the right person to the presidency we may never get the democracy of our desire. He further expatiated that what we are going to get will be like democracy while actually it not “. Today we do not have government of the people for the people that addresses the yearning of our timing population. Politicians of today look after their cronies and family members hence our infrastructural total broke down.
To restore our hope which AWO talked about till he died in 1987, we should vote for General Buhari retired, to restore our dignity in the comittee of nations. A nation that continues to import sub standard petroleum product into the country and accepts that as norm is crazy.
Nigeria is one of the most influential members of the OPEC that produces 2.4 million barrel of oil par day and yet imports petroleum product with broken down refineries infrastructure despite billions of naira spent with nothing to show for, I think is criminal. This development started from Abacha till date. The PDP ruling government has no answer for it than to claims that since President Jonathan no queue at the filling station. May we ask at what cost to our country and the economy? No answer to power issue and infrastructure.

We want somebody that will take these issues head-on and that person is Buhari an incorruptible gentleman and is only crooks that would worry about Buhari’s Presidency.
VOTE FOR BUHARI
