My tweet of Friday April 20, 2018 was
typical of the reaction, «Actually Buhari was describing himself - he didn't get a good education and has no certificate; he's lived on the Nigerian state all his life; he doesn't like work; and he's fixated on Nigeria's oil...» In truth, Buhari has not presented evidence of completing secondary
school - in all the
elections he contested, including in 2015 he tendered affidavits to INEC and has declined to perform the simple task of providing his
school certificate; since he joined the army in 1961, he has been a «ward» of the Nigerian state and served in multiple states as military governor, as Minister of Petroleum and Chairman of NNPC
board under illegal military regimes; he was himself an unconstitutional military head of state; he was Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) under the despotic and thieving dictator, Abacha; and is now back as civilian president.
Another candidate aligned with the Buffalo
School Board majority was knocked off the ballot Monday in the latest twist in a fierce contest for control of the
board.The continued challenges to petitions of would - be candidates underscore the dramatic politics that make this an unusually tense
election, drawing interest from political, labor and business factions not
typical...
