Does Buhari deserve to be celebrated at 70?


ANY Nigerian leader who is fortunate to clock 70 on this earth must express his gratitude to Allah and such a leader is expected to devote his life to touch the lives of his or her own people. It has also been said that one who is celebrating his or her birth day must not forget death. ‘
General Muhammadu Buhari is a former Military ‘head of state in Nigeria. At 70, Buhari is full of life. He is an outspoken politician. General Muhammadu Buhari is a vibrant politician. He has attained the age of 70 years. General Muhammadu Buhari is a visionary leader. He has been trying  his best to go back to Aso rock villa in Abuja to govern us again in Mufti as a Civilian President. It was General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida that toppled General Buhari’s government on 21st August, 1985 while late
General Tunde Idiagbon was in Mecca to perform Hajj. General Buhari said that he has a lot to do for this nation and he wanted to go back to Aso rock to complete his
work which IBB did not allow him to finish.
Personally, I really love Buhari because he is a disciplinarian. I am joining the millions of Nigerians, including Alhaji Barrister Adebayo Shitlu, Pastor Tunde Bakare and Prince
Tonny Momoh to felicitate with General Muhammadu Buhari on his 70th birthday.
I am of the firm belief that General Buhari will use the occasion of his 70th birthday to join hands together with all the Northern leaders including General Abdulsalami Abubakar and General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida to end the insurgency of Boko Haram for the sake of
national unity. Mr President is not happy with the security situation in the Northern part of Nigeria. The issue of ending Boko Haram rests in the hands of Northern leaders.
General Muhammadu Buhari has a lot of supporters in the north because of his good nature towards the poor masses.
But the question arises: Does Buhari deserve to be celebrated at 70? Yes, he deserves to be celebrated in a low key manner because of security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Buhari hates corruption. He is a man of many parts. He did very well when he was appointed as a chairman of Petroleum trust fund in Nigeria.I have a genuine respect  for Him.
