This is what the army’s confidential report says about Buhari

A former military governor of the old Midwest Region, Brigadier Samuel Ogbemudia, says that he once had access to confidential report by the army on Buhari.

According to Ogbemudia,the report written on Nigeria’s President-elect portrayed him as someone with sterling qualities.

He stated this in a recent interview with Punch Newspapers, where he also talked about the fortunes of the Peoples Democratic Party, which he belongs to.

“Buhari I know very well. I knew him when he was commissioned into the Nigerian Army with the rank of a second lieutenant and somewhere along the line, I had the privilege of reading the confidential report written on him by his superior officers and they described him as a young officer with boundless energy and that he likes to continue where others are tired, and I think that helped him to win the presidential election after three attempts.”

“That zeal to go on was there, and it continued until he won and I also believe that the energy that he had as a young officer may not available today to him, but the wisdom is there.”

When asked if he thought the PDP dug its own grave, owing to its unimpressive performance at the recently-concluded general elections, Ogbemudia said: “Well, yes and no. First of all, the behaviour of any society is a reflection of the quality of the leadership they have.”

“We are being led by His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, a very intelligent fellow, with high level of understanding, but somewhere along the line, he had experienced persons around him to help him, but they did not give him the help he wanted and so, relying on false stories coming from time to time led him to do certain things that he ought not to have done and to leave undone those things that he ought to have done.”
