Former Managing Director, Onne Oil and
Gas Free Zone Authority (OOGFZA), Dr. Noble Abe has described former Head of
State and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
General Muhammadu Buhari, as a man of character and integrity.
He said, “I am a Nigerian and very
proud to be one. I am however appalled by the direction our dear country and
politics are going. A nation where men and women of integrity are vilified and
denigrated while corrupt and people of dubious character are celebrated and
treated as heroes”.
“It is now virtually a crime to live an
honest life, because then, you are seen as nobody and called unprintable names,
while fraudulent characters are treated with utmost respect in our society.
Something is obviously wrong with this scenario and everything must be done to
restore normalcy otherwise our children of tomorrow will live in a society that
has lost all its moral values”. Abe averred.
“I am not a practising politician, but
I am a personal friend of General Muhammadu Buhari and the things that have
been said about this exceptional Nigerian will upset the stomach of someone who
truly knows him. I do not know of any other Nigerian who can stand up to him
when it comes to character and integrity”.
“It therefore appals me when people
whose only credentials are that, the EFCC has stopped chasing them around
because they know how to double speak now have the audacity and effrontery to
question the character of a man like General Muhammadu Buhari.” The former
OOGFZA boss opine.
Abe disclosed that even when the
children of Nigerians with less achievement compared to Buhari were studying
abroad he had to persuade him to send his two daughters, who had spent years
without graduating from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, due to
unending strikes to continue their academic pursuit in the United Kingdom.
He said, as PTF chairman, which was the
richest public institution in the country as at the time, Buhari had to sell
his personal property located in Victoria Island, Lagos, in order to send his
kids to school and caution Nigerians on playing politics with sensitive issues
especially the murdering of peoples’ character.
