In 2002, Gen Muhammadu Buhari declared his intention to join politics as an opposition politician because of what he describes as the inability of the rulling Peoples Demicratic Party PDP to deliver the dividends of democracy which they promised Nigerians in 1999. He contested the 2003 presidential election as the leading opposition candidate.
In 2007, he did not change his mind as he contested against the rulling party. He stood firm in what he believes. He became more resilient and determined as the days go bye. In 2011, he took another step in the same direction. The Peoples Demicratic Party PDP was ready to wooe Buhari as they were ready to give even more than half of their kingdom to bring Buhari to their fold. Buhari stood firm and held to his believe and vision that the PDP which has failed Nigerians should be shown the way out by the ballots.
