      Well, I mention some federal medical centers that were built by him. Why I didn't say 'all federal medical centers' as has been said in many online write up is because the federal medical center ebute meta in Lagos for instance was first established in 1964, while the federal medical center Abeokuta came into existence in April 1983. Our stories are base on in depth research. We don't just pick stories from blogs and post.

      He also converted all SDP and NRC party buildings to Local Government assets.
      He bought new vehicles for LG too.
      His administration benefited a few Nigerians, so there was enough money to spend for the country. He did well with our money reserve!

    Good documentary. Another good side that wasn't mentioned, is the 1996-1997 calisthenics at the eagle square Abuja to celebrate Nigeria's independence on October 1: he paid for all the students who participated in the calisthenics performance because we were not spending the long vacation with other students at home. Our schools selected the students to camp at NYSC camp kubwa.

    • @HispleMedia
      @HispleMedia  Місяць тому

      Did you remember that when Buhari was contesting for president, one of the things that was constantly used against him was corruption allegations of the ptf era. It was alleged that over 2billion disappeared from the ptf under him. He may hv executed projects but based on the money available, it was not commensurate. So available records indicate that the ptf didn't live up to expectation. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for watching 😍

    • @sheritainment3923

      Those allegations were orchestrated by obasanjo because of his hatred for abacha for jailing him that's why no one was prosecuted for phantom corruption in ptf

      @@HispleMedia No please... It was not corruption under PTF that plagued Buhari during his contest, rather the funds that went missing during his time as the Petroleum minister under Olusegun Obasanjo's military era btw '77 and '78. PTF was a success. The only thing that plagued it was successive govt claimed that the HIV kits imported into the country were expired. This to my opinion could be lies as successive govts are yet to out-perform Abacha's administration. Thank you...

    Abacha never stole or corrupted enriched himself. He is the only Head of State or President that never made foreign trips so where did the foreign accounts come from and we have lost our sense of history or reason.
