The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant in February 14 poll, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), allegedly reacted to the documentary about his life and past military regime which was aired recently by Africa Independent Television (AIT).
General’s reaction was published by Nigerian Breaking News. The agency asked APC candidate why he was not going to respond/react to the latest documentary against his person by the PDP, AIT and NTA.
Buhari replied: “What again am I still going to say? I have been moved to tears reading and seeing how young Nigerians who are even less than 30 years are picking holes and fallacies from the official lies told about me, about Tunde, about Atiku, Soyinka, my ex-late wife, my wife, my late children and the good history of Nigeria.
“Young people have corrected the lies being told by elderly men who were eye witnesses and ought to know better but decided to tell blatant lies so as to prevent us from rescuing Nigeria,” he added.
“But like I said my joy is full today knowing that our young people in this country are better historians and have refused to be manipulated.
I will not say anything now because the nation is not confused and I don’t want or intend to break the Abuja Peace Accord. My word is my bond.”

The documentary, “The Real Buhari”, which presents Buhari’s military regime as a first to sentence a woman to death by firing squad, caused different reactions in Nigeriian society.
Some people called it pro-Jonathan, saing that the documentary was made by the supporters of the key Buhari’s opponent – incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. Others believe believe every word said in the documentary.
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was recently also accused of rumourscirculating around the education certifacates of the APC presidential candidate.
