Abba Kyari, chief of staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, has taken a
\nswipe at the US and Europe over their role in Nigeria\u2019s upcoming
\nelections.<\/p>\n

In an article published by THISDAY, Kyari said while the world powers
\nclaim they want free and fair elections, their representatives in Nigeria
\nhave a different agenda.<\/p>\n

Kyari accused the western nations of opposing Buhari because of his reform
\nagenda which will free the country from import dependency and policies
\nthat hurt the Nigerian economy.<\/p>\n

He also took a shot at Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president and Buhari\u2019s
\nmain challenger in Saturday\u2019s election \u2014 linking the PDP candidate to the
\nfailures Nigeria has experienced as a developing nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis failure goes beyond individuals or particular political parties,
\nalthough it is true that our decline accelerated under the PDP after the
\nend of military rule in 1999, a betrayal that Atiku Abubakar and many of
\nhis allies hope forlornly to revive and celebrate,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

THE FULL TEXT
\nPresident Muhammadu Buhari has campaigned in this election exactly as he
\nhas governed since 2015, true to the values in which he has believed all
\nhis adult life: our security, a diversified economy and an administration
\nfree from the scourge of corruption and the sleazy mediocrity it fuels.<\/p>\n

Buhari has not changed, and with good reason. Without these attributes,
\nNigeria will not know peace, prosperity or the rule of law: the only real
\nfoundations on which free and fair elections and genuine democracy can
\nthrive. He is stubborn and resolute in defence of these values. This
\nirritates quite a number in the elite, and especially those who, four
\nyears ago, thought that they could play the President and use his
\npopularity to continue to steal and cheat the people.
\nThese players have failed. They are angry but they have not yet given up.
\nThey have some unlikely allies. Our traditional friends in the US and
\nEurope say they want nothing from Nigeria except free and fair elections.
\nBut if you look at what their representatives here actually do rather than
\nwhat they say, the unmistakeable signs of a quite different agenda are
\nplain to see.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to forget where we were, a country falling apart, unable even to
\nprotect school girls and where corruption defined every aspect of so much
\nof our public life and private business. Today our media ignore the
\nrevelations in a Milan court of how oil companies and fixers stuffed cash
\nin suitcases and the nine-figure bank accounts of former PDP justice
\nministers and spy chiefs and Presidents. This failure goes beyond
\nindividuals or particular political parties, although it is true that our
\ndecline accelerated under the PDP after the end of military rule in 1999,
\na betrayal that Atiku Abubakar and many of his allies hope forlornly to
\nrevive and celebrate.<\/p>\n

Our young people see only the devastation that has been visited upon them,
\ntoo young to remember the vibrant rural economy that once gave us the
\nwealth for the schools and hospitals we are only now beginning to revive.<\/p>\n

They cannot imagine the rubber plantations where for decades Dunlop and
\nMichelin made tyres for Nigeria and the world. The factories are long
\nsince closed. Our palm oil was once a world leader but it is only now,
\nunder this government, that we are reviving an industry on life support.
\nWe have timber, we have hardworking people \u2013 and yet we came to be
\nimporting even simple school desks and bedframes. We have so much of what
\nwe need for fertilisers, yet government after government preferred to let
\nthe plants we had already built go to waste for easy commissions on
\nsecond-rate imports. Textiles used to employ thousands, and will do again,
\nwhen we allow our talent fairly to compete on the international stage.<\/p>\n

A major crude producer with four refineries that once delivered petroleum
\nproducts for home consumption and export, Nigeria was reduced to importing
\npetroleum products as if we were Burkina Faso or Bangladesh, not a leading
\nmember of OPEC. Our golden goose was starved. The military and the PDP
\ntook all the money, they didn\u2019t pay oil partners what we owed and only
\nnow, after this government\u2019s efforts, speaking plainly and finding real
\nsolutions, can we begin to grow exports that have stagnated for 30 years.
\nWhen our private banks collapsed (again) in 2009, the outstanding
\nliabilities were N5.7 trillion. It is hard to imagine a sum of money, so
\nvast, owed by so few, to so many. The list of decay is long. And yet this
\nwas the inherited culture of government \u2013 \u2018to those that have, give more\u2019
\n\u2013 that we have challenged, a culture where every declared reform was in
\nfact a disguise to privatise profit and leave the rest of us with all the
\nrisk.<\/p>\n

Nigeria has almost as many problems as we have people. But it also has all
\nthe resources to meet our needs, if they are properly managed and honestly
\nmarshalled. Think where we would be today, but for all the time wasted,
\nthe prosperity we would enjoy and the better partner we might have been to
\nour friends in the region and further afield! Buhari is not a populist but
\nhe is popular because he is delivering on our most basic needs first.<\/p>\n

Do our foreign friends simply not understand what is at stake, or do they
\nactually want us to fail? We know we are not equal partners, and do not
\npretend to be so. In our own time in government, the US, the UK and the EU
\nlet us know subtly, and often not so subtly, what we should be doing on
\neverything from currency reform to fuel deregulation and the import of
\ntoothpicks.<\/p>\n

They have their own subsidies to protect key strategic interests, their
\nfarmers and steel plants, but condemn our own efforts to protect the
\npoorest and most vulnerable from an unregulated market for food, transport
\nand housing, or to create and protect space for new opportunities and
\ninnovation to flourish. This is not so much a question of policy, but
\nintegrity: we, at least, mean what we say. So many past governments in
\nNigeria did not.<\/p>\n

Our transition has been difficult because Nigeria needs radical change,
\nwhich we have been delivering, despite ingenious and often disingenuous
\nresistance from vested interests and the business-as-usual brigade. Which
\nbegs the question: is there a difference between what suits Nigeria\u2019s real
\nnational interest and what suits the interests of the Great Powers? The
\nyears of failure were characterised by hypocrisy and betrayal by our
\nleaders, who were in turn easy targets for manipulation \u2013 much easier for
\nforeign powers to manage than a government genuinely looking to repair and
\nrevive today so that we can build tomorrow. And tomorrow never dies.
\nI always knew that business-as-usual had a powerful self-interest in
\nresisting CHANGE. I had hoped their tentacles did not stretch so far or so
\neasily beyond our borders, that a good case, well made, would receive a
\nfair hearing. In three and a half years in government, I have learned that
\ndecent argument and hard facts face stiff competition from vested
\ninterests that seem so easily to sway people who should know better. A
\nconvenient lie is not better than an uncomfortable truth.<\/p>\n

Nowhere is this clearer than the contrived debate on the conduct of
\nelections. Buhari\u2019s commitment to the democratic process is a matter of
\nrecord, time and again. All of the work to rebuild our public
\ninstitutions, restore our values and recalibrate our future prospects can
\nsucceed only in a democracy in which the integrity of elections is
\nsacrosanct.<\/p>\n

Instead of judging Nigeria by our actions, it seems altogether too easy
\nfor foreign partners to be swayed by the expensive words of lobbyists.
\nRiva Levinson has been hired by Bukola Saraki. She was trained by Paul
\nManafort and Roger Stone (both caught up in the probe into interference by
\nforeign powers in the US elections in 2016) and guide earlier in her
\ncareer to dictators like Siad Barre, unprincipled warlords like Jonas
\nSavimbi, or frauds like Iraqi exile Ahmed Chalabi, the man who neo-conned
\nthe Bush White House.<\/p>\n

We are meant to believe that Ms Levinson, like the others who are paid by
\none of the contestants, wants only to promote a free and fair race. And
\nthat it is only a coincidence that this language for hire is identical to
\nwhat we hear from accredited diplomats!<\/p>\n

By omission or commission, it appears it may actually suit our friends,
\ndeep down, below the pious words, to see Nigeria a basket case, begging
\nbowl in hand, than the partner we could, should and will prove to be. And
\nwe have been here before. At the end of 1984, British diplomats predicted
\na coup against the then Buhari government, with whom London was
\nquarrelling over everything from apartheid to economic policy (as we knew
\nthen, and as it turned out, Buhari was right). Glowing profiles of Ibrahim
\nBabangida were prepared and telegrams of congratulation were drafted. Mrs
\nThatcher put the project on ice, at least for a few months, but it was not
\nlong before foreign powers concluded that their best interests would be
\nserved by people who told them everything they wanted to hear on
\ndemocratisation and reform, but, as they could and should have known,
\nmeant precisely none of it. Nigeria lived through the consequences of this
\nsystemic deception. We lost so much in the 30 years after 1985, but
\nnothing as precious as the loss of confidence in our values and what we as
\na nation could be.<\/p>\n

In the 19th century, Lord Palmerston, Britain\u2019s Prime Minister and one of
\nthe country\u2019s most celebrated diplomats, observed that \u201cnations have no
\npermanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.\u201d We have
\nbeen delivering on a programme to restore the rule of law, to build
\ndemocracy and strengthen security, to deal with corruption and to create
\nopportunity in a new meritocracy. It is a platform that helps tackle
\nviolent extremism, illegal migration, trafficking and financial crime.
\nThese are the very issues that are central to the interests of our foreign
\nfriends, and we are producing results.<\/p>\n

Nigeria will make its choice on Saturday. It has never before had a
\ngovernment that has more clearly demonstrated through words and actions
\nits commitment to transparency and the rule of law, protecting good judges
\nand decent public office-holders from the corruption of their peers.
\nVoters are free to move forwards to a better future or back to the
\ndesperate past from which we are now beginning to emerge. Our election
\ncommission is independent and has all resources it needs to do its job. We
\nshould all be wise to the risks, including partial and premature
\nannouncements of unofficial results from unverifiable sources, especially
\nwhen one party has already declared well in advance that it cannot lose
\nunless there is rigging. There should be no interference from any quarter,
\nincluding foreign powers who say one thing but do another \u2013 exactly the
\nformula that their friends here have employed for years to bring us so
\nclose to despair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
