For a long time, members of the All progressives Congress (APC) have desperately been claiming that the government of President Goodluck Jonathan has not achieved anything in the nearly six years it has been in office. To replace him, they have projected serial presidential aspirant, General Mohammadu Buhari to replace him in the February 14 elections. But it is interesting to note that Buhari and his team in APC have been able to travel to their campaign grounds in some parts of the country via the newly rehabilitated railway system which is initiatives of the Jonathan government. Recall that the same rail transport system was destroyed and practically left for dead by General Buhari during his sojourn as military Head of State. People are wont to ask: What if President Jonathan had not taken the bull by its horns to breathe life back into the rail system? Would Buhari have been able to attend his rallies where he takes ample time to discredit the achievements of President Jonathan? While commissioning new trains last year, The president had lamented the total neglect of such a critical system of transport by successive governments. Although he did not mention names, every Nigerian knows it was Buhari’s government that destroyed the Nigerian Railway Corporation between 1984 and 1985. Speaking during that ceremony, President Jonathan has promised that “The step is aimed at resuscitating and revitalising Nigerian railway which had suffered neglect for decades.” That decade began when Buhari was in power. But strangely, the same Buhari is riding on one of those trains to campaign for election to replace the same man who had brought the trains back to life after he had sent them to the gallows.
