Elder statesman and second Republic governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji
Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari,
describing him as a failed leader.
He said Buhari and his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had failed Nigerians and should be booted out without delay.
Speaking
with newsmen during the weekend, the outspoken former governor, said
things had gone from bad to worse under the current government led by
Buhari.
He said, “I will tell you they are complete failures. If
PDP was incompetent, APC is even worse. In the case of PDP government,
it was just incompetence and you can negotiate with incompetents.”
But
in the case of the APC, it is fascism and you know that you have no
stand with a fascist who clear the obstacle by enemies. This is what we
are experiencing now. We have replaced incompetence with fascism,” he
quipped.
On the way forward, the octogenarian said: “The way
forward is the complete change of the socio-economic system and the
leadership produced by it. Believe me, since we have reached the end of
the road, there is no need pretending. We have to go to the ultimate, a
revolutionary upsurge either in a legal sense or social revolution.”
Musa
also bemoaned the recurring feud between the legislature and the
executive arm of the government, stressing that it had never been this
bad in the history of democracy in Nigeria.
“The face-off between
the legislature and the executive is the worst experience we have had in
the history of democracy in Nigeria. It seems that this is the worst
relationship between the two arms of government.
“The
obvious reason for this is the socio-political system controlling all
development in the country which is based on self-interest first and
public interest second. We never had it this rough before and this is
the reason for so many aspect of the negative state of the nation,” he
said.
He faulted the strategic plans put in place by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2019
general elections.
“I received the document for the 2019 general
elections strategic plan at the event venue. I even knew about the
conference about two days to the event. If the political parties are to
be respected, they should be given at least two weeks’ notice to study
the document and come ready to participate as equals.
“The whole
conference about strategic plan for 2019 and the presentations are
theoretical and elitists. There are so many things that the electorate
cannot understand.
“INEC has also shown bias towards political
parties by recognising the so-called Inter-party Advisory Council (IPAC)
and not the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP). INEC must
tell Nigerians who established IPAC,” he noted.
Just few weeks
back, a letter written by Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai where he
also faulted Buhari for failing the nation was leaked to the media.
Similarly,
elder Statesman, Tanko Yakasai has also claimed that things went bad
after President Muhammadu Buhari returned from his medical vacation and
took over from Prof Yemi Osinbajo, who was acting in his stead.
