Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has spoken on some national issues, mentioning former Presidents, Goodluck Jonathan, Olusegun Obasanjo and President Muhammadu Buhari.

While he doubted the sincerity of President Buhari’s anti-corruption war, he questioned the capability of Jonathan, to have become President in the first place.

In an interview with Vanguard, the elder statesman said Buhari erred by saying he will limit his probe to only the administration of Jonathan.

 

He said: “In the first place Jonathan should not have been the president of Nigeria because he lacks both the competence and the experience to run the country successfully. Nigeria is not a place to train on the job because unlike in America where there is a set standard in place, it is the leader who sets the standard in Nigeria.”

Speaking further, Musa blamed Obasanjo for the emergence of Jonathan as Nigeria’s leader.

“We don’t dispute the fact that Jonathan should not have been made the president of Nigeria at the time he was brought in but the point remains that Buhari must also prove that he is the saint he has portrayed himself to be.

“But my fear is that there are so many corrupt persons around Buhari and in APC and PDP while he has deliberately decided to limit his probe of corrupt persons to only those who served under Jonathan. This is very sad and a clear evidence of selective trial of opponents.”

“I will advise Buhari to convince himself that he is morally and politically capable to undertake the responsibility of cleaning up Nigeria. I will ask him to constitute a government of national unity involving all the political parties in Nigeria in the task of rebuilding Nigeria.”
