Former Governor of Kaduna state and leader of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, Alhaji Balarabe Musa has called on Nigerians to reject the President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Muhammad Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the 2015 elections.
According to DAILY POST, Musa who is a member of the Peoples Redemption Party, one of the political parties deregistered by INEC, said, ''We are not in support of Buhari or Jonathan because we are not in APC or PDP, we are neutral, we belong to a credible alternative, that is, we merged with Allied Congress Party of Nigeria for the purpose of the 2015 elections.
''We are better alternative to both Jonathan and Buhari, and fundamentally, there is distinct difference between the alliance and APC and PDP, the alliance makes a fundamental difference in the sense that we are committed to leading the way to end all forms of insecurity in order to ensure peace for human and infrastructural developments in the country.
''Nigerians should reject APC and PDP because they brought about the negative states of the nation. When we turn our glance to the domestic front, the picture we see is gloomy. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration has proved, even to its former ardent sympathisers, that it is simply incapable of running the affairs of this nation.
''In whatever field or sector you consider, the Administration’s ineptitude, bankruptcy and decadence stands out for anyone who cares to look. Poverty and unemployment are on the rise and becoming more and more unbearable.
''Agriculture, the mainstay of the national economy and the source of livelihood of some eighty percent of the population, is stagnating and in the doldrums. Most industries have since closed shop. Indeed, it can even be said that these past six years of President Jonathan have witnessed the deindustrialisation of Nigeria. Nigeria is now for all practical purposes, just a large supermarket for all manner of imported goods and services.
''The story is even grimmer when it comes to national security and the protection of the territorial integrity of the country, and the lives and property of citizens. The failure and total incapacity of the Administration to deal with the insurgency in the northern part of the country and stopping it from spreading to other parts of the country is so incomprehensible that many are now forced to wonder if the government itself is not actually the sponsor of these miscreants for political reasons,'' Musa added.
