LATEST UPDATE:
In Bayelsa, Buhari blasts PDP.Vote out ruling party, APC aspirant advises
FROM FEMI FOLARANMI, YENAGOA
From President Goodluck Jonathan’s home state, Bayelsa, came a verbal attack from former Head of State and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, General Muhamadu Buhari on the ruling Peoples Democratic Party( PDP)
Buhari, who spoke at the APC Secretariat in Yenagoa yesterday, descended on the PDP, accusing the ruling party of the gradual destruction of the country with the sustenance of corruption and its inability to secure lives and property. He urged the crowd that came to welcome him to vote out the PDP government in 2015 to end the era of corruption in the country.
Buhari said he was in the state to interact with the delegates ahead the December 10 presidential primaries of the party.
According to him, the problem with the nation’s democracy is the presence of massive corruption perpetuated by the PDP. “What is wrong with Nigeria? What is wrong is massive corruption and the commentators have said it and written about it, and I believe them, if we don’t kill corruption in Nigeria, corruption would kill us. If Nigerians make the wrong choice, as they have done since 1999,they will pay the price.
“If you want to know how much we have been suffering for the last 15 years under the PDP, try and imagine what was our condition in 1999.We will use the Nigerian Airways and the Nigerian Shipping Line. The roads were not too bad. The most important among these, I supposed, was the industrialization and the creation of jobs, goods and services through what is called NEPA or Power Holding Company of Nigeria.
“But after spending so much, United States dollars, we are still where we are. Nigerians have abundant resources. God has endowed us with petroleum and some mineral resources, a lot of land for farming. But the educational standards have gone haywire. The infrastructure are gone. The institutions, I have just learnt, have disappeared. If you find out how much we have earned till date, you will be amazed.”
On the war against Boko Haram, Buhari pointed out that the corruption being perpetrated by the PDP government has rendered the military weak and incapable of arresting the insurgency in the North-eastern states.
“The National Assembly became concerned about the performance of the military in the field. In the media interview conducted, soldiers said they were ordered to face Boko Haram without appropriate weapons and ammunition. Even their leadership ran away.
“The National Assembly was again concerned. They went and dug out the budgets allocated to the military in the last three or four years. They dug out monies allocated to the government to go and buy weapons to distribute to the military and prepare them to defend the nation. But the hearing was frustrated. The message is absolutely clear to Nigerians now. If you don’t remove the PDP next year, they are going to kill this country,” Buhari warned.
