The National Chairman of Conference of Nigeria Political Parties,
CNPP, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has urged citizens to revolt against the
Buhari-led administration.
Balarabe Musa noted that the hunger in the land was getting
unbearable, and nothing else will push the people to revolt against a
government because the primary responsibility of government is the
welfare of the people.
He urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to shy away from his responsibility in his chat with newsmen
“Well, they should protest. I know that it is a risk because security
men may shoot them. However, they should protest because this is their
life. Somebody is playing with their lives, somebody is destroying their
lives, they should defend their lives and protect their interest.
“Before the last general election, many Nigerians saw Buhari as an
angel who could rescue the country from socio-economic problems but
Nigerians are now saying that they misjudged, and Nigerians should in
future make sure that they access any prospective leader critically,
taking into account his records, his inclination and everything,
particularly records of performance in office.
“Nigerians are not different from the rest of human kinds; they are
not different from the rest of the people in the world. Whatever people
did in the world to protect themselves or show their anger against bad
government, Nigerians can do it, and nobody should deceive himself that
Nigerians are so docile, that they will not revolt. Anger pushes anybody
to the limit.”
“The idea of government asking Nigerians to be patient can only be
sustained in a situation whereby people see hope and changes. But where
people don’t see changes, where they don’t see the basis for expecting
changes, and they suffer continuously, appealing to them to be patient i
may befutile.
“There is hunger in the land and Nigerians are dying of hunger. I
dare to warn the President and everybody that can listen, that history
has proved that mass hunger, hunger of the population, mass poverty of
the population, killer hunger have always been the most immediate cause
of proletarian revolution in every country of the world. And the
President should know this; let him not be deceived by those who are
benefitting from the current situation of hunger.”
“In my opinion, Nigeria can’t be broke, the country is very rich. The
problem is the system and the managers of the economy. The problem of
Nigeria is real, but it is something that can be managed. But as I told
you, if the President is looking for an answer, he will get it; he can
get it in what I have said; change the system and the leadership like I
have said.
“It is definitely true APC inherited this bad situation, but APC came
to power with the promise of correcting the negative state of the
nation. In this case, instead of correcting it, they are just
complaining, making promises, how can they continue to do this over one
year of leadership?
“We want to see them really doing work, and there is no way they can
do any work and achieve anything without changing the system and the
leadership inevitably produced by the system, both of which are based on
self interest first, public interest second or even incidental. This
should be changed in favour of public interest first and self interest
second.
