Gen. Buhari, who was the CPC presidential candidate in last year’s elections, while speaking in Kaduna at the weekend, expressed indignation over the unsavoury state of affairs in the country.
He cautioned that if the ruling PDP did not wake up to the challenges of governance, it would be consumed by the peoples’ revolution.“If there is no social justice, there will be revolution one way or the other. The PDP doesn’t believe in real democracy and I hope they are strong enough to go through the consequences of their injustice… People are dying in twos, while others are syndicates of thieves, with people stealing and keeping money in their houses up to the tune of N2billion. By 2015, whoever steals public funds has automatically sentenced himself to death,’’ Buhari said at the launch of a poverty alleviation programme’’.But reacting yesterday when he led a delegation of PDP members from Nasarawa State to the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, Maku dismissed Buhari’s admonition as misplaced. Maku hails from the state.The minister said that CPC did not win election in Nasarawa, but rigged itself to power.“We were robbed in Nasarawa, we won a clear election; none of us here is happy. We won, but lost in the court. We won, clearly, there is no doubt about it. So, you can see that you cannot have twenty-four members in the house of assembly and you say we lost the general election.“CPC isn’t organized anywhere. You can see from Kaduna, to all the other places, CPC isn’t an organized party. We have heard them talking about revolution, but it will sweep the other side. We should reclaim Nasarawa; it is too close to the Villa to be left to the opposition; we cannot allow that’’.
