Balarabe Musa
Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa is the former governor of Kaduna state
during the Nigerian second republic.
The elder statesman had initially refused to comment on the
state of the nation, however in a recent interview with Vanguard,
he complained about Buhari's ability to solve Nigeria's problems.
He said: “The president is just like his predecessor. I ask you
what is the remarkable difference between him and his
predecessor. No fundamental difference.
"They all believe in the system based on self interest first, while
public interest comes after their own interest is served. He is not
radical enough to deal with the situation in Nigeria."
Mr Musa accused the current government of conceding its
leading role in economy to the private sector and then letting the
private sector determine what goes on, adding that this will lead
the country to nowhere.
He explained: “Let us decide first what is the root cause of the
problem of the economy. The root cause is the leading role of
the private sector as opposed to the leading role of the state in
the economy to ensure, peace, equality, justice, dignity of the
human person and the progressive development of the country.
"Unless the leading role of the state is right, we cannot get things
right. With our experience over the years, the only viable solution
to the state of the nation is socialist reconstruction of Nigeria
starting with the leading role of the state in the economy.
"At the moment, the choice of the President and the Senate
President is that the leading role of the economy is that of the
Private sector which is wrong. As long as we continue with this,
we will get no where.
In conclusion, the former governor advised Buhari to immediately
embark on social reconstruction of Nigeria, taking the leading role
in the economy and bring about a system that places public
interest first above every other interest.
Meanwhile, a fresh photo of President Muhammdu Buhari
enjoying his vacation in the United Kindgom has just been
released.
The photo might put to rest all the speculations that the president
is dead.
