Speaking during an interview session with PUNCH Newspaper, Balarabe said , “Buhari has not demonstrated that he is serious about using dialogue to resolve the various ethnic tension. This government does not care about dialogue. The President’s military background and approach are affecting his performance. Former President Musa Yar’Adua understood the importance of dialogue which enabled him to put a halt to militancy in the Niger Delta. But what do we have now? Tension and agitation in different parts of the country.
“Dialogue is the only way to resolve the Biafra agitation in the South-East, the Niger Delta Avengers and the Boko Haram violence. The APC does not deserve a second term. The PDP is not also a better option. We need another credible alternative.”
“Buhari created enemies for his government when he excluded the South-East from his kitchen cabinet. The kitchen cabinet is the closest to the President. The cabinet is even more superior to the main cabinet which comprises the ministers. The exclusion of the South-East from his cabinet gave rise to the agitation for Biafra.
“The solution is the return to a state-economy rather than a privatised economy which is not helping the country. There is unemployment, poor power supply, tension across the geopolitical zones and poverty. The country needs a better alternative that would restore peace, ensure the rule of law and revive the economy. The APC and the PDP lack the capacity to achieve this.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I agree with you elder statesman sir
ReplyDeletebut elder stateman you must add this ,the issue of leadership must not always be to the north, secondly notherners are citizen of Nigeria either muslims or christhians , so no killing of Christians should be tolerated,then we will know that your speaking well for this country
ReplyDeleteAlhaji Balarabe Musa, you have expressed a great volume of knowledge with an eye for the future. I solemnly appreciated your courage having hit the nail at the head. Only very few people can tell our president the truth because of their ill political favour they seek. May God grant you more wisdom and long life.
ReplyDeleteAllah wadaran naka ya lalace, 'Rakumin dawa yaga na gida'. How many times did the FG ask the groups you're talking about to come for the dialogue but they refused. The NDA are even boosting that they will never dialogue with the FG with threat to continue bombing. If you Balarabe think a group can fight with FG then go ahead and critise Buhari.and you can come back and tell the world how Buhari delt with the militancy in Nigeria. Militancy is a crime not in Nigeria alone but all over the world.
