2015 Presidency: Balarabe Musa explodes

A former Governor of Kaduna State, Al­haji Balarabe Musa, yesterday exploded, say­ing that neither the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nor the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) would produce the President in 2015 elec­tions.

Balarabe Musa, who is the National Chairman of the deregistered Peoples Re­demption Party (PRP) told newsmen in an interview during a meeting with 26 states’ executive committee members of the party that there is no difference be­tween the PDP and APC.
According to him, none of the two major political par­ties is credible enough to take Nigeria to the Promised Land. In view of that, he said PRP had gone into merger with Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) to pro­duce the next president in 2015 elections.
He further disclosed that PRP had instituted legal ac­tion against the Independent National Electoral Commis­sion for deregistering the party.
His words, “We are not in support of Buhari or Jona­than because we are not in APC or PDP. We are neu­tral; we belong to a credible alternative-Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN). We are better alternative to both Jonathan and Buhari. Fundamentally, there is a distinct difference between the alliance and APC and PDP. Nigerians should reject APC and PDP because they brought about the negative states of the nation.”
Balarabe assured that his new fond political party would field candidates for all elective offices includ­ing presidency in the 2015 elections. He berated the present administration for the sorry state of the nation. His words: “When we turn our glance to the domestic front, the picture we see is gloomy. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s administration has proved, even to its for­mer ardent sympathisers that it is simply incapable of running the affairs of this nation. In whatever field or sector you consider. The administration’s ineptitude, bankruptcy and decadence stand out for anyone who cares to look. Poverty and unemployment are on the rise and becoming more and more unbearable. Agri­culture, the mainstay of the national economy and the source of livelihood of some eighty percent of the popula­tion is stagnating and in the doldrums.”
Balarabe promised to give the new alliance party every­thing it needed to actualize its objective.
