Elder statesman and former Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not only lacking political leadership, but it also manifests traits of fascism in its general outlook. In a recent interview when asked about President Buhari’s anti-corruption fight, Musa said, “First of all, it is expected of President Muhammadu Buhari to fight corruption, because he promised to fight corruption and eradicate corruption in Nigeria. He knows very well that concentrating the probe on former President Jonathan’s administration alone will not lead to effective fight against corruption and the elimination of corruption.
“If he continues with this limited objective, he will end up being grouped with the corrupt leaders. The right thing to do is to probe the administrations from 1966 when this level of corruption and criminal wasteful of resources started. It started with the 1966 coup when the military took over power. It is the military that brought about this level of corruption. For President Buhari to say that he will only probe the immediate past civilian administration is disappointing; it is definitely not consistent with the level of integrity associated with him.
“In fact, this attitude should serve as a warning to Nigerians of a possible return of the 1980s episode of double standards, sacred cows, vindictiveness and even fascism, where civilian governors were clamped into jail for alleged corruption. We know that all the Presidents in Nigeria, from the beginning of the Second Republic up till date, have been alleged to have been involved in corruption, and in some places and at some time. It is quite obvious because they are found to be some of the richest Africans. So, I don’t see any honest reason for excluding any administration from 1966 to date. No credible explanation from excluding them, except if the sitting President is afraid of something.”
