General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd)
The presidential candidate of the Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC), in 2011 general election, General Muhammadu
Buhari (rtd), has attributed the prevailing insecurity situation in the
country to injustice, bribery and corruption caused by poor leadership.
He made this assertion while addressing a mammoth
crowd at the Halliru Abdu Stadium in Birnin Kebbi, the Kebbi state
capital, where he flagged off campaigns for the local government
election in the state slated for September 15, 2012.
According to him, governments at all levels were not
living up to expectations because they have instituted corruption to be
the order of the day which, he claimed, was responsible for the present
predicament bedeviling the nation.
He added that unless something serious was done to
avert the menace, “it is disheartening to note that corruption has
killed every sector of the economy, especially in the petroleum sector
that we now imports the commodity from other oil producing countries
which clearly shows a sign of failure.”
He, however, called on CPC loyalists in the state to
vote for the party in the forthcoming council election and to ensure
their votes count.
Buhari, who presented the party flags to 16
chairmanship candidates of the party in the scheduled local council
election, enjoined them to mobilise their supporters to ensure the party
emerged victorious in the election.
Earlier, receiving the 2011 CPC presidential
candidate at the Birnin Kebbi Government House, the state acting
governor, Alhaji Ibrahim K. Aliyu, had thanked Buhari for the visit and
assured that the state government has provided an enabling environment
for all political parties participating in the poll.
