KANO State governor and presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Musa Kwankwaso, has faulted claims by Sheikh Lawal Gumi, that there will be bloodshed if President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari contest the 2015 presidential election.
According to him, it is not good to make such a statement, adding that “we don’t need bloodshed in the country now.”
Kwankwso said the electorate should be allowed to elect whoever they believed could satisfy their yearnings.
Disclosing this while speaking with journalists in Kano, Kwankwaso, however, said he would defeat President Jonathan in a free and fair election, because the masses had resolved to effect a change of governance.
He, therefore, noted that Jonathan’s administration knew well that it had failed and the electorate would vote it out in 2015, hence, the need to be using religion, tribal and parochial sentiments to deceive people.
“Those in Abuja were not in tune with what is happening in the country, they were only interested in looting the treasury. People don’t have job, no food on their tables and security challenges bedeviling the country, but those in power are busy spending the nation’s resources on Transformation Agenda of Nigeria (TAN),” he lamented.
He berated the present government over its lukewarm attitude to uplift the military in tackling the security challenges in the country, saying it was too painful that the nation’s military, which was respected all over the world, had been rubbished.
“Lack of political will is hindering the effectiveness and efficiency of the military,” he said, promising that if given the chance to rule the country, most of the problems confronting the military would be a thing of the past.
Commenting on who will emerge as the APC presidential standard-bearer, the governor disclosed that “all we were interested is to take power from the current government through the ballot.
