Alhaji Balarabe Musa, former governor of Kaduna State, in this interview, fears that the 2015 polls would not be free and fair because the conditions for credible election are not in place. He also justifies northern leaders’ gang-up against President Goodluck Jonathan so long as it is legal. He accuses the Federal Government of conspiracy and cover-up in the abduction of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls and urges the set up of a commission of inquiry on Dr Steven Davis’ comments on sponsors of Boko Haram. Excerpts:
When asked about Chibok girls,see his answer
I think their abduction is very suspicious because we have to face the reality. We are dealing with politics particularly the 2015 elections, which encourages the incumbent to destabilise the country so that elections will not hold in 2015, in which case the provisions of the constitution will prevail. It means that the president will continue.
Is it true that there is a gang up by Northern leaders and elders against President Goodluck Jonathan?
It is legitimate and democratic politics. If you gang up against your opponent what is wrong with it as long as you are doing it legally?
Ahead of the 2015 elections, a group has been going round the six geo-political zones of the country to hold rallies for President Jonathan. What is your take on this considering the mood of the nation?
I hold the president responsible for this act of gross misconduct and it is an impeachable offence because he is undermining the law.
Nobody can absolve the president of this because he cannot say he doesn’t know about it. He cannot deny authorizing it because these campaigns are being funded with the approval of the president. Here, Mr President is been charged with gross misconduct and an impeachable offence.
