Buhari trashes PDP, says he is surprised they plan to contest in 2019

Following Atiku’s move to PDP, President Muhammad Buhari has expressed shock that (PDP) is planning to return to power in 2019 despite the alleged atrocities they committed while in power.

Buhari said this during an interactive session with community leaders in Kano as part of activities to round off his two-day visit to Kano.

In his words: “The atrocities committed by this group against the country are still fresh in our mind, and coming to think of it that they are dreaming to stage a comeback is highly surprising.”

“This group plunged the country into the unnecessary economic mess owing to wanton looting of our Common wealth

He maintained that those who have the onus to administer justice on corrupt individuals are themselves complicit in corruption.

“It becomes difficult to confront it head-on. In a raid conducted by security agents on the resident of a Federal High Court judge recently, they found in his possession four diplomatic passports, a huge amount of hard currency and other incriminating documents bordering on economic crime, and these are the same guys empowered by the constitution to dispensed justice on saboteurs.”

Mr. President further stated that why he said he, “I belong to everybody and belong to nobody” during his swearing-in after he won the 2015 presidential election was because: “My problem is Nigeria and I have been involved in almost all the instability Nigeria experienced – the civil war, the coups, and counter-coups.

“That was why I said during my swearing- in that ‘I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody’.”
