Former governor of Old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, on Monday urged Nigerians not to vote the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) into power in 2019.
Musa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the country would be worse if the main opposition party was allowed to come back in 2019.
He lamented that the PDP brought Nigerians into misery and underdevelopment under its rule for 16 years which almost ruined the economy with massive corruption.
The former governor said though all was not well with the country under the present All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, Nigerians should never risk having any hope in the PDP to make things better.
According to him “PDP lacks the moral right to ask for a return to power.
“I do not understand the hype about PDP returning to power. I just do not understand. Return to do what? The party that created many problems for 16 years while they were in power? No way.
“Things are not too good at the country at the moment, but I think the country would be worse if the PDP is allowed to return. We saw what they did for 16 years and they will definitely mess things up further.
“Nigerians should not trust the PDP with power. We will be disappointed. What we need in the country right now is a credible alternative that would deliver good governance and respond to our needs.”
The former governor said Nigerians must be prepared to change the narrative by voting according to their conscience in 2019.
The former governor lamented about the economy being controlled by the private sector which he claimed was ripping off the people with poor service delivery.
Musa, therefore, suggested economic restructuring of the country to bring back privatised public corporations to government control for provision of more efficient services to the people.
