Gen Muhammadu Buhari
A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Nasir el-Rufai, has again attacked the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), the second time in three days.
On Tuesday, the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, who spoke on a radio interview in Kaduna, stated that members of the ruling party fear General Muhammadu Buhari more than they fear God.
His comment comes 72 hours after he accused President Goodluck Jonathan of ethnic and religious politics. He also said Jonathan was shielding those stealing the country’s crude oil, whom he alleged were loyalists and friends of the PDP
He further took a swipe at the Vice-President, Namadi Sambo, accusing him of non-performance during his reign as governor on Kaduna state.
Speaking on the programme, El-rufai said that “They (PDP) are always in a rush to twist what Buhari said because they are afraid of him. They try to do everything possible to paint the man black and they are not even afraid that one day, they will stand before God and account for their action.
Continuing, “They are more scared of him (Buhari) more than they are scared of God because somebody that is scared of the day when he will face God will not do certain things. He will not create a lie and try to make it true. This is why I made that statement. And I think people should be very careful and very wary of whatever the PDP and its media say about General Buhari.”
The kaduna-born politician added that “PDP has become a virus that is infecting and destroying the country because they are not doing anything productive. They have changed our politics into that of ethnicity and religion to divert attention from their incompetence, lack of capacity and looting of the treasury.
“It has become clear that this threatens the existence of Nigeria as a nation and the prosperity of its people,” he added.
