Balarabe blasts Buhari’s change as fake and fascist

A former governor of Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa has described six months under President Muhammadu Buhari as worse than what Nigeria had before.

He said in a newspaper interview: “We are seeing series of steps backward, half a step forward. That is what we are seeing now in Nigeria. Every state of the nation is negative. Every state of the nation in the past is far better six months ago. The President himself has admitted that the country is broke. An incompetent government will give you chance to ague but a fascist government will not give you chance to ague at all.’’

Musa appeared to imply that the incompetent government was that of Goodluck Jonathan and that Buhari was reverting to fascism.

The former governor continued: “We have collected 81 campaign promises and I doubt if there is only and even one that has been fulfilled or given us the encouragement that it will be fulfilled. There is no encouragement. All we see is promises and further promises and body language. You were promised a change by this government and the party. I am now talking to Nigerians. We were not critical enough to assess the change promised to us whether it is qualitative or mere change. It turned out to be a mere change and not qualitative change.”
