A former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu has said that there
will be trouble if the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressive
Congress, APC, rigs the forthcoming elections.
Speaking in Dutse, Jigawa State capital, Aliyu said Nigerians and the
international community were anticipating an excellent election devoid
of rigging.
The former governor said Nigerians are now wiser because of the
evolution of new media, ”hence, rigging will be a difficult task”.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain also called out
President Muhammadu Buhari over recent allegations that his family
allegedly owned shares in Keystone Bank and 9Mobile saying ”modern
technology would reveal if this is true”
He insisted that PDP government performed better than the current APC government while in office.
“In every change of government, the newcomers will tell you that the
previous administration didn’t perform well, the idea was to castigate,
justify so as to legitimize.
”PDP for 16 years established the foundation for the development of this country,” he said.
He said the APC administration has taken Nigeria back to the “preliminary level of 1984-85s where things started deteriorating”.
“PDP is more familiar with the pattern, understand the democracy,
constitution and the people of Nigeria. Nigerians now have an
opportunity to compare and contrast between political parties that have
served the people,” Aliyu said
