Presidential
candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, in the 2011
elections, General Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday, declared that the party
is completely opposed to the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal
Government.
He made the disclosure just as the
governorship candidate of the CPC in Adamawa State; General Mohammed
Buba Marwa told election riggers planning to rig Adamawa State
governorship election to think twice because they will meet their
waterloo.
“I am General Buba Marwa of the Lagos
fame, I am not stupid. Those riggers will meet their waterloo in
Adamawa. They can come but I will surprise them,” Marwa reacted to
possible rigging by the opposition.
Speaking in Yola at the flag-off
campaign of General Marwa, Buhari challenged Nigerians to rise up and
speak with one voice to ensure that the planned removal of fuel subsidy
is not actualized, Buhari also alleged that the menace of Boko Haram
presently ravaging the country is caused by bad leadership on the part
of the PDP-led administration.
According to him, “Nigerians are being
deceived on the issue of fuel subsidy. The federal government takes out
fuel for refining, only to come back and talk of removing the subsidy.
That is nonsense and an attempt by a clique with the PDP led federal
government to siphon the proceeds to be realized from the removal of oil
subsidy.”
Describing Marwa as a God-sent leader
that will turn the lives of Adamawa people around for the better,
General Buhari said, “Marwa has done it in other places like Lagos and
Borno, comprising two states, So nobody should be in doubt about what he
will do in his own state.”
“If Marwa says he will provide free
education, I believe him, If Marwa says he will provide free health
care, I believe him. If he says he would provide security for lives and
property, I believe him and if he says he will bring change, I believe
him because he has done it before, So give him your support because he
is a good man,” Buhari said.
