2019: Despite His Failures, Buhari Remains Nigeria’s Best Option – Balarabe Musa
Balarabe Musa, former Kaduna State Governor, has observed that President Muhammadu Buhari remains the best option for Nigeria despite failing to live up to his campaign promises.
The former Kaduna State governor said there is currently no “qualitative and relevant alternative” to President Buhari and that this could lead to his victory, if he opts to seek re-election in 2019.
Speaking with Punch, Musa said, “The performance of President Muhammadu Buhari since he came on board in 2015 has fallen short of the expectations of Nigerians.
“In other words, he has been unable to fulfil promises he made before he got the votes of Nigerians. I can reasonably say without fear that his government has failed.
“Nothing stops him (Buhari) from contesting. After all, every elected public office holder in Nigeria has the right to seek a second term.
“I won’t bother myself too much thinking about that because if today Buhari decides he won’t run for a second term, do you have a better person now in Nigeria who can perform better than Buhari?
“Up to the end of the Second Republic, when (the late Chief Obafemi) Awolowo, Zik (the late Nnamdi Azikiwe), Aminu Kano and so on were there, you could say ‘if not Awolowo, Zik is competent’ and so on. There was, at that time, a clear alternative available for Nigerians; whether you liked it or not, it was a distinctive alternative.
“But today, where is the alternative? We are now in a situation where there is no alternative or it is difficult for the alternative to emerge because this is politics and election in which ‘money power’ plays a leading role.
“So, it is not possible to find a qualitative and relevant alternative to Buhari at the moment.”

You can see how far Muslims can go to support their own no matter bad that person is. Imagine Balarabe Musa who has been one of the top most critics of Buhari govt is now saying that Buahri is now the best option? This is aftermath of Northern Christians petitions to different world organizations to persuade Buhari step down come 2019 or help stop him from getting the seat come 2019 because of nepotic, tribal and his jihadist program going in Nigeria.
So it means every muslim supports Buhari’s instinct of oppressing and killing of non-muslims? Does it mean every fulani no matter how clean he or she appears supports Buhari and Fulaniherdsmen’s killing and dispossession of lands from other tribes? So he is feeling threatened now because his brother and a jihadist muslim in power is being requested to be removed for his devilish governance?
I thought Balarabe Musa is different, last week I read an article where he was calling for an Igbo President come 2019, which means all that was still their usual age long deceit games on Igbos. Sorry for gullible Igbo politicians like Okoroawusa, Orji Uzo kalu, Ogbonnaya Onu, Devl Umahi, Nnia Nwodo etc.
Until tribal and religious bigotry is completely eradicated from land, nigeria will never move forward.
Land full of deception, hypocrisy, hatred, wickedness and forms of evil and vices is nigeria

How can a failed man in governance according to you be our best option? I hope you have not join the youths in taking substances. If you are saying that the north has only dead brains and incompetent people, who told you we don’t have educated and competent people in the south and middle belt?
