Obasanjo�s Government is a Fraud: Balarabe Musa says Spectre of Illigitimacy Hangs
over Obasanjo
Second Republic Governor of Kaduna State
Balarabe Musa has re-painted a sad picture of the state of the nation, describing the administration of President
Olusegun Obasanjo as a fraud and lacking in legitimacy. He also accused him of usurping political power to the
detriment of hapless Nigerians. Musa, Chairman of the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), alleged that
the fraudulent practices associated with last year�s general elections should not be allowed to pass, adding that
in every election, disputes are always settled before the swearing in of the President. "�For the first time
we have got this serious and lack of legitimacy, and we should not allow it to pass,� he stated. He stressed in
an interview at his Kaduna residence that if the electorate allow Obasanjo to go on without a concrete challenge,
the forces responsible for the annulment of June 12, 1993 Presidential elections would again bare their fangs.
Said he: �And then of course Nigerians will be turned into slaves, and Nigerians are not slaves; they can�t be
slaves and they cannot be different from the rest of the world. Throughout the history of mankind, slaves have
risen against their masters and freed themselves. So I don�t think now in Nigeria we should continue to compromise
principles. "The forces of reaction are so powerful that each time you make compromise for the sake of peace,
stability and the continued existence of the country they take it as a sign of weakness and they continue perpetuating
themselves. This has to stop�. (Daily
