BY SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORK SEP 17, 2017
Former Kano State governor and disaffected member of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has described the “change”
mantra of his party as a ruse. In an audio recording exclusively obtained by
SaharaReporters, Mr. Kwankwaso said the APC is confused and has been lying to
Nigerians about bringing change to their living conditions.
“When Nigerians asked: ‘When are we going to see the change
we voted for?’ They were told to wait until after swearing-in ceremony. After
the swearing-in, they heard silence without change and they asked, when will
this change come. The answer was until they resume office and they subsequently
resumed office and nothing happened,” said Mr. Kwankwaso, who was an APC
presidential aspirant in 2015.
The former governor added that when the masses asked again
when to expect the change promised, they were told to wait until the
appointment of the Secretary to the Government of Federation (SGF).
“After three months, the SGF was appointed and the people asked
again: ‘Where is the change?’ The answer was they should wait for the change
after the appointment of Chief of Staff. The masses got worried and said,
please when will this change come? The answer was, until ministers are
appointed. After six months, they appointed ministers,” Mr. Kwankwaso said
mockingly.
Following the appointment of ministers, said Mr. Kwankwaso,
the APC promised that change would come when the budget was prepared and told
the masses to wait for the budget. And when they got the budget, he added,
Nigerians were told they would have the change after the National Assembly must
have gone through the budget.

President Buhari
“Suddenly, the National Assembly approved and the people
asked again: ‘Can see and feel the change?’ Their (APC) reply was until the
President signed the budget. After he signed, there was no change, we asked.
They said, the President’s ear is paining him and we should wait until he was
healed,” said the former presidential aspirant.
The masses, he said, were prepared to wait and rejoiced that
the President could hear well and had returned. Again, the APC did not deliver the change, shifting delivery
to when fuel subsidy was removed.
“They suddenly tripled oil price and they kept quiet and we
talked. They said we should be patient that change will come. While Nigerians
were waiting, they now came again that the President was sick. They said we
should wait, we waited and he came back from the first trip. They said we
should pray and when he returned, they celebrated and we all secretly prayed
for him, that Allah should heal him. When he returned they said we should give
him time to fully recover,” stated Mr. Kwankwaso.
He alleged that the APC started playing games, saying
doctors said the President should return to London, where he stayed for 103
days before returning.
“We said when will the change come, they said until they
drive away rats from his office. We are hoping, they will come and apologize
and say the change will come when I (Buhari) return in 2019,” Mr. Kwankwaso
stated.
