Alhaji
Balarabe Musa, a former Governor of old Kaduna State and National Chairman of
the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has said that even if President Muhammadu
Buhari rigged 2019 elections, he will still lose because not only the
opposition, even his supporters have lost confidence in him.

"As
the president, Buhari has the means of transforming everything but obviously,
it is quite clear that Buhari's popularity before 2015 elections and now have
gone down drastically ," Balarabe said.
He said,
"If he (Buhari) thinks he is still popular as he was before winning the
last presidential election, then he must be deceiving himself. He has betrayed
those who voted for him by abandoning his promises and instead, inflicting
pains on the masses. Since he took over as president, the country has suffered
from one hardship to another.
"In
one of my recent interviews, I made it clear that unless this government focus
on its primary responsibility which is the welfare of the people, Nigerians may
soon be forced to rise against his government should things continue the way
they are.
"I
don't know if the President intends to continue beyond 2019, but with the
current state of affairs in the country, Buhari certainly should not expect the
masses who managed to survive to 2019, to still go to the polls and vote for
him. I don't think that will happen even if the APC rigs the election.
"The
President should not allow himself be deceived by those around him. He should
listen to Nigerians and do all within his power to alleviate the sufferings of
the masses," he said.
