Former Head of State and presidential candidate of the CPC in the 2011 general elections, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday declared that President Goodluck Jonathan is incompetent to prosecute pension and oil subsidy fraud suspects.
Buhari decried the manner in which the Federal Government’s is "playing" with persons indicted in the pension and oil subsidy scandals as well as other frauds.
He said many of the retirees who worked for 35 years were sent to their early grave while trying to collect their benefits and entitlements stolen by government officials.
The former Head of State stated this at his residence in Kaduna while playing host to CPC candidate for the October 20, governorship election in Ondo State, Prince Soji Ehinlanwo and other party officials.
His words: “It is only in Nigeria that fraud of this magnitude takes place and this incompetent government is doing nothing about it.”
Buhari further described some South-South leaders as jokers for endorsing Jonathan. “I know they are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), let them vote for him in a free and fair election; let us see if they can give him the ticket against other geo-political zones. Let them give him the primary ticket first, let them vote for him when 2015 comes and let us see if he would win,”
He challenged the political elite in the country to participate and ensure that elections are conducted free and fair, without rigging.
