OPPOSITION leader and former Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has traced the political crisis in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the leadership style of President Goodluck Jonathan and the Party’s National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, while warning them against the harmful consequences of their political actions on the nation’s polity.
  Musa said that unpopular political decisions and actions of the two leaders were gradually threatening the polity and pointing danger signals to the conduct of the 2015 general elections.
  The former governor who spoke with journalists after the Keep-fit exercise to mark the Vice President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Issa Aremu’s 53rd birthday celebration in Kaduna said that “now, PDP throughout the country has no future, and we hope that God will help us to ensure peace”.
  According to him, “the relevance of the ongoing decamping to other political party from the PDP is because of the doubt people have that if they continue with PDP under Bamanga Tukur and Jonathan and replace it with another PDP, it will not make any difference”.

  However, he said that “but I prefer to have another PDP rather than to have a continuation of Jonathan/Bamanga PDP because Jonathan’s PDP has made visible change impossible”, saying that the prayers of most Nigerians “ is, let anything bring about exit of PDP under Jonathan/Bamanga in 2015, even if it is worse than PDP under this two because PDP under Jonathan/Bamanga has become so impossible to change the situation we are presently facing in the country today”.
  Besides, Musa blamed the poor economic and political situation in the country to the poor leadership style in Nigeria, adding that “with the continuation of this corrupt system, we can never achieve peace, we can never achieve progress”.
  He argued: “Our history has even proved it because during the colonial period, the First Republic; as bad as the colonial time was, as inexperienced as the First Republic was, the two were based on public interest first, and self interest came second.
  “As a result, we recorded commendable progress during the First Republic, virtually all the mega structures of the states were created during the First Republic. But during the Second Republic, the whole things changed. Jonathan is a product of a mess today, he is a product of bad system and leadership, I find it very difficult to describe him, and he will end up just like his predecessors”.
