According to Punch newspaper reports, former Head of State and the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in the April 2011 elections, Major-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), in Kaduna on Saturday warned that there would be revolution in Nigeria if the ruling Peoples Democratic Party failed to address the social injustice ravaging the country.
Buhari said the revolution could come in one form or the other, saying that he hoped that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party which never believed in social justice could handle the attendant consequences.
The former military ruler who spoke as a special guest at the empowerment programme of a CPC member representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency, Usman Bawa, urged all elected officers on the platform of the party to emulate the lawmaker.
He said he was sure the last election was rigged in favour of the ruling party, adding that the leadership of the ruling party never prepared for real democracy in the country.
Said Buhari, “We know that we have been rigged out in the last election. Nothing can happen unless there is justice. The question of the Peoples Democratic Party and its leadership is that they don’t accept social justice. If there is no social justice in the country, in a question of time, there will be revolution in one form or the other.”
