THE Director-General of Governor Ibrahim Gaidam Campaign Organisation (GIGCO) in Yobe State, Alhaji Yakubu Sidi Karasuwa, has said that the desires of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), to run affairs of the nation were not to enrich him.

  Karasuwa, who is the APC candidate for Nguru/Machina/Yusufari/Karasuwa Federal Constituency in Yobe State, said there was no retired General in the military that is living a low profile life like the 72-year-old former Head of State.

  His words: “When you look around and see the low profile life that Gen. Buhari maintains, none of his contemporaries in the army is living that kind of life. Don’t forget, this man was a head of state of this country under a military regime with all the opportunities to loot the treasury but he never did.

  “In my concerned opinion, Gen. Buhari is out for a rescue mission for this country. His determination to rule this country is to correct all the wrongs that have engulf our country and not any petty reason of making money out of position of the President.”

  He told The Guardian in Damaturu that the “desperate measures” being devised by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to shift the elections “is a further demonstration of the huge failure of Jonathan’s government. I am surprised that an incumbent government is jittery.”
