He also said that unless there is a free and fair election in 2015, those at the helm would leave disgracefully.
He spoke in Kaduna on Monday when CPC supporters from Niger State paid him a courtesy call.
According to him, “the magnitude of corruption and insensitivity on the part of Nigeria’s leadership was legendary but that there is awareness amongst the people. “God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way,” he said.
On whether he would contest in 2015 or not, he stated that the party should organise itself while he re-considered his position as to whether he would or not. “That was what I told those who visited me in the past but the press wrote that I said I have changed my mind about re-contesting.”
On the security challenge in the country, he said the North was not silent, as the region did not own police, soldiers or the Central Bank of Nigeria, adding that “since the leaders now don’t listen to anybody but does whatever they wish, there is nothing the North can do.”
He said “I will like to quote Professor Ango Abdullahi that said there are three Boko Harams, including the original one led by Muhammed Yusuf who was killed and his supporters tried to take revenge in attacking the law enforcement agencies and politicians. There is another developed Boko Haram of criminals who steal and kill, while the biggest Boko Haram is the Federal Government.”
On the petroleum probe, Buhari said the current leadership of the country had destroyed the petroleum industry, adding that “nowhere in the world can such things happening in the petroleum sector could happen and nowhere in the world can government increase the cost of petroleum product with more than 120 per cent. It is most insensitive. Beside the air people breath, the next important thing to them is petroleum products.
“I know more about petroleum industry than others in government because I was there for over three years as a leader. We started with Port-Harcourt refinery producing 60,000 barrels per day, it was upgraded to N100,000 barrels per day. Another one was built there also in Port-Harcourt producing over 150,000 barrels, making a total of 250,000 barrels per day slated purely on Nigeria crude.
“I personally asked the owner to sign the contract for Warri and Kaduna refineries, a 100,000 barrels each; more than 20 depots, more than 3,200 pipelines and there was even a time we were exporting 100,000 barrels per day of refined products, but this current leadership has destroyed the industry.”
