2019 presidency: Buhari reveals how he will destroy cabals if he wins election

Ahmed Buhari, the initiator of Ahmed Buhari Youth Movement, has said
that he will kill 'cabalism' if he wins the 2019 presidential
elections.

Buhari, who was speaking with journalists on Sunday in Ilorin, also
explained that his interest in vying for the office of the president
of Nigeria was informed by the need to have a generational change in
the leadership of the country.

The geologist by training, noted that the youth had lost hope in the
current system of governance which had created a wide gulf between the
young and old generation.

"Most importantly, our involvement is going to be an enlightenment to
young people that it is true that we can do something.

"To let them know that the reason we are doing this is because we
understand that if we do not allow responsibility to be transferred
from one generation to next generation at the right time, a vacuum
will be created.

"If this vacuum is created, a lot can go into that vacuum. It could be
herdsmen; it could be Boko Haram; it could be kidnapping; it could be
baby factory; it could be armed robbery, it could be a lot of things.

"It is because these young people do not feel any need for them to be
looking up for something that hope is lost and so we are trying to
revamp young people to understand that they have to participate in
politics.

"While they participate in politics, they shouldn't make money
politics a front burner for them. They should be more concerned about
how they will even support aspirants so that when they get to the
office, those aspirants will be answerable to them.

"This will kill totally the whole idea of cabalism and see how we can
have aspirants who will emerge and become answerable to those people
who elected them because if you do support an aspirant, he is going to
come back to you and support you, not by giving you the money you gave
him, but by giving you the best of democracy.

"What we mean is that we want to have a country that would be formed
on a united ground.

"United ground in the sense that no matter where you come from,
regardless of your ethnicity; regardless of your religion; regardless
of your social status; regardless of your political party; ideological
affiliations; regardless of gender; regardless of your age; you will
want to be part of a new Nigeria.

"The new Nigeria that we are looking for is new Nigeria that every one
of us would claim without mentioning where we are from.

"We want a new Nigeria where there won't be a discussion on state of
origin, quota system and all of those things that always tend to
divide us will be eradicated," he said.
