Few days ago Iran’s Secretary of Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei registered his candidacy for the upcoming presidential elections,
I will find the missing oil money and return it to you, the people of Iran. I do not seek revenge, but I will not shut my eyes to what happens to public funds,” Rezaei told an audience at the Shahid Chamran university in the southern city of Ahvaz in Khuzestan.
This is actually exactly what Ahmadinejad said on his campaign four years ago. Just to let you know that Ahmadinejad announced few days ago that most of the cases has been investigated and will be announced if he win the election again.
I just wonder why who ever wants to become President in Iran claimes that he would do the Justice ministry’s job instead of running the country.
“Many cases of financial fraud can be traced back to the country’s disorderly bureaucratic structure, which I intend to modify with special measures and electronic systems,” added Rezaei, who is himself from Khuzestan.
He was referring to the mystery surrounding a $1 billion shortfall in the country’s oil revenues.
I should say here that he already has the power to investigate the matter or bringing the case up as the Secretary of Expediency Council but he prefers to become the President of the country and get paid enough to do so!!
He also commented on President Ahmadinejad on his Press conference:
“The truth is that our nation has two very different paths at hand. If President Ahmadinejad gets his way, we will fall off the cliff … we will be defeated,”
A former commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Rezaei ran in the 2005 presidential election but pulled out of the race a day before the vote which saw President Ahmadinejad sweeping to victory with nearly 62 percent of the ballot.
“Ahmadinejad could only be a sheriff or mayor and nothing more” he announced when he was asked if he would be using Ahmadinejad in any post.
Registering Rezaee as a candidate is again a strategy to split the vote against Ahmadinejad a tactic that worked against reformers on the last election. Though he claimes that he is an independent candidate but his candidacy was welcomed by some of the Revolutionary Guards Corps.
