As the country’s general elections draw nearer,
Buhari Support Organisation, the umbrella body of all voluntary groups
working for the victory of the presidential candidate of the All
Progressive Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has issued fresh
warning to the presidency.
The organization’s Director of Media, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe, while
addressing a media conference on Wednesday in Abuja, warned against any
attempt to change the leadership of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), The Nation reports.
He said any attempt to tamper with the leadership of the INEC will amount to tampering with the credibility of the forthcoming elections and the independence of the commission.
The Buhari Support Organisation also warned on plots by President Goodluck Jonathan and his supporters to bring back the inglorious days of the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) by using the court to scuttle the elections.
Speaking further, Maduekwe, noted that the present campaign against INEC by paid commentators and supporters of President Jonathan was aimed at interfering with the conduct of the polls which might take the nation back to the days of June 12 when the election of late Chief M.K.O Abiola was annulled.
The group also alerted Nigerians on a possible legal plan to truncate the elections, pointing out that part of the propaganda will be to force the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to resign or be forced to proceed on terminal leave and be replaced by another northern Muslim professor who will carry out the directives of the incumbent government and its associates.
Maduekwe, who accused Mr. Jonathan and his supporters of breaking the Abuja Peace Pact, said President Jonathan and his agents do not have the monopoly of fragrant breaches of the accord.
“It has become imperative to ask Mr. President to rein in his aides if he must be seen to walk his talk that, his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian. His aides and associates are working at cross purposes to this his favorite cliché by daily fanning the ambers of hate, pursuance of death wish and even going as far as stalking of General Muhammadu Buhari outside shores of this country. The memories of a nearly successful assassination attempt on the life of GMB are still fresh in our minds. Our patience, our meekness, our prayerfulness and our patriotic commitment to maintaining the national peace should not be misconstrued for weakness.
“Let it be stated clearly that Mr. President’s aides and political associates do not possess the monopoly for flagrant breaches to the Abuja Peace Accord. The hour has come to henceforth disallow these psychopathic sociopaths that have taken over the megaphone of Mr. President and tell them in very clear terms that enough is enough. We are ready to rise to the occasion to take down any unwarranted, baseless and inflammatory condemnation shot in our direction henceforth,” he said.
It would be recalled that the APC earlier today alleged that its under going financial difficulties due to the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections.
Meanwhile, as part of reaction the consistent attacks from Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, expressed his assurance that Buhari, is in better health than President Jonathan.
