Silas Zwingina, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
candidate for Adamawa South Senatorial District has revealed why the
presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari must be stopped.
Zwingina, who spoke in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, on Tuesday
said Buhari, plans to send public office holders to jail if he emerges
president in March 28 presidential poll, Sahara Reporters said.
The senatorial candidate therefore, urged his party members to work hard to ensure that the former head of state fails in his bid to become the country’s president.
“We have to stop Buhari and his plan to build more prisons to jail politicians. You know Buhari, he will send us to jail for between 200 to 300 years and it is the lucky ones among us that will get 50 years. As you know, there is no way you will hold office in Nigeria and go scot free if the authorities want to get you. Buhari is determined to send people to jail and even APC governors are not comfortable with him and that’s why many of them are not following his campaign team,” Zwingina said.
The PDP chieftain insisted that his party’s candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan is better than Buhari and needs to be returned to office in order for him to continue his transformation agenda.
“Let me tell you, that Jonathan is 1,000 times better than Buhari and that’s why people resolved to vote for our candidate, President Jonathan,” he said.
Zwingina also urged the people of Adamawa State to vote for the PDP governorship candidate, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu as well as all other PDP candidates in the state.
Speaking also, Mr. Ribadu urged the people to be united in order for the ruling party to succeed in the state and the forthcoming elections
“If you vote me, I promise you that I will not betray you. I met just recently with Mr. President and he showed concern over the level of underdevelopment in Adamawa with the promise that Adamawa is among the states he will accord priority in terms of federal projects. In 2011 election, we gave the president 65 per cent and I promised him that this time around we will give him 80 per cent,” Ribadu said.
Recall that Zwingina, who has remained one of the most prominent politician from Adamawa State, in an interview shares his views on recent political developments in Nigeria, discussing, among other things, the discord between President Jonathan and a number of Northern leaders.
Meanwhile, Buhari had during one of his campaign rallies promised Nigerians that he will send all corrupt politicians to jail when elected President in March presidential election.
