President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection bid will end in humiliation for him, says the Action Peoples Party (APP).
The newly unveiled party through its chairman, advised the incumbent president to just allow this tenure end and return to Daura with his respect and honour intact instead of seeking reelection, because he believes the President will be voted out like Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the APP chairman noted that Nigeria has never been more divided than under the administration of President Buhari, not even during the dark days of the civil war.
According to him: “Set aside your right to run again, Mr. President, while Nigerians endure the remainder of your tenure till it comes to an end so you can retire with the last vestiges of respect and honour you may have. Support the emergence of a new generation of young leaders with age and experience on their side.
“But where you decide against the wishes of the Nigerian people and put yourself forward, you stand the electoral risk of being humiliated at the polls and any attempt by your party to manipulate the electoral process and foist you in 2019 shall be resisted within the ambit of the law.
“The President and his APC have exhibited a total lack of capacity and knowledge to protect the lives of Nigerians in basically every state of the federation.
“Our country is filled with rivers of blood flowing into the Atlantic ocean, yet our government is not taking any action. In just less than three months of 2018 alone, there have been mass loss of lives in thirty-four of the thirty-six states and no one person has been brought to book.” Global Village Extra
