With less than four weeks to the general elections, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on Saturday alleged that Nigeria’s past leaders, especially the retired Generals, have ganged up against the second term ambition of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Oshiomhole said: “The future of Nigeria is in the hands of very few.”
He said at the Minna Trade Fair Ground, venue of the presidential campaign of the APC, that the future of the country is in the hands of Nigeria’s voters who must protect their votes during the elections.
According to him: “The Generals, especially past leaders, have ganged up and reached a conclusion that President Buhari should not continue.
“When he (apparently referring to General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida) ruled more than eight years, and when he (referring to Olusegun Obasanjo) ruled for more than eight years, they do not want Buhari to complete his tenure.
“The future of Nigeria is in the hands of very few Nigerians, especially the Generals.
“Why do they believe Nigeria belongs to them?
“Let us not forget that Buhari was removed after spending less than three years and was put in prison for three years because he was fighting corruption.”
Oshiomhole further urged Nigerians to be very vigilant during the elections by monitoring their votes.
The APC national Chairman also accused the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, of squandering public funds adding: “During President Olusegun Obasanjo’s era where Atiku was his Vice, they took the sum of $16 billion from the country’s account meant for power projects and shared it amongst private individuals.”
Furthermore, he said: “if Atiku had seen the mammoth crowd in Kaduna and Bauchi States that welcomed us, he would prefer to remain in the United States of America.”
In his speech, President Buhari said he will complete all road projects in Niger State.
He said: “I promise that I will continue to take care of you and I pray that God gives us rain for better farming this year.
“But make sure you vote for the APC from top to bottom.”
The Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, while speaking at the poorly attended campaign in Minna, the capital of Niger State, called on the people of the state to cast their votes for the APC, adding: “President Muhammadu Buhari has performed well to deserve a second term.”
