Adamu-Muazu-1

National Chairman of the Peoples Demo­cratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu has cautioned Nigerians against voting for the APC presi­dential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming general elec­tions.
The PDP national chairman in a statement expressed con­cern that Buhari’s presidency would throw Nigeria back to the dark days of military dicta­torship. According to Muazu, “There are many reasons why Nigeria must not return to a quasi military dictatorship led by a warlord whose democrat­ic credentials are suspect.
“It is also important to know that the power of the President is awesome and if you give it to a man who is not coolheaded leader like Presi­dent Jonathan, he will cer­tainly throw the country into chaos at any time.”
Mu’azu who extolled the qualities of President Jona­than, said the president, “is a tested and trusted democrat who is well experienced in running democratically elect­ed government having been elected as a deputy governor, governor, vice president and now president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”


The statement further read in part: “General Buhari is the product of military dictator­ship that cannot operate in a free country,” stating that he is unlike President Jonathan who at all times favours dia­logue and persuasion which are the hallmark of democratic governance.”
Mu’azu continued, “We don’t want a combative presi­dency, which would be busy witch-hunting perceived en­emies for trumped charges, then jail them for 200 years. If you read his acceptance speech you will note the lan­guage employed showed that direction his government will focus. The choice before Ni­gerians in 2015 is quite clear. Do you want a transforming leadership or a retrogressive return to a quasi-military dic­tatorship clad in democratic toga or do you want an en­vironment of human right abuses where people live in fear? Yet it is supposed to be democratic setting.”
“All the gains of the past years will be lost when auto­cratic regime that General Bu­hari is known for takes over power in Nigeria,” explaining that this is the choice Nigeri­ans will have to make in the February 2015 Presidential election.
Mu’azu who advised Ni­gerians to be careful before casting their votes said, “ what is needed is a giant leap into democratic governance and not the return of the ‘jack boot’ era of military in politics of the ‘kill and go’ era of the past.
