President Goodluck Jonathan
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation has
called on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, to call his supporters to order and
ensure a violence-free election.
Director of Media and Publicity of the organisation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, made the call in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja
against the backdrop of the violence, arson and destruction unleashed on
President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign buses at Zololo Junction along
Bauchi road in Jos North North Local Government Area of Plateau State on
Saturday.
Fani-Kayode warned General Buhari and the APC not to prepare the ground
for the re-enactment of the post-election violence of 2011.
According to him, “It is on record that General Buhari’s utterances
since 2011 have fuelled violence especially the post-election violence
in parts of the north which claimed the lives of many youth corps
members who were deployed as ad-hoc staff members for that year’s
election. It is sad that up till now General Buhari has refused to
apologize to the Nigerian people for that barbaric and shamefulincident
or show any remorse for the actions of his supporters. He could not even
bring himself to tender an apology to the families of those young corps
members that were hacked to death and murdered in cold blood by his
agents.
“As if that was not enough tragedy unleashed on the polity, General
Buhari recently said that the 'baboon and the dog would be soaked in
blood if what happened in 2011 repeat itself in 2015."
