Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Prof Rufai Ahmed Alkali
* Says: it is the desperation of the opposition
The Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Prof Rufai Ahmed Alkali, has condemned the burning of some campaign vehicles of President Goodluck Jonathan in Jos at the weekend by suspected supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Alkali said in a statement in Abuja that the burning of the vehicles has further demonstrated the level of desperation of the opposition and their plot to intimidate other Nigerians out of the political space.
He declared that the incident will not deter the determination of President Jonathan to ensure free and fair elections are conducted nationwide next month.
Alkali said: “We have observed a dangerous trend of politically motivated violence unleashed on innocent Nigerians by supporters of those who have shown desperation to assume political power at all costs.
“While we are not surprised by acts of desperation already shown by these people who have no articulate agenda for nation building, we are amazed at how quickly they are willing to manifest their evil intentions on our dear country.“
