Senator Joseph Waku
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State,
Senator Joseph Waku, has described the former President, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, as a coward and confused person who has lost respect.
Waku said: “Obasanjo is the architect of our country’s mess
democratically. He is a coward and does not wish this country better. He
is a confused person and has lost respect among the people of this
country.”
In an interview with journalists in Kano on Tuesday, Waku added that
the quagmire that the country found itself resulted from the bad
leadership under President Goodluck Jonathan.
Waku said: “Obasanjo attempted to extend his tenure in 2007. But with
series of pressure mounted by Nigerians, he picked the ate Umaru Musa
Yar’Adua as his successor knowing fully that the late president was ill
and could rule the country perfectly.”
Commenting on the coming elections, Waku pointed out that “anybody who
attempts to do anything during the election, there will be crises.
Nigerians will not accept any attempt to force them to accept an
election result that is fake.”
He explained that the era of forcing people to accept the result of
election which is against their wishes is over, assuring that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) would wrestle power from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) as Nigerians are yearning for change under
General Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “I want to repeat myself that if the government in power loses
election but forces itself in power, there will be a civil war in the
country.”
Waku advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be
fair in conducting the general election, stressing that “Nigerians will
resist any attempt to rig election. I hope the electoral body (INEC)
will not allow itself to be use o rig elections.”
