Governor
Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, who recently came under fire for paying
for adverts published in some national dailies, which warned Nigerians
not to vote for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), whom he said was closer
to his grave, has launched another attack on the All Progressives
Congress presidential candidate over the recent stoning of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy in Katsina State.
Fayose warned that the ruling party would “no longer tolerate any
orchestrated attack on President Jonathan and supporters of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) anywhere in the country”.
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said President Jonathan’s
humility and silence must not be taken for granted.
“Buhari should not allow desperation for power to lead him into
throwing the north into another orgy of electoral violence as he did
when he lost the 2011 presidential election”, he said.
According to Olayinka, “the orchestrated attacks on the campaign
train of the president in Katsina and Bauchi States have shown that APC
is not a party of peace and we are warning strongly that they must not
put Nigeria on the spot”.
“Most importantly, Buhari and his APC should tell us in plain
language if what they want is to dismember this country, because nobody
has monopoly of violence. They must stop taking the gentility and
civility of President Jonathan as weakness because an attack on the
President of a nation is an attack on the country and Buhari should know
that he will never be President of Nigeria by intimidation and
blood-letting”, he concluded.
