Poll: Jonathan must respect Nigerians’ wishes, says Buhari

The presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, has asked
President Goodluck Jonathan to
respect the wishes of Nigerians for
credible polls.
Buhari spoke while addressing Eze
Ndigbos of the 19 Northern states
and Abuja at his campaign office in
Abuja on Friday.
The APC candidate said he had
realised that multi-party
democracy remains the best form
of government since the collapse of
the Soviet Union.
According to him, ordinary folks did
not leave him alone to enjoy his
exit from power after he was
released from detention even
when they knew he was not rich.
Buhari said, “I was sitting at home
after leaving detention; I thought
people will leave me alone
because they know I am not rich. I
don’t even have a filling station not
to talk of oil blocks.
“So, I thought I lost their sympathy
but people kept on coming to me;
there was nothing I could do. And
then I speculated that maybe if I
join partisan politics, I will get into
a position to be heard.”
He, however, said democracy as the
best form of government would
only make meaningful impact
when the government respects the
rights of citizens to elect those who
govern them.
Buhari said, “Let the government
respect Nigerians as individuals to
choose those they want to
represent them and to lead them
and Nigerians will be surprised to
see how peaceful this country is
going to be.
“I think in a part of every human
being, there is an element of
rebellion. If you try to force a
human being to do what he doesn’t
like, he will develop a way of
resisting it but if you develop a
system; you persuade him to
accept the system, then justice
must be done and you will be
surprised how peacefully you will
live.”
He said the last 16 years of Peoples
Democratic Party rule had been a
disaster as public institutions
collapsed with the business
community the worst hit.
The APC candidate added, “Where
were we 16 years ago when PDP
took over this country? And where
are we now? How much was the
Naira then and how much is it now?
The Naira now is about N230 to one
US dollar and I think as a
community, you are hit the most in
Nigeria than anybody else.
“You are those that go out from
Singapore to China, all over the
world, you order things, you don’t
order in Naira, you order them in
Dollars or Pounds Sterling or Yen,
now you need trailers of Naira to
maintain your businesses.”
He, however, urged Nigerians to
vote out PDP for the APC to rebuild
the country.
In his remarks, National Chairman of
the APC, Chief John Oyegun, urged
Ndigbo not to put their eggs in one
basket as they had done with the
PDP in the last 16 years.
He asked them to ask themselves
what the South-East had benefitted
from the PDP in the last 16 years.

Let the election be free n fair,let nigerians decide.
