, stressing that the former military leader will bring back dictatorship in the country.
He expressed fears in a statement that a Buhari presidency would throw Nigeria back to the dark days of military dictatorship. Read excerpts from his statement below :
"There are many reasons why Nigeria must not return to a quasi military dictatorship led by a warlord whose democratic credentials are suspect.It is also important to know that the power of the President is awesome and if you give it to a man who is not coolheaded leader like President Jonathan, he will certainly throw the country into chaos at any time.”
"President Jonathan is a tested and trusted democrat who is well experienced in running democratically elected government having been elected as a deputy governor, governor, vice president and now president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The statement further reads in part: “General Buhari is the product of military dictatorship that cannot operate in a free country,” stating that he is unlike President Jonathan who at all times favours dialogue and persuasion which are the hallmark of democratic governance.
“We don’t want a combative presidency, which would be busy witch-hunting perceived enemies for trumped charges, then jail them for 200 years. If you read his acceptance speech you will note the language employed showed that direction his government will focus. The choice before Nigerians in 2015 is quite clear. Do you want a transforming leadership or a retrogressive return to a quasi-military dictatorship clad in democratic toga or do you want an environment of human right abuses where people live in fear? Yet it is supposed to be democratic setting.
“All the gains of the past years will be lost when autocratic regime that General Buhari is known for takes over power in Nigeria,” explaining that this is the choice Nigerians will have to make in the February 2015 Presidential election."
