The Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential Campaign
Team in the South West, Mr. Jide Adeniji, has said the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), does not possess the mental capability to rule Nigeria in the
21st century.
Adeniji said this at a press conference in Osogbo on Tuesday.
Adeniji, who is the Chairman of Federal Road Maintenance Agency, said
Buhari did nothing worthwhile when he staged a coup and unseat a
democratically elected government of former President Shehu Shagari in
1983.
According to him, while President Goodluck Jonathan has done so much,
including establishing federal universities in states where such did
not exist.
He said, “I respect Gen. Buhari; he is an elderly man, but Buhari
does not have the mental capability to rule Nigeria. Some people ruled
Nigeria and did not build anything, they did not do anything to uplift
the standard of education.
“No way, President (Goodluck) Jonathan won’t hand over power to an
S75 holder. His certificate is in doubt. Is that the kind of leader
Nigeria needs now? No.”
Adeniji said Yoruba people would not vote for Buhari because he did not love the people of the South West.
According to him, there was a time some Fulani cattle rearers and
some Yoruba people clashed at Shaki in Oyo State and lives were lost.
Adeniji claimed that Lam Adesina, the then governor of Oyo State, was
happy to see that Buhari was the leader of delegation from the North to
assess the situation but said the governor was socked when Buhari
allegedly said he came for only Fulani people and not for the affected
Yoruba people.
He said, “Such person is not fit to lead a country like Nigeria.”
The FERMA boss argued that the choice of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo(SAN), as
Buhari’s running mate, would not sway Yoruba people to vote for the APC
candidate.
