Former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has said that presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) has no known history of promoting the rule of Law.
He also alleged that the All Progressives Congress is setting the stage to rig elections in the North.
Obanikoro who stated this in an interview with journalists in Lagos said “I have no doubt in my mind that the President will win. It is going to be a close election, but I have no doubt in my mind that at the end, the President will carry the day.
“However, from the distribution and collection of PVCs, it is clear that the APC wants to rig in the North. How do you explain states like Borno and Yobe with the dislocation of insurgency recording 80 per cent collection?
“APC is setting the stage to write election results. I am more convinced about this because their candidate is not a known democrat, so he doesn’t mind doing or condoning whatever it takes to win. He has no history of promoting the rule of law.”
He also commended the peace accord signed by President Goodluck Jonathan and General Mohammadu Buhari, he said “I am happy about the peace accord signed by Buhari. Let’s not forget that it is his silence that escalated the violence we are witnessing today. After his loss in 2011, his followers went on rampage and he kept quiet.
“This degenerated into the activities of Boko Haram. Prior to that, the activities of Boko Haram were not as deadly as they became after the 2011 elections.”
