Fayose attacks Buhari again, warns him over attacks on Jonathan

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has once again launched another attack on the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, over the recent attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign convoy in northern part of the country.

Fayose warned that the PDP would “no longer tolerate any orchestrated attack on President Jonathan and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) anywhere in the country”.

This is coming barely five days after the governor in a controversial advert warned Nigerians not to vote for Buhari whom he said was closer to his grave.

Governor Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, who spoke on his behalf, 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 Fayose, “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.
