The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) on Thursday warned President Muhammadu Buhari’s “blood relatives” working
in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against doing anything
that will “pitch them against” Nigerians during the 2019 general elections.
PDP gave this warning while
declaring that Nigerians want a change of President in 2019.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson,
Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP insisted that Nigerians have noted and accepted Buhari’s
declaration that “Nigerians should vote for candidates of their choice, come
2019”.
Ologbondiyan said Buhari made the
“important declaration after his thorough assessment of his diminished
popularity among Nigerians due to his poor performance in the last three
years.”
The statement reads, “Though
Nigerians, on their own, have since reached a consensus not to support
President Buhari’s re-election bid in 2019, it is good that President Buhari,
by himself, admitted this fact, hence this declaration.
“President Buhari has seen the
flow of our nation’s political tides and the PDP urges him to show
statesmanship by reining-in his cronies to shed their desperation and lust for
power, which will, in any case, be firmly resisted by Nigerians.
“The PDP also charges the All
Progressives Congress (APC), the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), particularly the blood relatives of President Buhari in INEC, as well
as security agencies to note the determination of Nigerians; their desire for
another President, come 2019 and as such desist from any act that will pitch
them against the people.
“It is imperative to note that
the APC is already stuck with an unpopular candidate and PDP remains open as
the only credible democratic platform for all Nigerians across board to rally
and produce that truly Nigerian President of their choice.
“The PDP therefore urges all democrats, in all
political formations and alignments across the country to come together on the
repositioned PDP to actualize the wishes and aspirations of Nigerians for a
president that genuinely cares and truly have the capacity and competence to
restore our nation to the path of good governance, peace, national cohesion,
equity and economic prosperity.”
