A socio-cultural group, Yoruba
Ronu Leadership Forum, says Tuesday’s defection of some national assembly
members from the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not affect President
Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.
Akin Malaolu, secretary-general
of the group, made this known on Tuesday in a statement he signed in Abuja.
According to Malaolu, some
political elements are making futile efforts to pressurise democracy.
The group said: “We are not sad
over the political troubles which some reactionary political elements are
putting Nigeria’s democracy into gloomy forebodings on account of war against
corruption.
“They are not capable nor with
the capacity to turn the table against APC in the 2019 elections.
“We hold on to these views mainly
because Buhari was and still is the tree trunk that others leaned on to get
into their seats at the national assembly.
“Such characters’ decision to
cross carpet, though unlawful, will not carry them far and given time they
shall all become sober and remorseful soon.
“Yoruba Ronu expected APC
defectors’ constituencies to ask qualified questions for which they must
provide their people with good answers.
“The people of Nigeria today, now
know their enemies to include looters and purveyors of irrational consolations
that dotted our landscape.
“This clearly has drawn a line
between evil and good, which shall herald us into a better and greater Nigeria
of our dreams.
“One good thing that has stood
for Buhari and his government is the respect for law and order with honesty to
right the wrongs done to the helpless and hapless masses.”
Yoruba Ronu cautioned the senate
and house of representatives against any attempt to impeach Buhari.
“We must, however, warn against
forceful impeachment of the President, the consequences may be amazing in every
nooks and crannies of the country,” the group said.
“Anyone or group that pushes 20
million people into general resentments caused by religious divisions and to
the ethnic may not survive it, that is not our wish for Nigeria.”
He said itself and Yoruba nation
stood solidly behind APC despite unfair judgements on the government by
reactionary forces.
