Atiku Abubakar, the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says President Muhammadu
Buhari is preaching violence in Nigeria, adding that “this is not his first
time” of doing so.
Speaking in Port Harcourt on
Monday, Atiku said Buhari was in Zamfara over the weekend, preaching violence
in the northwestern state.
“Do you know what the president
said yesterday in Zamfara when he went there? He said Zamfara people, let us
pray for rainfall, let us pray we grow food, let us pray we eat bellefull, and
then we can make trouble,” Atiku said.
“Is that what a president should
say? Buhari, I am addressing you. This is a president who is preaching
violence, and this is not the first time he has done so in this country.
“We are not going to allow any
person to knock our heads and make us fight; we want peace, we want prosperity,
we want development, we want jobs — that is what we want for this country.
“We are not ready to fight each
other again; so any leader who has come to instigate us to fight against each
other, we will use our ballot papers to throw him out. So Buhari must go,
Buhari must go, Buhari must go — I love you all, I swear to God”.
Atiku said he will protect the
constitution, and not interfere in the dealings of the national assembly and
the judiciary, because he believes in checks and balances.
