National
coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams,
weekend, slammed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as an enemy of
democracy.Adams
reminded Nigerians, while addressing newsmen in Lagos, that Buhari has
never been a lover of democracy, having toppled a democratically elected
government in 1983, and vehemently opposed the National Conference
convergence, a platform to discuss the socio-political and economic
future of the country.He said if the retired general had not interrupted the country’s democracy, it would have thrived well today.“General
Buhari is not the right leader Nigerians should vote for at this time
because he never believed in the National Conference and all the tenets
of democracy,” Adams said.He
described President Jonathan as the right choice for the country,
citing the convergence of the National Conference as a veritable pointer
for his argument.
“President
Goodluck Jonathan is a man of integrity who will never lie to
Nigerians. He had said it in several fora that he will implement all the
recommendations of the national conference which we believe is the best
thing that has happened to Nigeria in a long while and that’s why the
Oodua Peoples Congress is throwing its full weight behind his second
term ambition.
“Yoruba
leaders met and agreed that we will only support the full
implementation of the national conference and he has agreed to that,
meaning, we think alike,” Adams said. (Information Nigeria)
