According to a news that was published by The Nigerian Tribune Newspaper Online this morning, it was reported that the former Minister of State for FCT and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Chief Jumoke Akinjide, during an interview with Tribune’s correspondent, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, not to hold on to power in case another party wins the forthcoming presidential election.
During the interview, she was told that some people are afraid that the All Progressives Congress, may not relinquish power if another party should, as she was asked if she also feels the same way.
While she was reacting, she said she doesn’t have that fear at all and she thinks that President Buhari, has got the message loud and clear from Nigerians and from the international community that the only legacy he can leave after eight years and which will be undisputed, is to do a clean, free, fair election and commit to peaceful transfer of power like he enjoyed in 2015.
Further talking, she said, “When Jonathan lost the election, even though there were issues and strong suspicion that things did not go well in the election and there was over voting, voting by minors and ballot stuffing, Jonathan said his ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian and he told the party not to take Buhari to the tribunal.”
