Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
given Nigerians more reasons they should not
vote the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
the coming general elections.
According to him, the party would plunge
Nigeria into civil and religious war because of
its hunger for power.
Fayose, in a statement issued on Friday in
Ado Ekiti blamed the APC for what he called a
“campaign of hate.”
He noted that the APC presidential flagbearer,
Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, is as an
“Islamist who is out to return power to the
northerners and implement Islamic agenda.”
Fayose added that this could spark crisis in
the Niger-Delta area of the country in the
South-South, where President Goodluck
Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party
hails from.
According to the statement, “The APC as a
party is saying that it will form parallel
government if Buhari loses, implying that the
party has admitted defeat and is ready to
throw the country into chaos.
“The APC people are already telling Nigerians
what will happen after the election if
President Jonathan wins.
“This campaign of hate from the APC has now
triggered a kind of reasoning in the mindset of
other stakeholders, especially the Niger-Delta
people, who see the Goodluck Jonathan
presidency as their turn, with the reality that,
if Buhari wins, there will be crisis in the Niger-
Delta, the area that produces the resources
with which Nigeria is sustained.
“If the Niger-Delta region erupts in crisis and
the Igbos in the South-East return to the old
antics and decide to secede, what happens to
the North that can only contribute between
three to five per cent to the economy of
Nigeria?
“Is it not a fact that Boko Haram is a
Northern insurgency that is linked to the
Northern elements, but now being used to
blackmail President Goodluck Jonathan? Will
it surprise anyone if the Niger-Delta people of
the South-South and the Igbos in the South-
East call the bluff of the North and secede?”
He said, “The reality is, if care is not taken,
the end of the election might be secession or
religious war, aside from the global economic
crisis, which is a cold war on its own.”
