President Muhammadu Buhari chats with Fayemi during APC’s mega rally in Ekiti state on Tuesday
Col Tony Nyiam (rtd) has charged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to dump President Muhammadu Buhari as its candidate for the 2019 Presidential election.
He told the Sun that killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen will continue and escalate further if Buhari returns in 2019.
Nyiam said: “The danger that lies ahead is that if Buhari gets a second term, Nigerians should know that the bad omen, the killings of innocent farmers, and natural disaster in which lives are lost in hundreds under President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch will continue.
“One of the first steps that is imperative is that APC as a party must have the courage to dump Buhari as their candidate. He is a bad product to sell. It is evident in how people are leaving the party. If we go by his own evidence, after so many things instigated by him against Saraki, he has now admitted that Saraki is a man of due
process.
“To that extent and by extension, he has placed him as a man who believes in rule of law. Unlike himself, Saraki is the candidate they should go for, or Tambuwal, or a Middle Belt person. APC has a choice to change itself.
“Alongside these changes, they should embrace a new level of politicking and performance. With these changes, APC will not give us the bad omen which they have been giving to us. It is imperative that all our critical stakeholders in nation building have started to forge a patriotic front and working in concert and unity to achieve the desired ends.”
