Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose
has sounded a note of warning to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and its
presidential candidate, Muhammadu
Buhari over unprovoked attacks on the
campaign train of President Goodluck
Jonathan in some parts of the north.
The governor said; "We will no longer
tolerate any orhestrated attack on
Pesident Jonathan and supporters of the
Peoples Democratic Party anywhere in
the country."
Governor Fayose , who spoke through his
Special Assistant on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said President
Jonathan's humility and silence of must not be
taken for granted.
He said Buhari should not allow desperation
for power to lead him into throwing the north
into another orgy of electoral violence as he
did when he lost the 2011 presidential
election.
Governor Fayose said; "Having signed a pact to
maintain peace before, during and after the
elections, it was expected that Buhari would
talk to his blood thirsty supporters to let peace
reign.
"However, the orchestrated attacks on the
campaign train of the president in Katsina and
Bauchi States have shown that APC is not a
party of peace and we are warning strongly
that they must not put Nigeria on the spot.
"Most importantly, Buhari and his APC should
tell us in plain language if what they want is to
dismember this country, because nobody has
monopoly of violence.
"They must stop taking the gentility and civility
of President Jonathan as weakness because an
attack on the President of a nation is an attack
on the country and Buhari should know that he
will never be President of Nigeria by
intimidation and blood-letting.
"The APC candidate should therefore talk to
his blood - thirsty supporters in the North to
stop attacking the president, else they risk
reprisal attacks from Nigerians in other parts
of the country."
