The Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential Campaign Team in the South West, Mr. Jide Adeniji, has claimed that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), is not mentally stable to administer the nation’s political shrine. Adeniji said this at a press conference in Osogbo on Tuesday.
Adeniji, who doubles as Chairman of Federal Road Maintenance Agency, said Buhari did nothing commendable after he staged a coup and removed a democratically elected government of former President Shehu Shagari in 1983.
He noted that President Goodluck Jonathan had achieved so much within the past four years, including establishing federal universities in states where such did not exist.
He said, “I respect Gen. Buhari; he is an elderly man, but Buhari does not have the mental capability to rule Nigeria.
Some people ruled Nigeria and did not build anything, they did not do anything to uplift the standard of education. “No way, President (Goodluck) Jonathan won’t hand over power to an S75 holder. His certificate is in doubt. Is that the kind of leader Nigeria needs now? No.” Adeniji added that the Yoruba people would not vote for Buhari because he did not love the people of the South West region.
According to him, there was a time some Fulani cattle rearers and some Yoruba people clashed at Shaki in Oyo State and lives were wasted. Adeniji claimed that Lam Adesina, the then governor of Oyo State, was happy to see that Buhari was the leader of delegation from the North to assess the situation but said the governor was socked when Buhari allegedly said he came for only Fulani people and not for the affected Yoruba
people.
