Adams Oshiomhole,
national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says many retired
generals have ganged up against the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
The former Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) chairman said the generals do not want Buhari to spend eight
years in office.
Oshiomhole was speaking
on Saturday at the party’s presidential rally in Minna, Niger state.
“Many of the retired
generals are ganging up against President Buhari, that he will not do eight
years while they did more than eight years,” he said.
“The generals, especially
past leaders, have ganged up and reached a conclusion that President Buhari
should not continue.
“When he ruled more than
eight years, and when he ruled for more than eight years, they do not want
Buhari to complete his tenure.
“Why do they believe
Nigeria belongs to them?
“Let us not forget that
Buhari was removed after spending less than three years and was put in prison
for three years because he was fighting corruption.”
The APC chairman told the
people to disregard rumours that the ruling party had plans to rig the
elections.
“As a progressive, I
strongly believe in one man one vote, one General one vote, one woman one vote,
one youth one vote. I don’t believe in rigging,” he said.
“We remain a firm
believer of one man, one vote, one woman, one vote and one former head of state,
one vote.”
