The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
candidate for Adamawa South Senatorial District, Silas Zwingina, has claimed
that the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu
Buhari, intends to send public office holders to jail if he emerges president.
Mr.
Zwingina, therefore, urged his party members to work hard to ensure that Mr.
Buhari fails in his bid to become president.
Speaking
in Yola, the Adamawa state capital, Mr. Zwingina said “we have to stop Buhari
and his plan to build more prisons to jail politicians.
“You
know Buhari, he will send us to jail for between 200 to 300 years and it is the
lucky ones among us that will get 50 years. Read more
“As
you know, there is no way you will hold office in Nigeria and go scot free if
the authorities want to get you.
“Buhari
is determined to send people to jail and even APC governors are not comfortable
with him and that’s why many of them are not following his campaign team,” Mr.
Zwingina alleged.
He
said President Goodluck Jonathan is better than Mr. Buhari and needs to be
returned to continue his transformation agenda.
“Let
me tell you, that Jonathan is 1,000 times better than Buhari and that’s why
people resolved to vote for our candidate, President Jonathan,” he said.
He
also urged the people to elect the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Nuhu Ribadu as
Governor and vote all other PDP candidates in the state.
In
his remarks, Mr. Ribadu pleaded for the unity of PDP in the state if it must
emerged victorious.
“If
you vote me, I promise you that I will not betray you. I met just recently with
Mr. President and he showed concern over the level of underdevelopment in
Adamawa with the promise that Adamawa is among the states he will accord
priority in terms of federal projects.
“In
2011 election, we gave the president 65 per cent and I promised him that this
time around we will give him 80 per cent,” Mr. Ribadu said.
