“With Buhari, Nigeria Will Return To Military Dictatorship” Adamu Mu’azu Warns

The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has cautioned against electing a president that would be antagonistic to Nigerians, stating that Nigeria will return to a combative presidency if General Muhammadu Buhari becomes the President next year.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Tony Amadi, the national chairman of PDP said that what Nigeria and Nigerians need at this moment is a President that would further drive home the dividends of democracy and use dialogue to heal the wounds of the nation.

According to him, “There are many reasons why Nigeria must not return to a quasi military dictatorship led by a war lord whose democratic credentials are suspect.

“It is also important to know that the power of the President is awesome and if you give it to a man who is not a coolheaded leader like President Jonathan, he will certainly throw the country into chaos at any time.”

National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, who extolled the qualities of President Jonathan, said he “is a tested and trusted democrat who is well experienced in running democratically elected government having been elected as a Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and now President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

According to Muazu, “General Buhari is the product of military dictatorship that cannot operate in a free country,” stating that he is unlike President Jonathan who at all times favours dialogue and persuasion which are the hallmarks of democratic governance.”
