Former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro
yesterday, urged Nigerians to assess Gen Muhammadu Buhari, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate by his past and not
what his party presents him to be in 2015.
Addressing a rally of over 5,000 supporters in Badagry under the aegis of the Goodluck Sambo Independent Campaign Group in Lagos, Obanikoro said Buhari was not electable.
“We cannot continue to judge Buhari based on what we think he will do in future. He should be judged by what he did as a former head of state,” he said.
Obanikoro, said the assaults allegedly committed by Buhari and his regime could not be swept under the carpet.
“His assault on Pa Awolowo, late Bola Ige, former governor Lateef Jakande, among others should not be forgotten.
“The worst crime was his stopping of the Lagos Metro line, which would have put Lagos State on a pedestal of sorts,” he said.
On the Buhari certificate saga, the former minister said it should not be patched up, stressing that the APC wanted to patch up the issue but must not be allowed.
On why Nigerians should vote for Jonathan, Obanikoro said the President was serving Nigeria without discrimination and had helped Nigeria’s democracy to grow by guaranteeing freedom of speech for all.
“Jonathan has made Nigeria his constituency and has never discriminated against any tribe,” he said.
