The Peoples Democratic Party has said that the concerns raised by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, detailing President Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged scheme to use apparatus of state to subjugate Nigerians in the 2019 general elections has vindicated its stand.
“It will undermine the democratic system , subvert the electoral process and perpetuate himself in office,” PDP said in a series of tweets on its verified Twitter handle @OfficialPDPNig.
“Obasanjo’s submission has also reinforced our position that Buhari and his party, APC, having realised that there is no way he can win in a free and fair election, is now besieging all democratic institutions, including the Judiciary, the Legislature, and INEC.
“The whole world can see how President Buhari and APC’s desperation for power is putting the lives of over 200 million Nigerian citizens at great risk, as their actions stoke violence and push our dear nation to the precipice.
“President Obasanjo’s concern is therefore, a clarion call to all compatriots, irrespective of ethnic, religious and political affiliations to rise in defence of our democracy, ” PDP tweeted.
