Afenifere Chieftain and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship
aspirant in Ekiti State, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has said the All Progressives
Congress (APC) should perish the thought of ever governing Nigeria,
saying; “God will never put Nigeria in the hands of gangsters.”
Adeyeye, who was reacting to the APC’s statement that only sycophants are
putting President Goodluck Jonathan under pressure to contest the 2015
presidential election, said; “President Jonathan has the Constitutional
right to seek a second term and no amount of noise-making from the APC and
its allies can deny him that right.”
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti today, Adeyeye said; “Nigerians are not
robots as the APC people think.
“Nigerians can compare governance under President Jonathan with what is
obtainable under the APC governments in States like Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ogun
and Lagos.
“What better governance can the APC offer Nigerians? Is it the one in
which a single individual sits in his bedroom in Lagos and determine who
should eat pounded yam and egunsi soup and who should not in Suleja,
Kafanchan, Ikot-Ekpene, Asaba, Onitsha or Sokoto?
“Is it the kind of governance in which elections are held and results of
the elections are not released two years after as in the case of the Lagos
State Local Government election held in 2011? Or the one in which an
individual will come to the polling unit during an election and announce
that he is the lord of Nigeria and must be allowed to vote without his
voters card?
“Is it the kind of governance in which those who are opposed to the
government are murdered in broad daylight as being witnessed in Ekiti
State?
