Ondo Election: PDP Writes Buhari, Accuses Akeredolu, Security Agencies Of Violence

PDP in an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari raised the alarm over different attacks on its members.

The party asked the President to caution Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for allegedly causing violence in the state.

The letter reads, “The 1983 violence that engulfed Ondo State must not be allowed to reoccur. The service chiefs had been giving free access to the political thugs assembled to maim and kill the people of Ondo State in order to achieve a desired political objective.

“A lot of people had been maimed and injured, while petitions to the federal authorities had yielded no result.

“We want Your Excellency to be aware of these atrocities committed under your watch. We are also asking the international community to note these atrocities. We believe that there is complicity involving even the Inspector-General of Police and some service chiefs.

“Anywhere Governor Rotimi Akeredolu goes to campaign, about five or six buses loaded with political thugs wielding guns accompany him. Only on Tuesday, September 22, these thugs unleashed violence on the people during Akeredolu’s campaign in Idanre.

“The story has been the same anywhere he goes, be it Akure or Ondo town. If care is not taken, there will be genocide in Ondo State.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
