June 12 Has Separated Buhari From PDP Govts – Buhari Supporters

Supporters of Muhammadu Buhari have noted a fundamental difference between his government and preceding Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governments as the way he administered justice concerning the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

The supporters under the aegis of the Buhari Media Organisation in a statement signed by the group chairman Niyi Akinsiju and its secretary Cassidy Madueke, also flayed comments by the PDP that President Buhari played politics on the issue. The group also warned the PDP not to see opposition as a license to be reckless.

“June 12 is not just a day to remember the struggles of our past but a day that triggers a new hope and a new dawn with a substantive direction for a greater Nigeria.

“On May 29 this year PDP released a statement saying President Muhammadu Buhari did not deliver a speech at his inauguration for second term, but the opposition party forget that the symbolism of democracy day was shifted from May 29 to June 12. 

“What Nigeria needs at the moment is a conscientious opposition not a reckless narcissistic opposition who, rather than show some remorse for their previous apathy, tried to make June 12 about themselves and their loss at the presidential polls. 

“PDP was in power at the centre for 16 years and the PDP-led administration, over that period, did not deem it fit to correct the injustice meted out to the clear winner of the June 12, 1993 election, and Nigerians generally.

“We wish to admonish the PDP, for its role as opposition, to be introspective and not be reckless with their statements. The election has been won fair and square so they should focus on the business of an opposition party.”

President Goodluck Jonathan who came to power on the platform of the PDP was the only one of three PDP presidents who made an attempt to honour Abiola through renaming the University of Lagos after him but the move died out following vehement opposition from institutional stakeholders.
