Former
Senate President, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, has warned Nigerians against voting
President Muhammadu Buhari into power in 2019.
Ayu, who was the Senate President
in the Third Republic during an exclusive interview with the Sun
Newspaper on Saturday, said that Buhari winning second term will
consume the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu
and break-up the country.
“I am not a member of APC. At a
point when Obasanjo was destabilizing the PDP which I was a founding member, a
number of us left.
”We joined hands with Tinubu to
form Action Congress (AC). We were developing that party with him until it
became Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).”
“I talked
to my friend Tinubu, we are very close. I told him that we need to develop the progressive
party in Nigeria. He didn’t believe me, he preferred to go and link up with the
most right-wing group in the North. And that right-wing group was headed by
Buhari in the name of CPC. At that point, I left the party and came back to the
PDP. I have known Gen. Buhari when he was the military Head of State, I was a
university lecturer then. I know the tyranny that was visited on this country.”
“I refused to be part of that
team. I warned Tinubu that he will regret bringing Buhari and imposing him on
the party. I believe he is regretting silently without telling Nigerians. But
more is to be expected. I am sorry to say that if Buhari is re-elected in 2019,
it will not only consume Tinubu, it will consume so many other people. It may
even lead to the disintegration of Nigeria.”
