Neither Jonathan nor Buhari can end Nigeria’s woes--Odeyemi

The Chairman, South-West, Nigeria Advance Party, Mr. Tosin Odeyemi, said that neither President Goodluck Jonathan nor the Presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) can end the challenges faced by the country if any of them wins the forthcoming presidential election.

 Mr. Odeyemi said that the insurgency in the North would likely continue if Jonathan wins while the Niger Delta militants might resume economic sabotage if Buhari, who is from the North defeat Jonathan.

According to Odeyemi, “If Jonathan wins, then Boko Haram will not stop and if Buhari should win, the Niger Delta militants will likely resume to trouble the nation.

“Then if care is not taken, Nigerians may unconsciously work towards fulfilling the prediction of the break-up in 2015. But we don’t want that to happen because we need one another.”

He also suggested the general election should be postponed until a time when security would improve in the country because millions might not be able to participate if the poll should be conducted next month.

The NAP chieftain already said the general election would not hold in some places, especially in the north-eastern part of the country due to the activities of the terrorists.
