Jonathan will lead Nigeria into war so he can stay beyond 2015 – El-Rufai
Congress, APC, in Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, said he
has uncovered plans by President Goodluck Jonathan
to lead Nigeria into war.
Speaking on Sunday during a visit to the correspondent
chapel, Kaduna, he alleged that the plot was to ensure
President Jonathan remains in office beyond 2015.
The Nigerian constitution states that elections cannot
hold when there is war.
El-Rufai said: "Jonathan is leading the country into war
in order not to have election in 2015 so he can enjoy
additional six months or thereabouts as stipulated in
the constitution. But we will not allow that to happen.
"Everybody in PDP is on his own. Whereas, in APC, we
are working together in unity as a party, from
counsellor to president."
The aspirant, however, said the APC would strongly
oppose any attempt to postpone the 2015.
He insisted that elections must hold in all parts of the
country as scheduled by the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC.
The former Minister further accused the ruling People's
Democratic Party, PDP, of fuelling insecurity and
disintegration in the nation.
On his plans for Kaduna, he promised to address the
challenges facing the state, saying, "This is the first time
that a sitting governor (Ramalan Yero) would be that
tensed up to the extent that he's saying I am not from
Kaduna.
"I want to build a state where there will not be indigene
or alien. A child born today is already owing N15, 000
debt. We will improve on Internal Generated Revenue
to get things done the way they should be."
