Call your supporters to order, Jonathan tells Buhari

Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has called
on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), to call his supporters to order and ensure a
violence-free election.
Director of Media and Publicity of the Organisation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, made the call in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja
against the backdrop of the violence, arson and destruction unleashed
on President Goodluck Jonathan's campaign buses at Zololo Junction
along Bauchi road in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State
on Saturday.
Fani-Kayode warned Buhari and the APC not to prepare the ground for
the re-enactment of the post-election violence of 2011.
According to him, "It is on record that General Buhari's utterances
since 2011 have fuelled violence especially the post-election violence
in parts of the north which claimed the lives of many youth corps
members who were deployed as ad-hoc staff members for that year's
election.
"It is sad that up till now General Buhari has refused to apologize to
the Nigerian people for that barbaric and shameful incident or show
any remorse for the actions of his supporters. He could not even bring
himself to tender an apology to the families of those young corps
members that were hacked to death and murdered in cold blood by his
agents.
"As if that was not enough tragedy unleashed on the polity, General
Buhari recently said that the 'baboon and the dog would be soaked in
blood if what happened in 2011 repeat itself in 2015.'
"The Jos attack on the campaign buses of President Goodluck Jonathan
would appear to be a pointer to what the opposition APC presidential
candidate is planning before and after the February 14 presidential
election.
"We therefore call on well-meaning Nigerians and members of the
international community to speak forcefully against this development,
which threatens our elections and democracy and which falls way below
the standard of best international practices," Fani-Kayode added.
