Buhari Plans To Use Police, Soldiers To Rig Elections – TY Danjuma Alleges
Former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, has accused the
Buhari-led administration of planning to use police and soldiers to rig
the coming elections. The presidential and National Assembly elections
is slated for February 16th while the governorship/state
Assembly/Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections will hold on
Saturday, 2nd March, 2019.
The retired army general made the allegation when he spoke at the
inauguration of a medical laboratory at the Rufkatu Danjuma Maternity
Hospital in Takum, his hometown in Taraba state yesterday January 22nd.
Describing Nigeria’s democracy as primitive, he said there is a plan
to cause unrest that would make some states ungovernable in order to
manipulate the 2019 elections.
“We must work hard for peace in addition to just registering and
obtaining our permanent voter cards. There is no need to fight one
another because they will use the police and soldiers to destabilise us
and rig the elections. It is in our best interest to ensure there is
peace. Those behind this plot know that they will not win elections if
there is peace. I want to call on you not to sell your votes because you
will be selling your birthright if you do so.” he said
