Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Jamiu said Buhari should not be
described anywhere as tribalistic, adding that if he was, he would not
have honoured his father 25 years after the annulment of the election.
He urged the Yoruba to reelect Buhari on February 16 so as not to betray Abiola and his slain wife, Kudirat, in their graves.
He
said, “People have to understand that any man that can honour a victory
won by another man from another tribe is not a tribalist. If he was
tribalistic, he would not have done what he did to M.K.O Abiola.
“Buhari
had even said in the letter of honour that June 12 is more important
than the Independence Day, Nigerians should understand that and I
believe that the Yoruba that I know will not betray Chief M.K.O Abiola
in his grave by voting against a man who honoured him.
“The Yoruba are known to appreciate and value anybody who genuinely does something good for them genuinely.’’
