Buhari’s Group Promise to Fight Back if......

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (retd.), in Ekiti State have vowed to resist Governor Ayodele Fayose’s alleged clampdown on the opposition in the State.
They warned that they would have to fight back to defend themselves if the security agencies failed to address their series of complaints against the government.
Speaking with our correspondent in Ado Ekiti, the State Coordinator of Buhari Support Organisation on International Observers, Mr. Femi Adeleye, urged Fayose to stop attacking members of the opposition in the state.
He said, “We have notified the security agencies and they said they are on top of the situation.
“We are law abiding citizens and we have reported to the security agencies. The governor should allow people to make their choice, but if the security agencies fail to do the right thing, we will have no option than to fight back.
“If the Governor fails to allow peace to reign, then he is inviting anarchy because we will have no option than to defend ourselves.”
Adeleye boasted that Buhari would emerge victorious in the February 14 election, saying many Peoples Democratic Party’s members had expressed their readiness to vote for him because he had the “experience, pedigree, character and integrity to turn the fortunes of Nigeria around for good.”
The former member of the State House of Assembly disclosed that more volunteers had offered to join the group to help project Buhari’s message of change and the need to rescue Nigeria from the brink.
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure a credible, free and fair election that would meet international standards.
