For Senator Silas Zwingina, the fear of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, is the beginning of wisdom.
Zwingina, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Adamawa South Senatorial District in the March 28 senatorial election, told party supporters in Yola: “He (Buhari) intends to send public office holders to jail if he emerges president. I urge our party members to work hard to ensure that Buhari fails in his bid to become president. We must not allow him to win this election. We have to stop Buhari and his plan to build more prisons to jail politicians. You know Buhari, he will send us to jail for between 200 to 300 years and it is the lucky ones among us that will get 50 years.
“As you know, there is no way you will hold office in Nigeria and go scot free if the authorities want to get you. Buhari is determined to send people to jail and even APC governors are not comfortable with him and that’s why many of them are not following his campaign team”.
Zwingina told the electorate to reelect President Goodluck Jonathan to continue his transformation agenda.
“Let me tell you, that Jonathan is 1,000 times better than Buhari and that’s why people resolved to vote for our candidate, President Jonathan,” he said.
