A presidential aspirant on the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Taminu Turaki, has warned
that the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari may win
the 2019 election if the main opposition party fails to unite and work
together.
He also said that the National
Assembly will override Buhari’s decision on the electoral sequence Act.
Turaki said he was surprised that
Buhari had declined signing the Act into law.
Turaki spoke on Thursday in
Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, during the inauguration of the campaign office
of a Kwara State governorship aspirant on the PDP platform, Prof Sulaiman
Abubakar.
Turaki said, “What is happening
now is what has been happening with the APC-led Federal Government.
“Something that ordinarily should
be a simple law-making process is being complicated unnecessarily.
“The President has the power upon
the passing of a bill to assent to it or refuse to assent to it. But in this
particular situation, the FG had gone to court and they lost and after losing,
they are now saying they are going to veto it.
“Thank God, the constitution has
made provision to override and they are going to use it.”
He advised PDP members to be
united ahead of the 2019 elections.
He warned, “APC and Buhari could
win the 2019 presidential election if individual interests of PDP members were
not subordinated to the overall national interest.”
