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.”
