Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives Congress, hails from the North-West.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The PDP governorship candidate said this at meeting in London organised by his supporters and the UK chapter of the PDP.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In the six-minute video clip posted on <a href="http://diasporapr.com/"><b>DiasporaPr.com</b></a>, which was sighted by our correspondent, Agbaje warned that Jonathan’s victory was imperative.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “I was active in the politics of the South-West in 1999. The Afenifere of which I was a very active member, did not support Olusegun Obasanjo as President but in 2003, it was difficult for the Afenifere as an organisation to go out and tell people that they should not vote a Yoruba man into office and so what did they do? They said they would not present a candidate because they had their own son (Obasanjo) who was running for office. That is the politics of that country.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “Now, in 2015, we are saying that the South-South has presented a candidate and we are talking about equity and some are saying that he should not be given a second term. This is a very difficult thing.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “In argument, some have said ‘what will happen?’ Well, people will be upset and they have shown that they have the power to shut down the system. I am not saying it is justified but the reality is there. If the system is shut down, where are we as a country?</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “They say if the others don’t get it, they too could shut down the system. Yes they can shut down the system but ask yourself which of the two do you think we can survive with? And these are the realities that we have to face.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “These are the realities that we have to allow. First, we have to sell the achievements of our person but we have to understand the politics of our country that we are still doing turn by turn and it must run in a way that is equitable.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Agbaje said Jonathan had done very well but his achievements were not been publicised well enough.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He said Buhari was too old to rule, adding that he was being controlled by people with selfish ambition.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He said, “The Buhari of 2007 and 2011 is not the Buhari of 2015. The Buhari of 2015 is a more compromised candidate. He is not working on his steam any longer; he is working on the steam of those who want him there for their own reasons.”</div>
