The President-Elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has been urged to call the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State to order over their seeming desperation for power to avoid instability in the state.
The call was made by an Abuja-based group, the Society for Rule of Law in Nigeria (SRLN) in a statement issued on Thursday and signed by its National Co-ordinator, Dr Chima Ubeku.
The group said that the APC should stop behaving like bad losers and emulate President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It explained: “Fayose won an election, likewise General Muhammadu Buhari. If President Jonathan conceded defeat and PDP is not doing anything untoward against Buhari’s victory, why can’t the APC toe the same line in respect of the Ekiti election?
“Why is it that the APC that won the presidential election is fomenting trouble and trying to cause instability in Ekiti?”.
On the State Assembly crisis, the group said; “Since it was the APC lawmakers that went to court, they should allow the court to adjudicate instead of taking actions capable of overreaching the court.”
The group, which commended President Jonathan for acting like a statesman, added that; “Buhari should reciprocate by calling members of his party to order so that they don’t cause anarchy in Ekiti and other states not controlled by the APC.”
