The Lagos League of Political Parties (LLPP), on Thursday, appealed to former Head of State,Major General Muhammadu Buhari(rtd)s to withdraw his statement threatening bloodshed in the 2015 polls.
Major General Buhari(rtd) served as Head of State from December 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985, when he was toppled by retired General Ibrahim Babangida in what could be described as a palace coup.
In a statement signed by its Lagos State chairman, Mr Udoka Udeogaranya, the LLPP said it considered the statement as being capable of affecting national peace, progress and civility.
“We will like to remind us all that many people in Nigeria have previously lost their lives because of the heightened passions usually caused by such statements,” the group said.
It noted that, as participants in the April 2011 general election, the LLPP could attest to the huge progress recorded by the Goodluck Jonathan administration in the conduct of the polls.
“The progress recorded in the 2011 polls clearly contrasts with the previous one of 2007.
“Little wonder, all the opposition parties in Lagos State, for instance, congratulated the winning party and that has provided a peaceful environment for governance in the state,” it said.
The LLPP, however, advised all politicians to allow those elected to be able to deliver to the electorate the promises they made to them during the electioneering.
