The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate in the just-concluded elections, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has urged the party’s supporters to avoid molestation of opponents in their celebration. This is contained in a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday and signed by Malam Garba Shehu, Director Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation.
It warned that anybody happy with the victory of the APC in the presidential election will not be involved in the molestation of opponents or the destruction of their property. The statement quoted Buhari as saying that Nigerians have chosen him and his party through their votes, saying that they should remain calm. The statement noted that the party declared victory after President Goodluck Jonathan called Buhari at 5:15 p.m. ”The mood of the country as well as its current state does not warrant the type of wild celebrations reportedly going on in some cities across the country. ”Anybody happy with the victory of the APC in the presidential election will not be involved in the molestation of opponents or the destruction of their property. ”He or she is not with me, whoever does that,” the statement quoted Buhari as saying. Buhari thanked Nigerians and the party’s supporters for their massive votes for him and the party.

People are very stupid at times when they talk. Please give me five reason for a Yoruba man to support an Ibo man! Jonathan failed Nigerians and Nigerians failed him as well. He didn't do jack for the Yorubas. List of people that should report to the nearest police station: Ngozi Okonko Iweala, ex president Goodluck Jonathan, Patience his wife and the whole Ibo community.

Jonathan has never been an Ibo man.He is a full bloody ijaw man. A man who claims to be in his rightful sense asked why a yoruba should support an ibo? Go back to 1999 and 2003,the Ibos overwhelmingly voted Obasanjo (a bloody yorubaman).Congratulations to GMB but no one should be made a scapegrace for losing or supporting the losing candidate. Buhari has been a losing candidate hitherto and no one ever sent him to jail inspite of his provocative statements.Granted that this is a social media but then caution must be applied while we post our comments to ensure decency and decorum.
