President Goodluck Jonathan breached his oath of office for aligning with Niger Delta militants, the Buhari campaign organisation said on Wednesday.
The APC flag bearer accused Jonathan of complicity and alliance with ethnic war lords who had threatened war in case he (Jonathan) fails at the February 14 presidential polls.
“This unholy alliance by the president with elements that served notice of their diabolical intention to foment trouble is in negation to the oath of allegiance sworn to over five years ago by the president, to maintain the territorial integrity and indivisible Nigeria,” Buhari said in a statement by his campaign spokesperson Malam Garba Shehu.
He condemned the president’s attitude of “condoling treasonable statements and gross indiscipline by some elements of his kinsmen – as a breach of presidential oath to protect all Nigerians and a sheer display of double standard and selective justice.”
“How can the President feign ignorance of the war plots and call to arms in Bayelsa State Government House in Yenagoa, supervised by a PDP Governor, Seriake Dickson, and the Presidential Special Adviser on Amnesty Programme, Kingsley Kuku, with majority of Niger Delta ex-militant kinsmen,” Shehu asked.
“Whereas this President was quick to condemn MEND for allegedly supporting the opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, and lambast claims by the hoax Federal Government-hired Australian negotiator with the Boko Haram, Dr Stephen Davis; publicly bad-mouthed his critics particularly former Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo; yet he has refused to call to order tribal war-mongers like Kingsley Kuku and his cohorts – Asari Dokubo, Tompolo, Boy Loaf and others. This is a total and unequivocal support of Mr. President for aiding and abetting treason in the land, an impeachable offence by all standards.”
