LAGOS — A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and political leader in Itsekiri nation, Dr Alex Tosan Ideh, has described attacks on the Presidential candidate of the party, General Muhammadu Buhari, by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as wicked, misleading and disparaging.

He also tasked the PDP and its followers to respect the peace accord signed by both Presidential candidates.

Ideh who was the Secretary to the APC Convention during the primaries that produced Buhari, said the PDP and its followers must restrain from callous and disparaging verbal attacks.

His words: “It is true he was a soldier and led Nigeria for 14 months but those who now seek to hold him out as an undemocratic monster must be guilty of an extraordinary amount of revisionism.

“We must uphold the truth and describe the circumstances as they are. I am privileged to speak on our experience of democracy because I have been a participant and a ring-side operator for over 30 years.

“Buhari’s reputation is assured and no amount of bad mouthing can distract Nigerians from acknowledging the wicked failures of President Jonathan administration. Nigerians cannot wait to see it voted out.”
