The
Catholic Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most. Rev. Felix Ajakaye, has urged
President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure the arrest and prosecution of
former Head of State, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for making
unguarded statements.
The bishop said this in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday in an interview with journalists.
He said the security agents ought to have
arrested Buhari for threatening that there would be bloodshed in the
country if the 2015 was rigged.
According to him, rather than trading words
with the retired general, the Presient ought to have asked law
enforcement agencies to prosecute him for threatening the peace of the
nation.
The cleric said Buhari, the presidential
candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 elections,
should not be allowed to destabilise the country because he wants to
rule at all costs.
He stated that the likes of Buhari had
loyalists who could translate such comments into actions, saying they
should not be allowed to turn the country to a theatre of war.
Ajakaye said the nation was going through a
trying time, adding that such inflammatory comment could worsen the
already bad security situation in the country.
He said, “Nigeria belongs to all of us and
we have no other place to go and we should watch our utterances, no
matter our status. We are in a very trying time and we need to be
prayerful and work.
