The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the National Peace Committee to caution President Buhari.
The opposition party also said that there is no certainty that there would be a free and fair election with Amina Zakari at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Zakari was recently appointed as the head of INEC’s collation centre committee.
PDP immediately called for her dismissal, saying that she is a blood relation of the President.
PPCO, in its statement, said that Buhari’s sturbboness of having his relation be the leader of the team collating election results is not the way to go and might lead to the ruining of the whole election process.
Their latest statement read, “Gentlemen of the press, the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) alerts the National Peace Committee, the United Nations and all world leaders to save our nation from imminent collapse by immediately calling President Muhammadu Buhari to order, if we must have peaceful, free, fair and credible general elections in February.
We want the whole world to know that Nigeria is in a perilous time. President Muhammadu Buhari’s desperation for self-succession has become the major threat to our national unity, stability and peaceful electoral process.
Having realized that Nigerians are rallying behind our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as their next President, the Buhari Presidency is now seeking ways to enmesh the electoral process in crisis.
The Buhari Presidency has been overheating the polity with its unending manipulations of INEC, muzzling of free speech and escalated clampdown on opposition and Civil Society Organizations and we insist that such must stop if we must have a peaceful election.”
