Brigadier-General Ayodele Ojo (rtd) has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of trying to cause instability in Nigeria for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
Speaking with The Punch, Ojo said that the PDP senators allowed Ike Ekweremadu to emerge as the deputy Senate president in a chamber controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) aiming to ambush the Buhari administration.
“I think that is not the best way to play the role of opposition. The opposition should be credible and constructive. As for the distinguished Senator Ekweremadu, he should have declined his nomination on moral grounds. What new innovation or added value is he bringing to that office?
“To my mind, the PDP should have allowed the new government to successfully transit instead of deliberately promoting instability or trying to ambush it even before it takes off. My suggestion to Ekweremadu is for him to resign as the deputy Senate president in the interest of peace and stability of Nigeria. That to me is the path of honour,” he said.
