Quote “It is insulting and ridiculous that Baraje, a former teacher who should be an epitome of morality and good behaviour, could have the audacity to give an ultimatum to the embodiment of our sovereignty and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria over some contrived party issues. “His tenor and language on a day the peace talks are meant to resume show that these people are not ready for peace. They have some hidden agenda. And it is high time they are told the truth. Nigerians are wiser. They can see through all their theatrics and attempts to stop the President from exercising his fundamental right to vote and be voted for. They are only hiding behind some smokescreen. “From his outbursts, it is obvious that these people are frustrated and desperate for power. They should come out of their cloak and tell Nigerians their real intentions instead of masquerading as champions of democratic ideals when they are the exact opposite. “It is regrettable that Baraje could take on an institution as the Presidency, issuing threats and ultimatum. It shows how low our democracy has sunk. It is nonsensical and highly provocative that they now seek to rubbish the Presidency, just like they have done to the judiciary time and again.” “Rest assured, the party has “foot soldiers” across the country that can take on “these rebels.”” “The President was right to have initiated talks with the dissidents, it was frustrating that the initiative was being abused, adding: “It has created room for some of these people to disrespect the institution of the Presidency and the symbol of our democracy.” “Plaintiffs in the contempt of court proceedings against Baraje and others should pursue the matter to a logical conclusion so as to serve as a deterrent to others and restore discipline and sanity into the party.”Unquote
