It was said to be a part of his move to stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden\u2019s win by the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>And in its reaction, the Nigerian ruling party, APC had appealed to Trump to emulate Buhari who they claimed is a democrat.<\/p>\n<p>In his reaction during a chat with DAILY POST on Monday, Bamgbose wondered how on earth APC can have the audacity to ask Trump to emulate Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is APC taking Nigeria for? During the build up to 2015 elections, Buhari was quoted to have threatened that monkey and baboon will be soaked in blood, could that be the person Trump should emulate? It\u2019s really funny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s set the matter straight, President Buhari is yet to showcase his democratic credentials. He cannot be seen as a true democrat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s government never refuted that people lost their lives at the riot at the Capitol. Could that be same with Lekki Toll Gate killings? Up till date, the Nigerian Government has denied the shootings by the military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPC should stop fooling themselves by comparing Trump with Buhari. The difference is very clear. APC equally mentioned integrity and strong institutions to drive home their point for Trump to emulate Buhari, the truth however is that APC has no integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have weakened the institutions. The party is jaundiced. Nigeria will be worse off if APC wins again in 2023. APC has actually brought bad luck to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians must do away with APC come 2023, or else Nigeria should forget about dividends of democracy. One seriously doubts whether APC has what it takes to move the nation forward. Nigerians should wake up and plan the exit of APC come 2023. The party has outlived its usefulness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
