‘Had Jonathan attacked you, would you be in power today?’ – Rufai Oseni questions APC

Arise News anchor, Rufai Oseni, has taken a swipe on the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, over the fixed assault and harassment of opposition voices within the nation.

Rufai, who spoke on Wednesday throughout Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show,’ blasted APC’s remedy of the opposition, describing it as a hazard to democracy.

According to him, if former President Goodluck Jonathan had handled APC badly after they had been in opposition, they’d not be in energy right this moment.

The broadcaster reminded Nigerians how APC leaders had been allowed to insult Jonathan, name for protest, name for parallel authorities, and even name for his resignation, however Jonathan by no means arrested or silenced them.

“If Jonathan had treated the opposition badly, would they be in power today? Would APC be in power? Jonathan allowed them to talk, he allowed them to protest, he allowed them to even abuse him. That is democracy,” Rufai stated.

He stated it’s shameful that the identical occasion that loved freedom beneath Jonathan is now searching opposition members for talking.

Rufai warned that if the ruling APC continues to assault the opposition, the nation will slide right into a one-party state and anarchy.

He requested APC to tolerate criticism and deal with governance as an alternative of preventing those that disagree with them.
