The Director of Media and Publicity for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organization, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, has stated that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari is likely to appear before the International Criminal Court (ICC) after the March 28 presidential elections to defend charges of electoral violence preferred against him by some Dutch lawyers in January.
Speaking at a news briefing in Abuja on Sunday, the PDP spokesperson said international focus was on the former Head of State for the 2011 post-election violence that claimed so many lives. He expressed hopes that Buhari would made to face the wrath of the law “for the violence unleashed on innocent Nigerians by his supporters”.
Fani-kayode also said that General Buhari’s appearance to deliver a lecture at the Chatham House in London on Thursday was hurriedly arranged to divert the attention of Nigerians and the whole world from the fact that his trip to London was mainly to seek medical attention.
The APC presidential candidate recently debunked the claims in an interview with Channels TV, stating that “after visiting 35 states and holding town hall meetings in Lagos, Kano and Abuja and having forced on me six weeks of holidays, I have to come away from Nigeria to get some relative peace”
“Nigerians have been seeing me on the television, hearing me on the radio, visiting the whole; I never had any health problem,” General Buhari said.
