Buhari Is light, Jonathan Darkness – CPC’s Ex-Spokesman

Image
The National Publicity Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said his (Gulak) statement saying 'PDP will win if APC picks Buhari in 2015 was the “hallmark” of a dying regime. He said that Buhari was head and shoulder above Jonathan. He said, “Putting Buhari and President Jonathan side by side is like putting light and darkness together. Buhari is head and shoulder above Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who is occupying the nation’s highest seat. “It is Nigerians who will determine who will win the 2015 election, but we know that in a free and fair election, Jonathan does not stand a chance against Buhari. Let him say whatever he wants. “The PDP primaries could be manipulated for the President. We have said it that the PDP will be in the opposition as from 2015.”
