Forgive, stop going back to how you were overthrown-Owie tells Buhari

Former chief whip of the senate and a chieftain of the people’s Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Rowland Owie, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to be grateful to God for making  it possible for him to be the president of the country , rather than going back to the past on how he was overthrown in 1985.

In a statement yesterday, senator Owie asked Buhari to face governance for which has was elected by Nigerians and shouldn’t concern himself with vendetta and should face the job for which he was elected by Nigerians and stop chasing shadows. 

He added that “those who worked for his success in 2015 general election were many Nigerians whose parents, friends, well wishers were unjustly imprisoned by Buhari’s regime of 1984. They all supported him in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015 because the only thing that helps any human community to move forward and develop is forgiveness and letting bygone be bygone. 

Furthermore, he said that “for Buhari to be talking about issues of 1984 when God has given him victory in a democratic election, which by the antecedents of his first coming, did not, by human standard, deserve, he ought to be daily grateful to God, his party that gave him ticket and Nigerians that voted for him.”
