A retired military general, Brig.-Gen. Ayodele Ojo, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of trying to cause instability in the country for President Muhammadu Buhari-led government. Ojo told our correspondent that the action of the PDP senators to allow Ike Ekweremadu to emerge as the Deputy Senate President in a chamber controlled by the All Progressives Congress was aimed at destabilising or ambushing the new administration. Ojo said, “I think that is not the best way to play the role of opposition. The opposition should be credible and constructive. As for the distinguished Senator Ekweremadu, he should have declined his nomination on moral grounds. What new innovation or added value is he bringing to that office? To my mind, PDP should have allowed the new government to successfully transit instead of deliberately promoting instability or trying to ambush it even before it takes off. My suggestion to Ekweremadu is for him to resign as the Deputy Senate President in the interest of peace and stability of Nigeria. That to me is the path of honour.” Ojo, who was a director in the Defence Headquarters, also criticised the National Assembly for being the weakest link in the nation’s democracy. He stated that Nigerian lawmakers need to exhibit democratic traits as exhibited by the United States’ congress after which the Nigerian legislative system was fashioned. On the President’s delay in appointing ministers, the retired general argued that a serious government with a mission for change could not afford to hastily form its cabinet. According to him, the President must resist any attempt to be stampeded by the PDP and other opposition elements into appointing ministers.

General OJo should STFU and look up the meaning of opposition in the dictionary

Mr General, that is the role of the opposition. Everywhere in the world the role of the opposition is to make the tenure of the ruling party as rough and unstable as possible. Their job is not to lay a path of feathers for their opponents. As long as it is within the ambit of the law it's okay. Even in the US, you see the Republicans viciously attacking Obama's policies and trying their best to falter his plans. It's normal for the PDP to do such, all that is left is for the APC to try and defect the missiles and not cry like babies. The PDP are Nigerians and so have every right to show Nigerians that their way is the best way and all we have to do is watch, see and choose when the. D-day comes
