"I must state that the proposal for suspension of elections is not with a view to giving the president an avenue for undue tenure elongation but for the purpose of building a coalition that will bring lasting solutions to our problems.
I have clearly painted a picture of where we are, a disaster is ahead of us. If the northerner emerges as winner, whether he has won that election fair and square or not, people will allege rigging. If Jonathan wins the election, fair and square, they will allege that hie used his power of incumbency to rig the election,” Bakare said.
" I do not say this to be controversial but to clear the dust; I see President Goodluck Jonathan as the man whom both God and Nigerians had great expectation of, but as for now, had failed. However, there is still time to redeem his dignity if his name is to go down in the book of history as the greatest president in African."
