Burkina Faso revolution, signal for Nigeria – Aregbesola
Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said that the revolution that took place in Burkina Faso that led to the ousting of Blaise Compaore is a signal to Nigerians to gird their loins and prepare for the February 2015 general elections and make it credible.
He also appealed to Burkina Faso indigenes not to allow military rule after the exit of Compaore.
Aregbesola made this appeal at a Victory Colloquium organised for him in Lagos, he urged the people of Burkina Faso to continue with the revolution that ousted Compaore to its logical conclusion by forming a national government that will conduct election in the shortest time possible.
He alleged that the conduct of 2015 general elections will not be easy because the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will want to use force it could muster to rig itself into power.
The Osun State governor also decried the militarisation of election and alleged federal Government’s lawlessness and impunity against political opposition in Nigeria.
