The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Senator Ahmed Yusuf Datti, Thursday, described the extension of the deadline for the Naira swap as weakness on the part of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Datti, who disclosed this in an interview after a courtesy call on Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, contended that for Buhari to have shifted grounds twice there were propensity that he may extend the deadline again.
"It is mixed feelings because when you see a President bulge once however small, those mighty that prevailed on him to bulge will see a gleamer of hope to press further. Maybe this President is becoming a weakling as they would say a lame duck President and if you seed one inch , you are likely to seed another inch.
"So it is a lot of concern for us for the President to change position literally nine days to the election. However, we have recognized the fact currently is a sovereign matter and no state governor especially those who don't respect court judgement have any right to interfer with the Federal government in issues about currently.
"It has been done and it stays and it was poorly implemented and everything about government is poorly done including our economy, security as well as the level of corruption and we have come to leave with it. We pray that the election would go well so that as His Majesty said if election is well done , it can open the space for good governance " he said.
Speaking while receiving the Labour Party Running mate, Obi Nnaemeka Achebe noted that the Joint Body of South East Council of Traditional Rulers and body of Arch Bishops and Bishops resolved to call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a flawless election with all the technology and human capacity at it's disposal.
