David Cameron’s revelation: Insult Buhari not Jonathan PDP tells APC
David Cameron’s revelation: Insult Buhari not Jonathan PDP tells APC
…Says APC seeks to divert attention
from corruption in Buhari’s Presidency
The Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has on Sunday advised the All Progressives Congress, APC
to stop insulting ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, noting that their
invective best suits President Muhammadu Buhari and his Presidency.
The party
equally noted that Buhari’s administration has gone down as the most
incompetent and most corrupt in the history of Nigeria. Disclosing this in a
statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the
party averred that the distortions and groundless attack on Jonathan was a
desperate tactic by the APC and the Buhari Presidency to divert public
attention from the recent shocking corruption and fraud revelations in which
close relatives and confidants of Mr. President are mentioned. Recall that
Nasir Danu who reportedly was Buhari’s known confidant was arrested at the
Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom, for alleged passport scam and money
laundering.
In view of
that, the party asked Buhari’s Presidency to defuse the situation, take a stand
and stop diverting Nigerians attention on infinitesimal issues. Recall also
that APC had blamed Jonathan for the April 14, 2014 abduction of scores of
schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno state, saying the ex-president should stop
attempting to absolve himself of blame regarding the incident. But in a riposte
on Sunday, PDP opined, “We have been made aware of how the Presidency has been
in a frenzy to suppress investigations and deflect public enquiries from the
arrest of President Buhari’s known confidant deported from the United Kingdom
for alleged international passport scam and money laundering, as it knows that
an inquest will further expose the huge rot in the Buhari Presidency. Our party
has equally been made aware of how the APC and the Buhari Presidency have been
desperate to divert public attention from the administration’s obnoxious
decision to further oppress Nigerians by reintroducing tollgates on our
highway, increasing Value Added Tax (VAT), electricity bill and other tariffs
as well as their despicable plot to sack government workers. The PDP charges
the APC and the Buhari Presidency to perish the idea of thinking that this
unnecessary distortions on the Jonathan administration would bury the demand
for an inquest into the Danu racket through which billions of naira meant for
the wellbeing of Nigerians are allegedly being diverted to private purses. The
PDP invites Nigerians to note how the APC had remained silent since revelations
that its key leaders and the cabal at the Presidency are involved in the
stealing of over N14 trillion meant for the wellbeing of Nigerians. Our party
further challenges the APC and the Buhari Presidency to speak out on the
alleged diversion of the N500bn meant for the Social Investment Programme among
other humongous fraud directly perpetrated under the Buhari Presidency.
Furthermore,
in trying to tar the PDP, the APC forgets that it is already common knowledge
that all the bad eggs that brought a bad name to the PDP have since left our
repositioned party to the APC where their National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole,
who also has a huge corruption allegation on his neck, admitted that the party
is a haven for corrupt persons. Moreover, the fact that President Buhari can
only surround himself with persons openly indicted for corruption, as ministers
and advisers, speaks volume of the administration’s posturing on corruption.
The PDP therefore charges the APC not to think that it can cover its mess by
trying to make unfounded allegations against President Goodluck Jonathan and
the PDP as Nigerians can now see through their shenanigans.”
