APC Says It’s Not Threatened by PDP’s Antics
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has addressed the Jonathan campaign Organisation’s claim that the opposition party leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, intends to become Vice President if The party wins the forthcoming elections as a mere plan to divert attention from the success of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari at the Chatham House in London last Thursday.
The party released a statement via its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Saturday, saying:
”Our presidential candidate’s globally-acclaimed outing has presented Nigerians, and indeed the global community, with a choice between a bumbling, ineffective, incoherent, clueless, visionless and incompetent President and an assertive, knowledgeable, dignified, purposeful and principled President-in-waiting.
”Having failed to discredit that outing with a rented crowd, some of whom confessed to have been paid to carry placards they do not even understand, the PDP and the Jonathan Administration have now resorted to making nauseating claims that are totally untrue, absolutely incomprehensible and nothing but sheer bunkum.
”They have thrown everything imaginable at Gen. Buhari, but he has continued to wax stronger and stronger: They said he was not qualified, that he was too old, then they fabricated a medical report of an illness of their own choice, sponsored death wish adverts against him and instituted a myriad of court cases to stop him.
”After they failed to stop him, they went after the election itself, using the PVCs as a tool to launch a campaign for postponement and, when they realized that would not work, came up with the bogey of insecurity in the North-east to force a postponement of the election, hoping they can buy enough time to revive their electoral misfortune.
”With everything working against them, they engaged in a show of shame at The Chatham House that backfired badly, on the heels of their bare-faced lies that Gen. Buhari was hospitalized in London. The preposterous claim of a secret oath – reminiscent of what they do in their own party – by the apparently ailing spokesman of the Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, is their latest desperate act.”
The opposition party also said that despite the unfounded accusations raised by the PDP continually, Gen Buhari will no be pressure or fazed.
