El-Rufai’s Posters Destroyed in Kaduna state, APC Blames PDP
The All Progressives Congress has condemned the destruction of the campaign bill boards and posters of its gubernatorial candidate in Kaduna state, Malam Nasir el-Rufai.
El-Rufai, in a statement by his spokesman, Samuel Aruman, claimed that thugs who belong to the Peoples Democratic People removed the posters and replaced them with those of Governor Yero.
He said: “Conscious of their unpopularity, the PDP is now displaying posters of Yero that feature pictures of the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
“It is seen as an admission that the PDP’s own presidential candidate is not sellable to the electorate, but also a demonstration of the PDP’s affinity for deception.
“In the said posters being paraded in the said axis, Yero is paired with Buhari while Malam El-Rufai is axed with a red ink.
“We will continue to play issue-based politics despite all deliberate attempts and mischief to taint our image and popularity before the good people of Kaduna State.
“Neither the tons of illicit money they are spending to bribe voters nor can the violent actions designed to intimidate and frighten citizens save the PDP in Kaduna State from the coming electoral humiliation.
“The people of Kaduna State are clearly tired of an incompetent, wasteful government that has proved incapable of leading, performing or delivering public services.”
In a statement through his Director-General, Media and Publicity, Malam Ahmed Mayaki in Zaria, Governor Yero denied the allegations and said el-Rufai was becoming too desperate for power.
“We must not forget that we are only humans. God has already destined all things and it is only God that can give power to whomsoever He wishes. It is unnecessary to fight over power and politics cannot worth a single drop of the blood of any citizen.”
