Former Nigerian President Shehu Shagari's son has denied a statement credited to the elder statesman that he has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for second term.
In a statement released by one of the former president’s sons, Muhammad Bala Shagari, the family frowned at the report concorted by a pro-Jonathan newspaper that claimed that Mr. Shagari had endorsed the incumbent president and condemned Muhammadu Buhari’s candidature as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He added: “It is pertinent to note that Alhaji Shehu Shagari is not a card-carrying member of any political party neither [does he] support the candidature of any politician. Alhaji Shehu Shagari was for long retired from partisan politics, he’s known for his proven integrity and [reputation as a] distinguished nationalist and elder statesman who treats every Nigerian/politician equally irrespective of his/her political party, tribe, ethnicity or religion.
He therefore urged the members of the public to disregard such publication as they are mere fabrications and concoctions aimed at tarnishing the good image of his father Alhaji Shehu Shagari.

Its becoming more clearer by the day what PDP and its supporters are up which is lie and lies all the way , they got a picture of a housing estate at Lekki and said it was a project by Jonathan in the north and when I saw this Shehu Shagari endorsement I know it was one of those but I couldn't say anything.
ReplyDeleteA PDP governor said that in politics if u don't know how to lie then u don't have a carrier in it which I agree with but what I want to advice the PDP and its supporters is that it is better to tell a credible lies and one which after u said it u will always remember and people around will some how find it difficult to say whether u are lying or not because all they have been doing is telling cheap lies even the one that a 3 years old child in cresh education would know that they are not just lying but telling a Blatant lies.
