The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes as “a deceptive window-dressing to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians” the release, by an aide of the President, of a mere list of some belongings of President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, in place of the pledge made to Nigerians by Mr. President as candidate of the APC on March 18, 2015, at exactly 5 pm.
The party recalled that the President in his own words had stated to Nigerians that, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liability and also encourage my political appointees to publicly declare their assets and liability.”
The PDP however, observed that President Buhari and his vice failed to produce copies of their declarations, detailing the exact nature and value of respective assets.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Friday said “the release of a mere list of belongings falls short of credibility, transparency and anti-corruption standards as well as exposes the proclivity of the present administration for deception.”
“We have noted the release of a flimsy list of belongings of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by the Presidency, who want such to pass as the public declaration of assets as pledged by the President.
“Nigerians are not deceived by this poor attempt at window-dressing designed by the Presidency to hoodwink the unsuspecting populace in a desperate bid to shore up its diminished image.
“We ask, is the resort to a mere list, instead of true copies of the declaration not a ploy to give the Presidency a window for denial in consonance with their widely observed inclination for flip flopping, backtracking and brazen denials of their statements and actions?
“All we want is credibility, integrity and sincerity of purpose. We are not questioning how a President, who by December last year, declared that he had only N1 million in his account, could suddenly now list N30 million in the same bank account by May 29, and after an expensive campaign; we are not yet demanding the public declaration of his assets in his wife’s name.
“We are not even applauding the multiplication of his cows from 150 to 250 in a space of three months, arising from his dual and conflicting pronouncements on this issue
“What the PDP and discerning Nigerians demand is for Mr. President to always stand by his words and pledge.
“Mr. President, this is a mere list of your belongings and not public declaration of assets in fulfillment of your covenant with Nigerians” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Yeye PDP of course I expect nothing better from ' I give no darm Party"
ReplyDeleteHummm. Let us call a spade a spade. This is a man who made an effort to be transparent by letting people know his assets. Instead of praising him you are criticising him. Does anyone know anything abt the assets of immediate past President? Don't let us play politics of bitterness. Let us learn how to appreciate good things irrespective of our political affiliations.
ReplyDeleteOlisah metuh and his bunch of Politically Displaced People aka PDP are only running their mouth like broken car exhaust. They ought to be ashamed of themselves what did their Oga Jonathan tendered? At least APC have set a standard and a precedence...

ReplyDeleteAre you alright at all? Please rephrase what you just wrote or else you will be counted as one of the students of the OTUEKE FAKE PHD holder!
DeleteShut ur mouth...y shuld he rephrase....everybody has d right to err his/her opinion...
DeleteI am persuaded to believe that the heroin and cocaine that the PDP bought with our money while in government is yet to be exhausted. Otherwise, they would not come out criticizing the declaration of assets by PMB and his Vice, no matter how flimsy. In all the 16 years the PDP was in government, did any one, anyone at all come out to declare his assets? Did Metuh even file anything with the CCB? They all didn't give a damn!
ReplyDeleteThis Metuh guy needs to know how to be a proper opposition spokesman, you don't have to comment on everything the APC does. Criticism must be constructive and must be in line with the wishes of the people. If Buhari eats, you talk, he drinks water, makes a fone call even if he sleeps, you criticise. Bros, your style is not working o
ReplyDeleteNa only APC style dey work. APC is the perfect party dat is always good at what they do. When APC talks you swallow it hard and sinks down. You remember say APC is made up of so many old recircled politicians in new clothings dat took the country backwards. New cloth no dey change person o. One thing you should also know is dat Journalists ask for their views most times in all those their talk talk programmes. Pls we dey enjoy d actions and reactions. Make dem continue.
