The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) on Wednesday accused the “Presidency of round-tripping the N45 million
claimed to have been contributed by a ‘shadowy’ group to buy the All
Progressives Congress (APC) presidential nomination form for President
Muhammadu Buhari.”
PDP noted that Buhari’s
inability, as “Mr. Integrity”, to explain the “registration status, membership
and source of funding of the shadowy group exposes the charade in the latest
failed endorsement stunt.”
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said it is “laughable, that the Buhari
Presidency does not realize that such stunts have become out-worn and cannot
sway opinion in a country with citizens as enlightened as Nigerians.
“Most Nigerians already know how
some officials at the Buhari presidency, made up of corrupt individuals,
racketeers and certificate forgers, hurriedly assembled the group and mobilised
them with N45 million for the APC presidential nomination form, which was hiked
to scare away other contestants.
“How members of the group were
settled for the stunt as well the issues and disagreements that arose from the
deal are also known to many Nigerians.
“What Mr. President’s handlers
are hiding from him is the fact that Nigerians do not believe the falsehood
that a set of individuals, facing the challenges of abysmally low purchasing
power, put together a wholesome N45m to buy him a form.
“Nigerians are still waiting for
him to make public the proof of registration, membership, list of individual
contributors and amount contributed by these shadowy individual members.
“We also challenge President
Buhari to make public the official correspondences of the 12 million members of
the Rice Farmers Association, members of the Fertilizer Producers Association
and the members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association who, he
claimed, offered to buy nomination form for him.
“Moreover, the PDP described as
unpresidential, the outbursts credited to President Buhari against those who
left the APC noting that such was an unwarranted attack on innocent Nigerians
whose only offence is that they chose to abandon his derelict sinking ship, APC.
“Finally, the PDP counsels
President Buhari to forget the idea of painting himself as a lover of youths
and asking for funds from them, as his “lazy youth” comment and talking down on
young persons not to contest against him in the 2019 election, amply convey his
disdain for the Nigerian youths.”
