The camp of the Vice President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the meeting recently held in Dubai by the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar was targetted at the reputation of the Vice President.
Osinbajo’s camp claimed that the
PDP and Atiku were targeting the Vice President by spreading negative and false
news ahead of next year’s Presidential elections.
A top Presidency source revealed that the plan in Dubai, United Arab Emirates was designed to ensure
that the VP’s populist imagery is damaged in the media by making all attempts
to discredit him.
The source said, “The diabolical
plan by PDP is already in place. We can see it in motion that is how this party
operates. In the last two weeks, they have concentrated their effort on the VP
in a bid to assail his credibility.
“For example, the recent but
misrepresented House of Representatives report which was read on the floor of
the House was written in Dubai and overseen by the Speaker of the House, Yakubu
Dogara.
“It is also part of the Dubai
resolution to try and weaken the drive of the VP regarding the Buhari Social
Investment Programme.
“This explains the coordinated
attacks on the TraderMoni scheme, as the party and their cronies have started
bashing it as an advanced voter buying agenda.
The source added that the fear
expressed at the Dubai meeting was that if the scheme was not diminished, it’s
acceptance with the people will become an herculean task for the PDP and its
Presidential candidate to overcome.
The source added, “They want to impoverish
the people forever, but this government has changed that, Nigerians are wiser
now and are aware that the corrupt government of the PDP is always designed to
help only a few at the top.”
The source explained further that
the PDP has identified VP Osinbajo as the success poster boy of the APC and see
him as one who must be tainted.
“We must put him on the back
foot. It is important to destroy his character ahead of the elections because
of the favourable perception that many Nigerians have of him, his capacity and
the programs and to reduce the South West support for him as a part of this
administration”.
The sources continued that the
meeting noted that the VP’s Christian character must be impugned and maligned
seriously.
Speaking further, Akinloye
outlined some of the strategies of the PDP which was received from a leader in
the opposition party.
“At the Dubai meeting, the PDP
agreed to do a vigorous opposition research to discredit him (Osinbajo), his
family, his faith and programs.
“They also agreed to commission
moles and other agents to dig up dirt on subject.
“They also agreed to utilize the
National Assembly to undertake series of bogus investigations to discredit him
and his programs (particularly the Social Investments Programme).”
