President Muhammadu Buhari
Campaign Organisation (PMBCO) has raised alarm over plans by People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) to release a series of wild, unsubstantiated allegations
against President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
The Director of Strategic
Communication, PMBCO, Mr Festus Keyamo, stated this in a statement entitled
“Etisalat and Keystone Bank: Public alert on plans by PDP and Atiku team to
release a series of wild, unsubstantiated allegations against the President and
Vice-President’’, issued on Thursday night in Abuja.
Keyamo stated that latest
information reaching the PMBCO had indicated that the PDP maybe linking some
phantom shares in Etisalat and Keystone bank to the ‘family’, friends of the
president and vice-president.
He, however, maintained that with
the latest revelation that the said shares were rather linked to relatives of
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, “it has become a case of the thief calling the farm
owner the thief, as the Yorubas would say in a popular proverb.’’
He said these impending wild
allegations would naturally border on corrupt practices without evidence.
According to him, the purpose is
to attempt to dent the forte of the President and Vice President going into
2019 elections, which is their personal integrity.
“Since their stuttering campaigns
started, they have felt the pulse of Nigerians and realized Nigerians have not
forgotten their misdeeds of 16 years whilst in office.
“They have decided to run a
campaign of “we-are-all-corrupt” rather than defend their sordid records of
merciless looting of the public purse, which has brought us to where we are
today.
“The aim is to push Nigerians to
equate an Alhaji Atiku Abubakar with President Muhammadu Buhari on matters of
corruption. They want to deceive Nigerians to think that the 2019 elections is
really a choice between two “corrupt” persons
“By repeating the lies a million
times, they aim to get Nigerians to begin to give some serious thought to the
lies. This is how the “Jubrin from Sudan” story started, before even some
well-exposed and educated Nigerians were nearly converted on that issue.
“Their latest desperate
diversionary tactics is because even the most uneducated Nigerian has now
understood that all the issues upon which the main opposition is campaigning
are self-indicting issues, especially on the Economy and Security.
“The foundation for the challenges
in these sectors, are firmly rooted in their 16 years of disastrous governance.
President Buhari has just started a re-building process.’’
Keyamo, therefore, alerted
Nigerians “to brace up for six weeks of despicable lies from the pit of hell
against the President and Vice President, to try to suggest to Nigerians that
the President and his deputy are part of the league of looters to which they
belong’’.
He, however, maintained that
Nigerians should understand that the choices before them had never been this
clear, saying that “it is between a fugitive from the law in America and a
President who has never been accused of stealing anything in his entire life
and is respected both locally and internationally.
“It is between a man who claims
he wants to ‘get Nigeria working again’ yet has always refused to pay his taxes
AS AT WHEN DUE and a man who has NEVER cheated the Nigerian State.
“Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has since
kept an ominous silence over this damaging allegation of irresponsible and
deliberate tax evasion that is now before a court of law.
“Whilst the President and Vice
President are prepared and willing to answer any genuine inquiry raised about
their stewardship, Nigerians should always ask the critical questions as to
“where”, “when”, “how”, names, dates, addresses, etc in respect of any
allegation raised by the opposition before giving any credence to it.
“This is because as the Atiku
Campaign continues to fall apart on a daily basis, we may hear such desperate
allegations from them that President Buhari has sold the buildings in Aso Rock
to the Israelis or Americans!!!
“Nigerians should tell Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar that it is too late in the day to impugn the integrity of Mr
President or to “package” himself before Nigerians as an honest man. Nigerians
only need to read the book by his former boss, ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo
titled, “MY WATCH”.
Keyamo, who is the official
spokesperson of the PMBCO, said Atiku Abubakar must bear the cross and tar of
corruption alone (as pronounced by the Congress in America and his former
boss).
He also advised the PDP
presidential candidate not to drag President Buhari into that `room of moral
debauchery with him’’.
