The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is after power to escape justice
from crimes it allegedly committed against Nigerians.
Phrank Shaibu, special assistant
to the PDP presidential candidate on media, had called for a probe into an
alleged link between President Muhammadu Buhari and Etisalat Nigeria.
Reacting in a statement on Thursday,
Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, said Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential
candidate, should tell Nigerians why he wants to be president instead “of
raising puerile allegations on a daily basis”.
Issa-Onilu said Nigerians are
desirous of a campaign that focuses on issues that matter to them.
“The PDP presidential candidate,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is exhibiting early signs of depression, resulting from
obvious frustration. Consequently, he is unable to focus on his campaign,” he
said.
“Otherwise, Atiku should tell
Nigerians why a discredited person like him should be elected as president
instead of raising puerile allegations on a daily basis.
“President Muhammadu Buhari and
the APC, not his programmes for the country appear to be his main campaign issues.
“For Atiku and his PDP
co-travellers, the only interest is to grab power and continue where they
stopped in their avarice. The APC administration is eager to showcase the
impressive achievements we have recorded in the last three and half years.
“This is the campaign that
matters to us and this is what Nigerians are interested in. The trajectory is
exciting as we see a brighter future shaping up. We won’t yield to the PDP’s
shenanigans. The obvious strategy of the PDP is to truncate the country’s journey
towards economic buoyancy and social stability.
“We will not play the PDP’s game.
PDP is acting an anti-people’s script. President Buhari remains unshaken by the
desperate efforts being made by Atiku and the PDP to blackmail the APC
government. Everyone who was involved in corrupt practices would be brought to
justice.
“PDP is not offering any
alternative to the progressive course this government is pursuing. It is
actually apparent that the party is not contesting the 2019 elections to redeem
itself, least of doing any good for the country, but simply to seize power to
escape justice for the grievous crimes committed against the people of this
country.”
