Garba Shehu, Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity has accused the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) of spreading fake news.
He said this in reaction to the
reports that the account of the PDP vice presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was
frozen.
Shehu also commented on alleged
raid of the residence of PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s sons by
operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The statement he issued Monday
evening read, ‘The story about the raid ‘ordered by Buhari-led government’ on
the home of PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s son and the fairy tale
on the alleged blockage of the bank accounts of the running mate, [former]
Governor Peter Obi and his family are both untrue, and should be dismissed as
just another manifestation of the PDP’s growing expertise in fake news.
“Nigerians must be becoming wary
by now, of a political party with absolutely nothing to offer in the coming
elections and has instead, transformed into a knight in shining armor, slaying
the truth. In this so-called transformation, PDP has changed into nothing but
to a ceaselessly flowing stream of fake news.
“It is impossible to find in
Nigeria today, anyone propagating fake news more than the PDP. Our advice to
Nigerians is: Ignore them.”
