Garba Shehu, presidential
spokesman, has called on the national peace committee to act on an alleged
violation of the peace accord by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The peace accord was signed by
presidential candidates of different political parties ahead of the general
election.
In a statement on Tuesday, Shehu
accused the PDP presidential campaign organisation of “bad faith, character
assassination and inflammatory utterances”.
According to NAN, Shehu said the
“open and unsubstantiated allegations” against the president’s family by the
Atiku Abubakar media campaign contravened the spirit of the peace accord.
He said it was irresponsible of
the PDP to go public with allegations that it could not prove.
“Dragging the President’s family
into the campaign and accusing them of wrongdoing without producing
unassailable evidence, amounts to an act of bad faith and malice,” the
statement read.
“Instead of concentrating their
efforts on persuading Nigerians on why they should be trusted to rule again
after 16 years of failure, the PDP presidential campaign organisation is
seeking to divert public attention from the large scale corruption and havoc it
wrecked on the country during its 16 years of misrule.
“Instead, they are ridiculously
expecting the accused to prove their own allegations instead of it being the
other way round.
“It is sheer desperation and a
clear sign of disarray in the PDP campaign.”
