The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, on Sunday reacted to claim by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed that its 2019 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar was plotting to
overthrow the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
Recall that
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, at the 2019 edition
of the Annual Ramadan Lecture held at Oro, Kwara State, declared that the
opposition were trying to “reverse” democracy.
Mohammed had said Atiku and the
PDP were working to make Nigeria ungovernable with the intention of
overthrowing President Buhari.
He had made the allegation at the
2019 edition of the Annual Ramadan Lecture held at Oro, Kwara State.
Ologbondiyan alleged that APC was
plotting to fabricate accusations against the PDP and Atiku.
The statement reads: “To say the
least, despicable that in their desperation to hold on to power at all costs,
President Buhari’s handlers and the APC engaged in this sneaky disinformation,
internet lies and smear campaigns against PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar.
“It is also unpardonable that
instead of owning up, the Federal Government and the APC, through the Minister
of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, are seeking to cover their tracks and
divert public attention from their devious acts by making unsubstantiated
security
“The Facebook revelation exposes
how President Buhari, in his claimed integrity, allowed the enlisting of
criminals, hackers and internet fraudsters in the desperate attempt to
manipulate the views of Nigerians against Atiku Abubakar; a scheme which failed
as Nigerians had already made up their minds to do away with the incompetent,
deceptive, vindictive and corrupt APC administration.
“Our party has information of how
the APC had to resort to crude manipulation of the electoral process to muscle
votes and alter election results after it failed in the smear campaign project.
“The APC has now commenced a
renewed plot to engage in fabricated security accusations against the PDP and
our Presidential candidate in another desperate stunt to play the victim and
divert attention from its endless election manipulations, all in the ill-fated
attempt to demonize the PDP, hoodwink Nigerians and confer legitimacy on the
outcome of the rigged election.”
