The presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has described the All
Progressives Congress, APC, as home to hypocrites who speak from both sides of
the mouth.
Atiku said that rather than
providing evidence to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s supposed victory at
the poll, chieftains of the ruling party were busy chasing trivialities to
hoodwink innocent Nigerians.
The former Vice President stated
this through a spokesman of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, Kassim
Afegbua in a chat with Vanguard on Thursday.
He tasked the APC and its leaders
to take a trip down memory lane to recall how they once described Atiku in
superlative terms only to turn around to question his nationality because he
challenged the outcome of the elections.
He said, “The APC are just a
bunch of very hypocritical characters who are chasing shadow instead of
substance, in an election they massively rigged to profit themselves.
“Rather than present their
defence, they are busy running from pillar to post, diverting attention from
the real issues concerning the election.
“At first, they said Atiku
Abubakar was not a Nigerian. Again, they said we hacked the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC server.
“Later when they heard INEC
disowned hacking, they now said no results existed in the server. They have
been vacillating from one ridiculous theme to another, without addressing the
critical issues of electoral fraud in defence of their dubious victory.
“When Atiku Abubakar was donating
money to them in the APC, they decorated him with golden ornaments; when he was
providing logistics, they were all swarming around him, calling him the great
Waziri.
“In fact, you need to go back and
read all the eloquent tributes that were poured on him as a great Nigerian, but
as soon as he opted to confront the APC in the 2019 elections, they started
using the same mouths to denigrate him.
“Those who preached integrity
suddenly joined the hypocritical chorus, sheer double standards and a character
profiling that exposes the dubiety of those APC chieftains.
“Suddenly they remembered that
Atiku is no longer a Nigerian, a former Vice President at that, a business
tycoon whose productivity is not in doubt. A man who has impacted positively on
thousands of Nigerians by way of employment.
“But we will not be distracted by
their double speak. Nigerians know that Atiku Abubakar won the election and
even the APC knows that in the hearts of Nigerians, they didnt win the
election, but we will shock them with further proofs at the tribunal.
“Just imagine the level of
killings, kidnappings and banditry across the country. Even, the president’s
home state of Katsina has been invaded by bandits and kidnappers.
“That has been the level of rot
and insecurity, and you think Nigerians truly voted for such a decadent system
under a leadership that jets out of the country each time we are in serious
trouble? No, it is not possible. Nigerians are very wise and very informed
citizens.
“They could not have voted for
such a leadership that has impoverished them and plunged them into hunger and
poverty, more hardship and deprivations in the past four years.”
