Press Statement
…Says APC is a Den of Thieves and Looters
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes as laughable, infantile and
diversionary, reports being sponsored by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) that there are disagreements in the PDP over the handling of our
Presidential campaign funds.
The party says for the APC and agents of the Buhari Campaign to descend
to the level of fabricating stories to create a non existent scenario
shows that the ruling party and the Buhari Presidency have finally come
to their wits end and are now suffering a pre-defeat trauma.
The PDP is aware that the Buhari Presidency and the APC have become so
frustrated over their dwindled electoral fortune in the face of the
soaring popularity of the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that they
are now attempting to inject crisis into the PDP campaign in order to
divert public attention from their own failures and rejection.
For President Buhari’s information, the Atiku Abubakar campaign is owned
and driven by the Nigerian public and will never have the kind of rift
that have been ravaging the APC campaign, where their leaders, including
their National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, went on the run from security
agencies over allegations of siphoning funds from aspirants and
candidates.
Unlike the Buhari Campaign Organization, which is practically a den of
looters and sanctuary of persons indicted for corruption, which have
been running its campaigns with looted funds, the Atiku Presidential
campaign have been running a transparent and people-driven campaign,
anchored on the volunteered support of overwhelming majority of
Nigerians.
The PDP therefore counsels President Buhari and the APC to note that
their resort to smear campaign will not help their cause, as Nigerians
would never be distracted from their collective resolve to vote in Atiku
Abubakar as the next President, following his proven capacity and will
to return our country to the path of national cohesion and economic
prosperity.
