President Buhari and Atiku
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that President
Muhammadu Buhari is frustrated over the successful trip of its
presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, to the
United States of America.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, who stated
this, yesterday, at a press briefing in Abuja, stressed that this is
the reason the federal government has resorted to mudslinging at the
former vice president.
The PDP spokesman was reacting to a statement by the Minister of
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed that Atiku will be questioned over
his alleged involvement in the collapse of Bank PHB, once he returns
from his US trip.
Ologbondiyan, who is also the director of Media and Publicity, PDP
Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO), said Atiku has no hand in the
issues that allegedly led to the collapse of Bank PHB. He stated that
the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) should know that
Nigerians have seen through their lies, fabrications and frustration,
noting that the plot against Atiku is dead on arrival.
“The world already knows that this attempt to mudsling our
presidential candidate is coming out of President Buhari’s frustration
over Atiku Abubakar’s successful outing in the United States, for which
the Buhari Presidency has gone into full hallucination. While we
understand that President Buhari and his dysfunctional All Progressives
Congress (APC) are jittery over Atiku Abubakar’s soaring popularity
ahead of the elections, it is reprehensible that Mr. President will
descend abysmally low to fabricate outright lies and falsehood in a bid
to discredit a more qualified and acceptable presidential candidate.
“The PPCO makes bold to state that Atiku Abubakar has nothing
to do with the alleged issues leading to the collapse of Bank PHB, but
is an honest and hard-working Nigerian who has no skeleton of any sort
in his cupboard, unlike President Buhari, who is now entangled in series
of corruption allegations,” he stated.
The opposition spokesman noted that even the Chairman of President
Buhari’s Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, had
said the Presidency has searched everywhere and could not find anything
incriminating against the former vice president.
Ologbondiyan noted that, “if anything, the PPCO will want
President Buhari to open the books and provide explanation for the N9
trillion stolen under his watch as Minister of Petroleum Resources as
detailed in the leaked NNPC memo.
“President Buhari should as well, allow an open inquest into
the alleged involvement of his relations in the N1.032 trillion alleged
corrupt acquisitions in 9Mobile and Keystone Bank PLC.”
