The Peoples Democratic Party says leaders of the All
Progressives Congress have continued to betray their inner
aversion towards the candidacy of Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.) and have abandoned his campaigns for the
February 14 presidential election.
The PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in
a statement in Abuja on Saturday, said most leaders of the
APC did not believe in the personality of Buhari, resulting in
flip-flops and double standards that have been the fate of
his presidential campaign.
Metuh said key APC leaders such as former Vice President,
Atiku Abubakar; Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso;
and presidential aspirant, Sam Nda-Isaiah, have since
abandoned Buhari.
But the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation dismissed
as utterly false and ridiculous the claims by the ruling PDP.
A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the
campaign, Garba Shehu, stated that there was no iota of
truth in the claim that Atiku or other party stalwarts have
distanced themselves from the campaign.
According to the statement, contrary to the deliberate
falsehood being peddled by PDP, the former vice president
is currently out of the country for medical examination, and
that he would be actively involved in the campaign once he
is back to the country from next week.
Shehu emphasised that Atiku’s commitment to the
campaign in Adamawa State and the nation “is total” and
that “no amount of PDP’s desperate tactics of deliberate
falsehoods would break the unity of the APC leaders.”
The statement said the PDP allegation was a figment of
their own imagination in order to weaken the cohesion
within the opposition members, adding that the “ruling party
is increasingly nervous as the February 14 elections
approaches.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
