President Buhari Campaign Organization has raised an alarm over
an alleged plan by PDP to release spurious allegations against Mr
president in the next few weeks.
The Campaign Organization’s Spokesperson, Festus Keyamo, SAN in
a press release said this and pointed out that it is too late to
impugn the integrity of President Buhari. He urged Nigerians to
brace up for the lies and ask the critical questions as to “where”,
“when”, “how”, names, dates, addresses, etc in respect of any
allegation raised by the opposition before giving any credence to
it.

ETISALAT AND KEYSTONE BANK SHARES: PUBLIC ALERT ON PLANS
BY PDP AND ATIKU TEAM TO RELEASE A SERIES OF WILD, UNSUBSTANTIATED
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.
With the latest refrain of the PDP linking some phantom shares
in Etisalat and Keystone bank to the ‘family’ of the President, we
have it on good authority that the Presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party and his party are set to release a series
of wild, unsubstantiated allegations against the President and Vice
President including their friends and family members, in the next
few weeks. With the latest revelation that the said shares are
rather linked to relatives of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, it has became
a case of the thief calling the farm owner the thief, as the
Yorubas would say in a popular proverb. These impending wild
allegations would naturally border on corrupt practices without any
evidential basis. The purpose is to attempt to dent the greatest
forte of the President and Vice President going into 2019
elections, which is their personal integrity. The latest tactics of
the main opposition is premised on the following grounds:
a) Since their stuttering campaigns started, they have felt the
pulse of Nigerians and realized Nigerians have not forgotten their
misdeeds of 16 years whilst in office.
b) They have decided to run a campaign of “we-are-all-corrupt”
rather than defend their sordid records of merciless looting of the
public purse, which has brought us to where we are today.
c) The aim is to push Nigerians to equate an Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar with President Muhammadu Buhari on matters of corruption.
They want to deceive Nigerians to think that the 2019 elections is
really a choice between two “corrupt” persons
d) By repeating the lies a million times, they aim to get
Nigerians to begin to give some serious thought to the lies. This
is how the “Jubrin from Sudan” story started, before even some
well-exposed and educated Nigerians were nearly converted on that
issue.
e) Their latest desperate diversionary tactics is because even
the most uneducated Nigerian has now understood that all the issues
upon which the main opposition is campaigning are self-indicting
issues, especially on the Economy and Security. The foundation for
the challenges in these sectors, are firmly rooted in their 16
years of disastrous governance. President Buhari has just started a
re-building process.
Nigerians should therefore brace up for six weeks of despicable
lies from the pit of hell against the President and Vice President,
to try to suggest to Nigerians that the President and his deputy
are part of the league of looters to which they belong. But
Nigerians should understand that the choices before them have never
been this clear: It is between a fugitive from the law in America
and a President who has never been accused of stealing anything in
his entire life and is respected both locally and internationally;
It is between a man who claims he wants to ‘get Nigeria working
again’ yet has always refused to pay his taxes AS AT WHEN DUE and a
man who has NEVER cheated the Nigerian State. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
has since kept an ominous silence over this damaging allegation of
irresponsible and deliberate tax evasion that is now before a court
of law.
Whilst the President and Vice President are prepared and willing
to answer any genuine inquiry raised about their stewardship,
Nigerians should always ask the critical questions as to “where”,
“when”, “how”, names, dates, addresses, etc in respect of any
allegation raised by the opposition before giving any credence to
it. This is because as the Atiku Campaign continues to fall apart
on a daily basis, we may hear such desperate allegation from them
that President Buhari has sold the buildings in Aso Rock to the
Israelis or Americans!!!
Nigerians should tell Alhaji Atiku Abubakar that it is too late
in the day to impugn the integrity of Mr. President, or to
“package” himself before Nigerians as a honest man. Nigerians only
need to read the book by his former boss, ex President, Olusegun
Obasanjo titled, “MY WATCH”.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar must bear the cross and tar of corruption
alone (as pronounced by the Congress in America and his former
boss). He should not drag President Muhammadu Buhari into that room
of moral debauchery with him.
Thank you.
