“We really must stop this habit of blaming President (Muhammadu)
Buhari for everything, including issues that are not his
business.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, was quoted as saying this during an
interview with reporters on Tuesday in Abuja.
He was responding to the various reactions trailing the outcomes
of the governorship elections conducted by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kogi and Bayelsa States.
Governor Yahaya Bello and Mr David Lyon of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) defeated Mr Musa Wada and Senator Douye Diri of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi and Bayelsa States
respectively.
Speaking specifically about the election in Bayelsa, Shehu
faulted the purported reports that former President Goodluck
Jonathan was blackmailed to support the APC.
He described such claims as false and irresponsible, wondering
how such a story could be considered credible to the extent of
being given space in some newspapers.
“It just doesn’t make any sense,” the President’s spokesman was
quoted as saying in a statement by a deputy director of
information, Abiodun Oladunjoye.
He stressed, “Our media really must learn to verify whatever
they publish and people who make wild allegations during interviews
should be made to produce the facts backing their claims by
editors.”
“A newspaper can be sued for granting space to people who belch
false allegations against individuals with no proof,” Shehu
warned.
He noted that former President Jonathan had been out of power
for about five years without any previous allegations of government
blackmail cropping up.
Shehu, however, purported that there were more than enough
reasons for Dr Jonathan to work against his party in the just
concluded election in Bayelsa without interference by President
Buhari.
He alleged, “Anyone who has been following the politics of
Bayelsa State should be aware of the sour relationship between Dr
Jonathan and the incumbent governor, Seriake Dickson.
“That’s more than enough reason for the former president to
decide to work against his party, if indeed he did.”
