The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said in a statement on Saturday that most leaders of the APC do not believe in the personality of Mr. Buhari, resulting in flip-flops and double standards that have been the fate of his presidential campaign.
The PDP said while key APC leaders such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential aspirant, Sam Nda-Isaiah have since abandoned Mr. Buhari and his rickety campaign to an inclement fate, Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has not been able to hide his preference for a younger, more educated and more articulate President who is able to connect with the current generation of citizens as embodied in President Goodluck Jonathan.
The PDP said the APC has remained a party of deceitful persons who specialize in treachery, lies and cheap blackmail. It recalled that the APC, a party which descended so low to lie about the age of its 53 years old youth leader, had also in June last year issued a statement wherein it alleged that a plane carrying Kano state Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to attend an APC rally in Ekiti to support former Governor Kayode Fayemi’s re-election bid was denied landing permission in Akure, only for Kwankwaso’s Director of Press Affairs, Baba Dantiye, to announce that his boss was at another event in Kano and had no plans to travel to Ekiti state.
It also recalled that in August last year, the APC queried the presence of officials of the Department of State Service (DSS) in Osun state ahead of the August 9, 2014 governorship election, when in actual fact, the APC governor of Osun state also formally requested for their deployment.
“Lately, this same party devised means to hack into INEC’s data-base, clone the Permanent Voter’s Card and ultimately compromise the outcome of the elections yet has continued to deny even in the face of clear proof of culpability,” the PDP claimed.
Calling on Nigerians to note that the APC is a party of dubious and unreliable persons pursuing narrow and parochial interests, the PDP urged them to continue to rally round President Jonathan, who has consistently shown his sincerity and forthrightness on all national issues.
