The All Progressives Party (APC),
Nigeria’s main opposition party,
which hired foreign public relations
company, Burson Marsteller, is indeed
a co-founder of the Bring Back Our
Girls movement, the PR giant
confirmed over the weekend.
The revelation counters APC’s
repeated denials that it had no hand
in the formation or operations of the
Bring Back Our Girls movement, a
group pressing the federal
government to do more to free the
over 230 schoolgirls forcefully
abducted by the Boko Haram in
Chibok, Borno State, about three
months ago.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
controlled Nigerian government,
which has had spats with the Bring
Back Our Girls movement, has
severally accused the APC of
hijacking and using the movement as
a political weapon to harass and
embarrass government over the
unfortunate abductions.
A weekend news report in The Hill, a
Washington DC based newspaper,
that covers the US congress, said
Burson-Marsteller also confirmed
that it was also hired by the APC,
which is presently battling
allegations that its leaders are
sympathetic to the Boko Haram, an
Islamic terrorist group operating
mainly in northern Nigeria, to arrange
a single meeting with unidentified
persons in the Obama administration
in Washington D.C.
“The firm was originally approached
to support a one-off visit to
Washington, D.C. by the co-founder of
the ‘Bring Back Your [sic] Girls’
campaign and other APC officials.
But the visit was called off,” a
spokeswoman from Burson-
Marsteller wrote in an email.
We are in the process of de-
registering with FARA [the Foreign
Agents Registration Act], the PR firm
said according to the newspaper,
confirming THEWILL’s earlier report
that the APC paid the PR firm $100,
000 for the botched meeting.
Mr. Lai Mohammed, APC’s National
Publicity Secretary did not respond to
our calls as at the time of filing this
report.

This is how PDP live in denial. Rather than admit that they've failed, they look for whom to blame.

And this is their best shot
