The General Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation has condemned what it described as desperate and despicable attempts by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to denigrate the person and impugn the character of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate.

It said the PDP is bewildered by the emergence of a politically and morally impregnable candidate on a popular national platform, the APC.

In a statement by its communications director Mr Dele Alake, the organisation described as absurd the claim by Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe that Buhari is trying to make poverty a virtue.

Okupe was quoted as saying: “Buhari is trying to make poverty a virtue but poverty is not a virtue. The fact that Buhari has left office for so long and says he is so poor, is nothing to celebrate, it is indeed indolence and shameful. Is that a role model? Is that who you will want your child to be, a poor man?”

The organisation said this “arrogant statement” demonstrates the utter alienation of the Jonathan administration from the existential realities of the vast majority of Nigerians.
