The presidency has denied that it
would not hand over to Muhammadu
Buhari if the opposition candidate is
elected in next month’s election.
Mr. Buhari’s campaign office had on
Saturday issued a statement saying
an official in the office of the
President’s Senior Special Assistant
on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, posted
the message on his social media
platforms.
“The Blackberry Messenger (BBM)
statement by Deji Adeyanju, an
official in the Office of the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on
Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, said
‘Buhari can never be President of
Nigeria. Quote me any day any time.
Instead of Buhari to become
President of Nigeria, Nigeria would
rather break. A military coup will even
be allowed than for Buhari to become
the president of a democratic Nigeria
quote me any day, any time,”
Buhari’s campaign said in the
statement by Garba Shehu, its
spokesperson.
Mr. Okupe’s office said the claim by
the Buhari campaign is false.
In a statement, Sunday, signed by
Bamidele Salam, the presidency said
“we categorically deny that this
statement was ever made by anyone
in this office.
“The APC claim is absolutely false,
mischievous and malicious,” it said.
Although, the Buhari campaign said
the alleged statements were posted
on Facebook and Blackberry
Messenger, the presidency made no
reference to the two platforms.
It however, said Mr. Okupe
“personally handles his Twitter, @
doyinokupe and other social Media
platforms and continues to use such
as a legitimate medium of advancing
the cause of democratic good
governance and institutional
integrity which President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan represents”.
It also said Mr. Okupe has never and
will never associate himself with
thoughts or actions which run
contrary to the tenets of democracy,
rule of law and the right of Nigerians
to freely elect those who govern them.
“We urge the APC to concentrate and
work more on clearing the name of its
Presidential candidate from the mess
of not having perquisite academic
certificates and incapacity to govern
Nigeria rather than seek a cheap
diversion from a phantom post by
some persons on the Social Media.
“We remain committed to running
campaigns based on those issues
which are pertinent to the growth and
stability of the Nigerian nation and
will not condescend to the known
antics of the opposition party in
blackmail, falsehood and crass
opportunism,” it said.
Also, in a separate statement by the
APC spokesperson, Lai Mohammed, the
party said it will neither accept an
interim government nor a
postponement of next month’s
elections.
Mr. Mohammed warned that any
attempt to scuttle the polls in
preference for any other
arrangement will be resisted by all
available constitutional means.
”We are aware that those who are
not comfortable with the turning of
the political tide in favour of the
opposition ahead of the elections are
scheming to abort a possible victory
for our party, through either an
interim government or a
postponement of the elections.
”These enemies of Nigeria include
those who are worried by the strong
anti-corruption stance of our party
and its avowed commitment to good
governance, and those who favour the
status quo of anything goes, bad
governance and massive corruption
that have left Nigerians deeply
pauperized and traumatized,” he
said, while making reference to the
alleged claim of Mr. Okupe’s aide.
”Our stand is simple but needs to be
restated,” the APC said.
“The 2015 general elections must hold
as scheduled all over Nigeria, and our
party is ready for the elections. As we
stated earlier, we will only accept the
outcome of a free, fair, credible and
transparent elections, not that of
manipulated polls. We will also not
agree to the postponement of next
month’s elections under any guise,
and an interim arrangement plot is
totally unacceptable to us. We
challenge the ruling PDP to also state
its own stand on next month’s polls
for the world to note.
”We also challenge the presidency to
state its own stand and to also
distance itself from the anarchic and
treasonable statement by one of its
own over the forthcoming polls.”
