The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described as a face-saving measure the decision by the PDP to pull the brakes on its electioneering campaign over Justice Walter Onnoghen's suspension, saying the PDP's campaign never gained traction in the first instance.

Responding to reporters’ question in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Saturday, on the suspension of the PDP's campaign, the Minister said: ''Which Campaign? Their campaign was over a long time ago. There is nothing to suspend. We said it that their campaign had floundered. You can now see. What they are doing now is looking for a face-saving way out of a dead and buried campaign.''

He wondered why the PDP is crying more than the bereaved, and asked the opposition party whether Justice Onnoghen is one of its members.

“And in any event, let’s ask them this question: Is there something that they know that we don’t know? Is there something between them and the suspended CJN? Otherwise, we did not see why they should suspend their campaign anyway, but I can understand that their campaign was bound to end this way,” Alhaji Mohammed said.

He said while Nigerians have been trooping out in large numbers wherever the President’s campaign ship berths, the PDP supporters have been dwindling by the day.

On the outcry by some people and organizations over Justice Onnoghen's suspension, the Minister said it’s troubling that those who are crying foul over the suspension of the CJN have actually ignored the fact that a serving Chief Justice not only amassed millions of dollars in his account, but admitted that he forgot to declare same in his Assets Declaration Form.

“For anybody who read Mr. President’s address yesterday, two things stood out. The first is that additional evidence has just been revealed that the suspended CJN refused to declare millions of dollars in his possession. More worrisome is the fact that when the suspended CJN was confronted with the petition that he failed to declare his assets, he added that it was a mistake, that he forgot.

“Now, I would have been a happier person if the same people who are now crying tyranny and dictatorship could really address the issue raised by the President, in his address on Friday, that addition investigations have revealed that several millions of dollars were found in the CJN's account. And when the CJN was confronted with the original allegation, he admitted that he forgot to make full declaration, and that it was a mistake,'' he said.

On the constitutionality of the CJN's suspension, he faulted those claiming that the President acted outside of the Constitution, adding that in suspending Justice Onnoghen, the President merely carried out an order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing him to suspend the Chief Justice pending the final determination of the cases against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

OK.

Pdpigz are useless

Everyone knows this is true

Pdp just give up and go away —

Pdp are very useless
Meanwhile PMB in Ibadan today

Another lie

I speak directly to the Yoruba nation, looking at all Buharis appointments, do u ppl really think it is worth it voting this man again? According to Ahmadu Bello speech 11 days after Nigeria's independence. He said and I quote that " we (the northerners) must treat the new country Nigeria as a conquered territory of Utman Danfodio. We will use the minorities in the north as conquered slaves ( the civil war for Nigeria was forth majorly by the middle beltans, that is the minority and they suffered most casualties and remember Gowon led the war) and will never allow the south to achieved their destiny. With all Buharis actions with the herdsmen and his appointments don't we think he is carrying out ahmadu Bello's wish? Pls open ur eyes my dear south westerners.

They have to suspend their campaign as one of Dubai strategies has just been bursted.

Lai don't have anything to say again.

Liar Mohammed don open mouth again ooo. Always talking nonsense.

Ttr

Fact. Very corrupt eye-service party.

We will not be distracted from the Ononghen issue.

Lai should shut his chronic halitosis ravaged mouth except he has information for the international community who have now weighed in.

You don't know that the country as a whole as turn to nonsense' ...
Including you , using your stunned fingers to be typing nonsense ....

PDP doesn't have bearing even their campaigns has no focus.

They're weaklings looking for faults to score cheap political points.

The other day, they gave excuse for not debating and now the excuse for not campaigning is CJN suspension.

Very confused people.

keep fooling yourself lai
