Lai Mohammed’s Disinformation Tactics - Abati by Maxymilliano(m): 8:29pm On Apr 07, 2013 |
STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE Lai Mohammed’s Public Disinformation Tactics In a previous press statement, we had pointed out that a well organized campaign by the opposition designed to mislead the public, discredit the person and office of President Goodluck Jonathan, and cause disaffection within the polity appears to be well afoot. That there is an emerging pattern of disinformation and politics by trickery, orchestrated by Lai Mohammed and his ilk which is unsuitable to our democratic experience is now no longer in doubt. We have been proven right, once more, with the deliberate disinformation engaged in today by the National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Alhaji Lai Mohammed. Recall that last week, we were regaled with the publication of a fictitious “Presidential Directive” on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC and other matters which turned out to be a dubious bromide containing nothing more than “a mishmash of carefully arranged and concocted lies, presented to the public as evidence of a document emanating from the presidency.” A press conference in Lagos, this Thanksgiving Sunday, addressed by Alhaji Lai Mohammed continued this pattern when he alleged that the Federal Government was deliberately promoting policies that will plunge the nation into crisis with the objective of scuttling the 2015 elections. He tried to exploit real challenges confronting the nation by instilling fear in the populace through the use of unrelated events; hoping to use such patterns and trends to build a conspiratorial case. Like all conspiracies, the case made fell quickly like a pack of cards when confronted with the facts. It is a fact that President Goodluck Jonathan has presided over major elections since his assumption of office – the 2011 general elections, the 2012 state gubernatorial elections in Edo, Kogi, Adamawa, Sokoto, Cross River and Bayelsa as well as other elections in different parts of the country; which were all adjudged by local and international observers as free, fair and peaceful. Indeed, President Jonathan’s commitment to electoral reforms which is founded on the ‘one man-one vote’ ethos underscores the administration’ s belief and commitment to an emerging political culture that is inclusive, participatory and transparent. When juxtaposed against Lai Mohammed’s allegations, it would appear to any discerning citizen that Alhaji Mohammed is engaged in disinformation, the likes of which we heard ahead of the elections referenced above, thus suggesting a well worn tactic. The integrity of elections is without doubt one of the major achievements of this administration. It remains a legacy issue for President Jonathan. Lai Mohammed’s allegations of tenure elongation, instigation of violence, likely emergency rule, and a sinister plan that will make free and fair elections impossible in 2015 are entirely hollow and a figment of his imagination. More specifically and to buttress his conspiratorial claim, the ACN spokesman alleged that the Federal Government has awarded an oil pipeline protection contract to serve as a smokescreen to fund activities that would create chaos in the South-West. Fact is, no such contract was ever awarded by this administration. The more alarming aspect of the disingenuous press conference was the deliberate attempt to exploit religious and ethnic differences amongst citizens to create a state of siege and fear ahead of the 2015 elections. This was clear in the use of the national Boko Haram crisis and the ‘terror-baiting ’ of the populace. Is the ACN hatching a plot of electoral violence through auto-suggestion ? While it is legitimate to seek political power, the ACN has an obligation to be responsible with facts and remain truthful with the evidence at all times; and to engage the government of the day constructively on issues of national importance; and not negatively Consistently stitching together a tissue of lies, extracted from a fantastic imagination, with the intention to scare and mislead the public belongs to the realm of jungle politics we are all happy to be rid of. We urge the public to pay careful attention to the tactics of those who believe that by crying wolf where none exists, they can create doubt about the efforts of the Jonathan administration. These allegations are blatantly false and grossly misleading.

Reuben Abati is a senseless arselicking person who's stock-in-trade is deceiving gullible fools whise IQ is as low as his Aso rock scumbag's.. 1. Reuben Abati should tell us why GEJ's Bayelsa state is housing terrorists in Lagis State?? 2. Why did GEJ award a contract to a group to do something that's the prerogative of the NSCDC, Police and Navy?? GEJ is sending money to arm thugs in the South-West ahead of 2015. Abati is a shameless swine who instead of addressing questions and issues raise by Lai Mohammed is busy speaking meaningless grammar to confuse fools who are intellectually as inept as the Aso-rock retardeen... . . 7 Likes

It's all about staging and promoting violence.you should not inflict on this forum your inability to read and write. The case of giving law enforcement duties to private citizens as stated by Alhaji Lie Muhammad was clearly refuted by Abatti and made bold for dumbasses like you to see clearly. The claim is as false as Tinubu having a university of Toronto degree |

the problem with this country is educated illiterate. To those who suscribe to Abati letter towards good service to his boss but to the deterement of his goodwill, i satulet your senselessness and zombie adaptation. one certain thing is that we are all iin it together and the consequence will definately spare no one. the failure in Nigeria government is becoming too open to the blind and alarm by those with interest of seein Nigeria moving in right ddirection is also audible to deaf among us. invention of technology has made irregularity in the government exposed to the extent that those whom initially shown no concern with the way Nigeria govt has subject them to slave in their father land now wake up to say enough is enough, this was display when president wake up in the new year and impose the must deadly hardship on them in the name of unreal subsidy removal. Have you all ask your goverment how far he has gone and what has been in place as paliative measure in this regard? DO you ask him if it is true that he want to completely remove subsidy and as a result bring uncontrol hyper inflation that will see you hungary throughout your life? Subsidy theft is wost than noicy opc contract, and this is mere to brutalities impose on the nation by present govt. corruption now has become way of life. people bribe to get job. graduates have no hope. Education in Nigeria university is a shame. we have now been subjected to serve father that presently rulling us and subsequently serve their childrens because we cant say no to all these mess. shame on you all idiots! |

I have always said this here: PROPAGANDA ALMOST ALWAYS FAILS, EVENTUALI. PROPAGANDA, like LIES. From FORGING a False 'Bromide' Letter purportedly from the Presidency, to Allegation of Oil Contract to a Group in the SW, to False and malicious manipulation of the security happenings in the country in order to shamelessly attempt to gain politically from it, to the usual NOISEMAKING- the ACN PROPAGANDA Machine, led by Lai Mohammed, ought t be thoroughly ASHAMED of themselves!!

Sincere 9gerian: Lai Muhammed, the LIAR, have done it again. You mean PDP, right? This same Reuben Abati that lied that Patience went for vacation in Germany while she was a patient in an hospital! PDP thrives on lies. Errmm the greatest lie in the world is "Fresh air". What is fresh air? Are they going to distribute air freshner to every home? Or is PDP starting a fresh air company? Another lie was "I had no shoes". How does that affect the lives of the electorate? Someone who really had no shoe would provide shoes all for Niger delta kids by now. Mind you "shoe" is a figurative word here. Some people fell for it though. Campaign filled with lies. PDP came up with Vision 2010. Vision 2010 was the year the party enriched themselves the most. Now, its Vision 2020...Now its "Nigeria will be in the top 20 economy by 2050" while they racket money into swiss accounts. LIARS If nigerians have a good memory, they'd remember when GEJ said Boko Haram will end by June 2012. He also said electricity problems would end in 4months. How many jobs did he say he was gonna create each year? He even said he was gonna spend a single term. After three months in power he tried to change the constitution to make single term last 7years. Or didn't y'all remember that he said he would fight corruption? LIES. "A committee to give a white paper report on Ribadu's subsidy recommendations" LIES! "We will provide energy saving bulbs to each home" LIES. The good news is that our senses are keener. We know the party is filled with lies and we want change. God bless Nigeria! Frawzey 6 Likes |

taharqa: My good friend, Mr Taharqa , propaganda is allowed in politics but reality prevails. All what I wrote were said by GEJ and his party. I don't have time to do some internet sleuthing tonight as I wanna hit the sack. But read this quote from this article where Abati said: “a mishmash of carefully arranged and concocted lies, presented to the public as evidence of a document emanating from the presidency.” This was exactly what Abati did when Patience Jonathan went to Germany. He concocted a script to the public that she went on vacation while she came back to testify that God saved her life. Pot calling the kettle black. Frawzey |

ayox2003: What you wrote about the President in yur previous comment isn't PROPAGANDA nor is it really LIES per se (except for one). - WHen a President any where in the world say they would do a particular thing at a specific time, they are not called LIARS or Propagandists if they fail to meet up, cos there are usually other complex factors in Matters of Sate that may slow the attainment of that PLEDGE. The President said he would tame BH at a specific time. He didnt LIe. He and his Security Chiefs did their Best but the problem is unfortunately still with us, albeit on a much lower frequency than it was when he made that pledge. He NEVER LIED. - He Never said that he was going to solve Power plroblem in 4 months (that was your own LIE there) 3 Likes |
