You Can’t Blackmail, Intimidate Us — PDP Tells Buhari by msmon(m): 5:06pm On Jun 29, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has said that no amount of
“intimidation, blackmail and
propaganda” by the Presidency
would stop it from demanding
that President Muhammadu
Buhari kick-starts government
and commence implementation
of his campaign promises for
which he was voted into office.
PDP had on Sunday said that
Mr. Buhari’s first 30 days in
office saw Nigeria only in
motion without movement.
Mr. Buhari promptly replied the
PDP saying he is taking his time
to clean the rot left by the party.

The PDP, however, said the
Presidency’s excuse of clearing
the “so-called Augean Stable” is
lame and diversionary noting
that it stands by its statement
that the delay is creating
loopholes through which some
persons claiming closeness to
the President have infiltrated
executive bodies, arm-twisting
and conniving with
unscrupulous elements in the
bureaucracy to syphon the
nation’s resources in the last 30
days.

The PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a
statement on Monday said the
party would not in any way be
cowed by threats and wild
allegations by the Presidency
into abdicating its responsibility
of speaking out as an opposition
party where the system is
derailing.

“The PDP and indeed all well-
meaning Nigerians were
appalled by the response from
the Presidency regarding our
call for prayers to enable
President Muhammadu Buhari-
led APC administration locate its
bearing, compose a government
and halt the prevailing
stagnation with its huge
negative impact on the system.
“Instead of addressing the issues
raised, the Presidency
descended to insults, abuses and
innuendos, a stance which not
only bears out the case made by the PDP but
also raises questions about the capacity of
this administration to shoulder the
enormous responsibility of governance.

“While we expect the present
administration to be serious about the fight
against corruption, probe and prosecute
each and everyone involved in such,
irrespective of their party leaning, we
restate that these must be done within the
ambits of the law and must not be used as a
witch-hunt ostensibly to discredit and
undermine the opposition. We therefore
caution against the current drama of
politicizing the issue of corruption in the
country.

“Furthermore, the analogy of the Augean
stable, is completely baffling to us at this
level as it goes to a great length to question
the capacity and the sincerity of those
around the president.
“In Greek mythology, Hercules in his
ingenuity took the task and efficiently
cleared the Augean’ stable in a day for
which he demanded a reward of a tenth of
fine cattle belonging to the king.

“Nigerians would not want to believe that in
the so-called clearing of the Augean stable,
although not delivering in one day,
President Buhari wants to play Hercules in
his demand, this time, by wanting to run the
government alone without the statutory
components of the executive as enshrined
in the constitution.

“We ask, is the so-called clearing of mess
responsible for his inability after 90 days of
winning an election to make up his mind on
rudimentary appointments such as
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Chief of Staff and his demand
for 15 Special Advisers as approved by the
PDP controlled Seventh Assembly since June
5, 2015?

“Perhaps we need to draw President
Buhari’s attention to the fact that while he
is busy clearing his imaginary mess on the
pages of newspapers, some persons
claiming closeness to him have in the last 30
days been piling up sleazes that also need
his attention in key agencies of government.
“Despite the absence of approving and
supervising officials, key income generating
institutions like NNPC, NIMASA, NPA, FIRS
and other strategic agencies have been
invaded by persons claiming to be friends
and associates of the President and this puts
to question the sincerity and seriousness of
the administration to affect the so-called
change upon which they rode to power.

“Auxiliary to this is the issue of the
construction of a helipad, amongst various
expenses and other major government
expenditure going on across board in the
last one month and without due supervision
as the eyes of the President cannot be
everywhere.

“We declare unequivocally that we do have
respect for the person and office of the
President especially considering his age and
status as an elder statesman. However, we
will like to make it very clear that the
President of the Federal Republic Nigeria is
neither a Sherriff in the Old Wild West nor
a military dictator in some Banana
Republic. He is an elected president under a
democratic setting.”

Dear PDP,

Mr President is taking time to clear the rot you people enshrined into the system; where recruitments were so fraudulent that the less competent graduates occupy our government establishments rather than the best, where ministries and parastatals were fraudulent empires rather than government institutions for development, where ministers and government staff were treasury usurpers rather than agents of development, where government officers now require more than their jumbo pay salaries to perform even below basic expectation, where government officials now leave their jobs to chase after contracts, jumbo pay approvals and allocations from the presidency, most of which are dedicated to internal consumption rather than project development etc etc etc..

It will take a little longer Mr PDP, I know that all you want now is to know who the ministers are so that you will "nicodemously" go and hustle for contracts; I know that your permanent suites at Sheraton paid with Nigeria's money are expiring soon and the plush life is being threatened.

Do you know that PDP in Nigeria is now synonymous with "poison" which should never be consumed but used to fight enemies? Do you know that If not for the want of opposition to remain, you would've been thrown into thrash, locked up and the keys thrown away forever?

For 16 years Nigerians kept begging for everything they deserved while you kept looting and merrying over things you didn't deserve, time to watch you struggle for power endlessly till smaller political parties become strong enough to send you into oblivion. Cheers!

90 days after winning the elections the party of holy saints are still looking for angels to help them implement their political agenda. PDP will and cannot be put down, try your best, it will take your almajiris and the Daura President nowhere.

The pain of the election loss is obviously still having devastating effect on PDP. By the time the mess is fully unwrapped, Methu, Jona, Diezani and even Ngozi will know how far.

Buhari,

We already know all you want to tell us about PDP.

Even if you say they left the treasury empty for you, we will agree but that is not why we voted you; we voted you to take actions so you can repair what PDP spoilt during their tenure.

Stop all of these stories and start work.
