Lai Torn Between Two Masters; Buhari And Tinubu, Says PDP by Nobody: 5:34pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised Lai
Mohammed, spokesman of the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC), for his reaction to the issues raised by the
party in its statement on Sunday.
According to the opposition party, Mohammed has
elementary knowledge of his new role as spokesman of the
ruling party, and is torn between two masters: President
Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, national leader of the
APC.
In its earlier statement, the party had demanded that
President Buhari give account of all expenditures since his
inauguration on May 29, and accused him of scamming
Nigerians with empty promises.
But the APC swiftly responded, flaying the PDP for not
appreciating the hard work of Buhari’s government. It also
said the PDP was reacting to “beer-parlour gossip” and
constituting a nuisance.
Consequently, Olisa Metuh, PDP spokesman, issued a
statement on Monday to say that the resort to insults by
Mohammed, ostensibly to divert attention from issues,
further confirms the insincerity and emptiness of the APC
even as a party in power.
“Whilst we understand the desperation of Lai Mohammed to
remain relevant even without any influence of electoral
success in his political career, at any level whatsoever, he
and the APC must understand that being in government
comes with demands of accountability, civility and
decency,” he said.
“We appreciate the elementary knowledge of the APC
spokesman in his new role, especially against the backdrop
of his struggling to impress two masters at a time,
Bourdellion and the President, who distributes the largesse
at the moment, but Nigerians expect that in his search for
job, he should be decorous, mature and on the side of truth
and accountability.
“However, going through the hurried response by the APC, it
is clearly noted that the party did not address any of the
issues raised by the PDP in its widely reported press
conference on Sunday.
“The APC failed to address the issue of the recent organized
public harassment and humiliation against the immediate-
past First Lady and wife of the former President, Dame
Patience Jonathan at the Port Harcourt airport obviously
organized and orchestrated by the Director of Protocol in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Husseini, who cited
‘order from above’ in his direct threats and insults to the
former First Lady on phone.
“Furthermore, the nation is still waiting for the APC and the
Presidency to address the issue of the divisive and
tendentious statement by President Buhari who declared to
the world that he would run a discriminatory government
based on voting pattern in the last general elections, in clear
violation of his oath of office and the provisions of the
constitution.
“Nigerians are still waiting for explanations on the
embarrassment that characterized the President’s US visit,
which instead of bringing gains, yielded only disagreements,
accusations and exchanges between the presidency and
their American hosts.
“The presidency and the APC are yet to address the issue of
the disgraceful treatment meted out on some Nigerian
bankers and captains of industries by the president during
the visit, as well as the absence of an economic team in an
important meeting with US officials, thereby robbing the
nation of the benefits of the discussions.
“Nigerians are still waiting for answers on the issue of
resort to sole administratorship by the President in
managing of the affairs of the nation without proper
recourse to statutory arms and organs of government as
stipulated by the constitution. They are still waiting for
explanations for the lack of policy direction that has left the
nation’s economy in tatters with continued fall of the naira
and agonizing loss in the capital market which has lost over
N1.1 trillion in the last two months.
“The citizens are still awaiting clarifications on the
important issue of the $2.1 billion loan the presidency is
taking from the World Bank for purposes yet unknown to the
public and relevant arms of government.They want
explanations on what the loan is for, what the terms are and
who decides on how the money will be spent.
“The APC has failed to address our question on the handling
of the nation’s resources in the last two month, where
whereas the Presidency is unilaterally depleting national
resources in the name of bailout for states, state governors
are on air announcing that they have not received any form
of bailout whatsoever from the center.
“We restate our call for this government to come out clear
on this loan as well as publicize details of its expenditure in
the last two months. Instead of addressing the matter, the
APC resorted to insults, which will never sway Nigerians
from demanding for explanations.
“We had also raised the issue of intimidation and
harassment of members of election tribunals in Rivers and
some other states by the Director of DSS, ostensibly to
secure judgments against the PDP. We expect answers
from the APC on the fact of nepotism in the appointment of
the Director of DSS and that of Mrs. Amina Zakari as Acting
Chairman of INEC. Does it mean that appointments under
the APC administration are now based on a nexus with the
President or APC leaders either by consanguinity or
affinity?”
“We demand for direct answers on issues. In this regard, we
charge the APC and especially its spokesman, Alhaji
Mohammed to settle down and strive to partner with us in
elevating the national political discourse from the domain of
insults to that of issues, so that the public, especially the
younger generation of Nigerians would be adequately
informed on national issues.” https://www.thecable.ng/pdp-lai-mohammed-torn-tinubu-buhari cc: Lalasticlala |

Wow! PDP is far by miles a better opposition. If the APC were like this when they were in the opposition, maybe Nigeria would have been better than this. This statement does not even have one single insult in it. APC, learn how to be a better opposition, you will go back to being the opposition in 2019. 1 Like |

APC must be sent out before 2019. We are tired of directionless govt. Nigeria is in dire need of a leader. The reason why Nigerian army removed Buhari in 80s is here with us again. |
