MUHAMMADU BUHARI CAMPAIGN ORGANISATION ON EMERGENCE OF ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR AS PDP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

We wish to congratulate His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on his emergence as the candidate of the PDP in respect of the forth-coming 2019 Presidential Election.

However, we note with interest all the reports in the media as to massive vote-buying at the PDP primaries (especially with foreign currency). We contrast this with the speech of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2014 APC Convention when he said as follows:

“I have always served Nigeria to the best of my ability. I have always tried to give more to the nation than it has given me. This is the principle of service that has guided my public life. Thus, I am not a rich person. I can’t give you a fistful of dollars or naira to purchase your support. Even if I could, I would not do so. The fate of this nation is not up for sale”.

There were also media reports in the 2014 APC National Convention that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar freely used the same method of massive vote-buying in foreign currency, but he came a distant third. Till date, he has not denied those media reports. The claim therefore that the process that produce him now as a candidate of the PDP was free, fair and transparent is suspect.

It is therefore clear that going into this election the issues that will agitate the minds of Nigerians most would be centered around the credibility of the candidate of the opposition and the kind of values he brings into our politics.

Nigerians would ask themselves whether he can be trusted with our national resources with this proclivity for “dollarising” the political arena, thereby taking us back to the warped values from which President Buhari is trying to extricate the nation. One wonders what such a candidate would do with public funds.

Nigerians would also note with interest the verdict of Atiku’s former boss when he was Vice President on his credibility and integrity, calling him unprintable names at different occasions. Nigerians would note that in all of these occasions, Atiku Abubakar had never defended these allegations against him by his former boss, but continues to court his support and cooperation.

Nigerians would want to know how candidate Atiku Abubakar intends to inspire a nation to believe in his ability to fight corruption in the face of very damning reports both locally and internationally concerning his records on corruption whilst he was in public service as a Customs Officer and later when he was Vice President of Nigeria.

We note with amusement that on many occasions Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has tried to claim some credit for certain “achievements” during the tenure of President Obasanjo when he was Vice President because, according to him, he was “part of that Government”. We also wish to remind Nigerians that as much as he claims the credit, he must be prepared to accept joint liability for all that happened in that Government. He cannot blow hot and cold. In due time we shall talk about all these.

Taking all the above into considerations, Nigerians would rightly ask whether a leopard can indeed change its skin despite all the sweet talk they expect to hear from the opposition candidate during the election.

Finally, in the history of elections in Nigeria, the choices before Nigerians have never been clearer than now: Nigerians would have to decide between a candidate with a history full of credibility crises, damning reports on corruption both home and abroad and another candidate, (the incumbent President) with an unblemished record in public service.

Thank you.

[/s]Same old Story!
Nigerians Know Better now!! Our Eyes don open

Taking all the above into considerations, Nigerians would rightly ask whether a leopard can indeed change its skin despite all the sweet talk they expect to hear from the opposition candidate during the election.

Yes its true, A leopard can never change its skin color.
After taking Buharis first leadership in 1983 and 2015 into consideration and seeing how it is always characterized by poverty, hunger and inequality, We reasonable has given him a vote of no confidence and has decided to send his cursed personality back to sender(Daura)

Ruling party playing opposition politics. Shame!!!

This is what we called rulling opposition party

APC never expect this coming

No wonder their mouth odour diarrhoea Chairman was bragging yesternight.

We know their candidate

A sitting governor who left our party

APC doing what they know how to do best, playing the opposition, next year we will return them back to their post (opposition)

APC is acting like the opposition party.

APC already crying blue murder, the urge to play opposition party is too strong they cant resist it lol.

Who still takes Festus serious? He is scared already. Two press releases within 24 hours over Atiku.

Interesting to see how frustrated ipob miscreants have suddenly become slaves to Atiku, a Fulani man.

Abeg ehn, how is Atiku's emergence d APC's concern?? Why don't dey allow Nigerians decide how bad Atiku is or not...? Dey claim d election is a walk over for dem but yet dey have reacted more than all d elements on d periodic table since d emergence of Atiku

Are they afraid?
APC is only good as opposition.

Only Buhari can defeat sai baba


Make Atiku atikulate to US first...

Does keyamo wants to b the chief justice of the federation cos his campaign after election no b here oo with so much pain

PDP is a party of rouges

They should learn from 2015 what happened to the party slamming others

it seems some people are jittery..

It would seem that vote-buying has come to stay in Nigeria

APC please do more
This one is too cheap,if these are you guy got against him ,then he’s coasting to victory.

Na foolishness go kill Keyamo

Atiku is all about corruption
