The Presidential Campaign Council [PCC] of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the anti-corruption posturing of the presidential candidates of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Malam Nuhu Ribadu which it described as hypocritical, and self- serving.

The Campaign Council advised the two candidates to desist from selling wrong images about themselves, stating that evidence detailing their misdemeanour and unwholesome conduct abound to prove that they were not the innocent politicians that they have been claiming to be.

It said it would be more acceptable if Buhari and Ribadu limit their campaign promises to the manifestoes of their respective political parties and the personal agenda that they have for the country rather than portraying themselves as apostles of anti-corruption which it said they are far from.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the Director of Research and Strategy of the PCC, Mike Omeri said that the antecedents of the two, who he described as self-acclaimed anti-corruption ‘stars’ had proved that they had had their hands soiled with acts of corruption during their different years in government.

It threatened to fully expose the two presidential candidates and match them action for action in their avowed commitment to dent the image of President Goodluck Jonathan with lies that they have been peddling against him.

Omeri, in the statement recalled that in 1984 General Buhari exhibited double standard in public administration by allowing 52 suit cases suspected to be filled with hard currency through his ADC into Nigeria without passing through the customs check point for the mandatory custom clearance.

He said the development was a clear case of money laundering. “And we wonder what moral right such a candidate had to talk about anti- corruption”.

The statement stated further that the case of Nuhu Ribadu the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was more shocking.

The Campaign Committee recalled that In 2007 while answering questions from the Senate on the alleged acts of corruption by some governors, Ribadu pointedly said that the corruption of the former governor of Lagos state, Senator Bola Tinubu was “of international dimension”.

It added, “Is it not curious that the same person with such a tag is now the political godfather of Ribadu and sole financier of his political campaigns?

“To also show Ribadu’s lack of faith in the anti-corruption fight, he recently said and we quote:“I won’t bother myself with the integrity of politicians that will fund my campaign. I will take corrupt politicians money for my campaign as far as the money is not put in my pocket.”

“What kind of role model is Ribadu and how can Nigerians believe him if he says that he will jail corrupt politicians if he emerges as the country’s president?

“Ribadu by such posturing has given Tinubu a clean bill of health which is not only hypocritical, but evidence that given the same opportunity, he would not have done better than the governors whom he had indicted.

Our attention has been drawn to another lousy outing by President Goodluck Jonathan’s “Chemical Alli”, Mike Omeri wherein he sought to abuse the office of the President to spread low quality rumour against the man his paymaster is handing over to in 71 days time, General Muhammadu Buhari. From under the “umblerah” (umbrella) of shame where they have been hibernating since they ran from the Presidential debate because they could not get questions in advance, Omeri ran to foul the atmosphere with a thoughtless charge that General Buhari is not sincere about his resolve to rid Nigeria of corruption. In the usual audacious incompetence of the Jonathan camp, Omeri’s only evidence to support his assertion is the fabled “53 suitcases” of 1984.

For a campaign that parades a PHD on top of its ticket, we would ordinarily expect that any subject they want to attack would be properly researched but unfortunately, the way governance in Nigeria has not seen any touch of intellect in the last 10 months is also reflecting in their puerile propaganda. For the sake of the unwary who may be tempted to believe there is any substance to this urban legend, we recap what happened.

In 1984, the Emir of Gwandu whose son was ADC to General Buhari was returning to the country from overseas. The Head of state on learning of his arrival asked his son to go and receive him at the airport as they were only playing squash at the time. Coincidentally, the Nigerian ambassador to Libya at the time, Dr Tahir Waziri arrived at the same time with the Emir with his three wives and 16 children. They all came with their belongings as he was coming home to take up a new appointment as chief of protocol to the Head of state. It was the suitcases of the family of 20 that were counted as belonging to the Emir and falsely presented to the public. General Buhari has over the years asked those who have questions over the matter to go to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who was at the head of Customs operations at the airport on the day. Now we are further suggesting this as a research topic for a doctoral thesis by the president when he hands over on May 29, 2011.

Having come clean on this as General Buhari does with all his public service records, we are asking President Jonathan a few questions as we await his threat of exposing his main challenger, a feat which his godfathers in PDP have been unable to achieve since 2002, that he threw his hat in the ring against the ruling party. Here we go:

1. Can Mr President explain what happened to the case of N104m seized from Nancy Ebere Nwosu who allegedly swore to an affidavit to the EFCC that she was laundering money for Dame Patience Jonathan?
2. What about the announcement by the then EFCC spokesman, Mr Osita Nwajah on September 11, 2006 that the sum of $13.5m was seized from another associate of Mrs Jonathan which the anti-graft body said belonged to the now first lady?
3. Any explanation on the several billions of Naira which DSP Alamiesegha left in Bayelsa coffers as at the time of his impeachment which was allegedly squandered in months by Jonathan without anything to show for it?
4. Who presided over the FEC meeting in October 2009 where a 4km runway at Abuja Airport was awarded for N64b? Late President Yaradua was already in Saudi Hospital as at the time!
5. What happened to the $30b Yaradua left in the excess crude account that is virtually empty now?
6. How come it is only Nigeria under Jonathan whose foreign reserve is depleting among oil producing nations at this time of high increases in prices of oil products?

We understand Jonathan is scared of General Buhari promise to check out what happened to the billions of dollars the ruling PDP has sunk to the power sector to give Nigeria further darkness instead of light because he has supervised that sector in the last four years. No amount of cheap shots will stop the change Nigeria awaits from ensuring that Nigerians enjoy regular power supply starting from finding out what the PDP did to put the light out so that money never pour into procuring darkness in our country again.

Now that Buhari has replied, I am patiently awaiting the reply from GEJ's team.
