• Says Buhari not favouring/disfavouring any candidate

The Federal Government, on Wednesday, said it was not “officially aware” of any entity in the Presidential Villa working against the victory of the All Progressives Congress’ flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.

It also said that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was neither favouring nor disfavouring any presidential candidate ahead of the February 25 election.

“If there’s anybody who is working against any candidate, we don’t know officially,” the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, told State House Correspondents after this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by the President at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

The PUNCH reports that the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, alleged that some “elements” in Aso Rock are working against Tinubu’s emergence as President.

El-Rufai, who spoke on a Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, explained that the persons in question were aggrieved that Tinubu defeated their candidate in the June 2022 APC presidential primaries.

He cited the naira redesign policy as one of several schemes targeted at the APC Presidential candidate, Tinubu, who also made a similar claim a week earlier.

According to El-Rufai, “I believe there are elements in the Villa that want us to lose the election because they didn’t get their way; they had their candidate. Their candidate did not win the primaries.

“They are trying to get us to lose the election, and they are hiding behind the President’s desire to do what he thinks is right. I will give two examples: this petroleum subsidy, which is costing the country trillions of Naira, was something that we all agreed would be removed.

“In fact, I discussed with the President and showed him why it had to go. Because how can you have a capital budget of N200b for federal roads and then spend N2 Trillion on petroleum subsidy? This was a conversation I had with the President in 2021 when the subsidy thing started rising. He was convinced. We left. It changed. Everyone in the government agreed, and it changed.

“The second example I will give is this currency redesign. You have to understand the President. People are blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for the currency redesign, but No. You have to go back and look at the first outing of Buhari as President.

“He did this; the Buhari-Idiagbon regime changed our currency and did it in secrecy with a view to catching those that are stashing away illicit funds. It is a very good intention. The President has his right. But doing it at this time within the allotted time does not make any political or economic sense.”

But fielding a question on the issue on Wednesday, Mohammed argued that the Buhari-led government has been fair to all candidates regardless of party affiliations.

He said, “On a more serious note, one thing I can assure you is that, no matter who, this administration is focused and determined to ensure a free and fair election. And I think this administration, and for that matter now, the most important person in this regard is Mr. President.

“I think he has shown by words and deed that he is committed to a free, fair and credible election. And fair, free and credible elections mean not favouring or disfavouring anybody.

“Everywhere he goes, he makes that very clear, even as recently as Friday, when he was in Daura. He said the same thing. So if there’s anybody who’s working against any candidate, we don’t know officially.”

Speaking in Ogun State last Wednesday, the APC presidential candidate alleged plans to sabotage the coming election.

Tinubu cited the naira redesign policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the lingering fuel crisis and as part of plots to thwart the polls and his expected victory.

It's so funny to see how the Iragbiji bedwetter is desperately trying to distance himself from the same calamity he foisted on Nigerians 8 years ago🤣🤣🤣

You know how they say "everyday for the thief and one day for the owner?"

Everyday for the past 8 years has been for the thief, but on one sweet day on February 25th 2023, it will be the turn of Nigerians to enjoy their sweet, long overdue revenge on EscoBAT Oluwole, AKA Bobo Chicago and his corrupt, incompetent and degenerate APC.

This is getting interesting El Rufai El Rufai


Oh Lord, more confusion in their midst, your children are tired, weak and hungry, no one to the rescue

Once you know your enemy, their evil plan will fail.

Glad the Tinubu campaign team was quick to identify the enemies.

Atiku’s master plan has failed.

H

We know

The way they are stressing Tinubu in his own party is heartbreaking, I so much feel for him.

Garba Shehu was Atiku's former Media adviser

Emefiele was nominated by PDP

Most NNPC workers got appointment during PDP era

Meanwhile, they are mapping strategies to annihilation the emilokan.

Garba Shehu was appointed by Buhari, Emefiele was also appointed by Buhari for his second term. So why are you afraid of calling Buhari out?

Doesn't change the fact that the got their big break working years under PDP

The chairman of APC categorically told Tinubu that he will pay for insulting Buhari. Tinubu said he made Buhari president, so why is he afraid of making himself?

Hahaha... dem don do tifnubu ojoro


Chai! What a poor drug pushing old man.

even Elrufai was a minister under PDP. Nobody knows el Rufai until he was appointed minister. Do you want us to start counting how many people are in APC that were formerly PDP?

Are you confirming that CPC has left ACN of southwest?

It would have been quite uncharacteristic if Alhaji Lai Muhammed had agreed that government was aware that there are some fifth columnists in Aso Rock Villa!

APC lule. What a great time to be Nigerian knowing fully well that Peter has come with renewed hope.


We warned urchins that all their devilish efforts would end in failure.
