Buhari: Pdpsuffers From Selective Amnesia, Says Tinubu by Slizbeat(m): 7:05pm On May 20, 2012
[b]The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) suffers from selective amnesia by its claim that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN), endorsed Goodluck Jonathan’spresidential win as free and fair.
Reacting to Olisa Metuh, the PDP national publicity secretary’s claim that Tinubu endorsed President Jonathan’s election at a lecture he gaveat Chatham House, London, Sunday Dare, Tinubu’s special adviser on Media, accused the PDP of wilful mischief, as Tinubu’s statement was “deliberately” quoted out of context.
Mr. Metuh was reacting to the ACN support for Gen. Buhari’s warning that dire consequences awaited the polity if elections were rigged in 2015.
But putting the records straight, Dare insisted that though Tinubu said he thought Jonathanwon the election, histally was exaggerated, thus casting a slur on the integrity of his victory.
Hear Tinubu, from the Chatham House speech, on 18 July 2011: “I believe Jonathan won the election but that thereturns attributed to him in some partsof the country obviously appearedexaggerated. Thus, celebrating the election as free and fair might lead to INEC beating its chest and might short-circuit the process of fundamental electoral reform. Wemust not relent in our struggle for fundamental reforms.”
In that same speech, Asiwaju Tinubu had warned about the danger ofdraping the 2011 elections in qualitiesthey did not deserve, adding that such false hopecould come back to haunt Nigeria, if future elections were not improved upon, saying that by then, the damagemight even be beyond the judiciaryto fix.[/b]

As far as I know this is a Nigerian disorder, not simply PDP-Related. Nigerians generally suffer from selective Amnesia.
