The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO)
has denied allegation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against our Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Peter Obi over campaign funding.
“It is unfortunate that President Muhammadu Buhari, who daily tells
Nigerians of his commitment to a free, fair, credible and peaceful polls
as well as issue based campaign will, within the same breath, mandate
the officials of his party and members of his campaign to be engaging in
malicious, vengeful and hate-inclined statements against respectable
Nigerians whose integrity, competence and capacity overshadow his,” the PDP national spokesman, Kola Ologbodiyan said on Thursday in a statement.
He added: “The PPCO makes bold to state that unlike President Buhari, the PDP Presidential candidate and his running mate, have unbroken records of fulfilling responsibilities in all the offices they have occupied.
“They come with a trajectory of successes in their various engagements in
public office and have never been indicted by any statutory authority or
court of competent jurisdiction in any matter whatsoever
“The PPCO however charges the APC to look inwards and see the array of
drug barons, addicts, certificate forgers, money launderers and treasury
looters that are assembled in their party and Presidential campaign
council.
“This assemblage by people of questionable characters in a party where
their leaders claim integrity is one of the puzzles that 2019 election
will solve.
“We are therefore not surprised by the descent of the APC to this
irresponsible level of allegation as a subterfuge to divert public
attention from President Buhari’s rejection, failure in governance and
schemes to manipulate the 2019 general elections.
“Finally the PDP urges President Buhari and the APC to refrain from dirty
politics as such will not deliver them from the rejection by Nigerians.”
