Again, PDP hit Buhari over N45m nomination form
"Presidency of round-tripping the N45 million claimed to have been
contributed by a 'shadowy' group to buy the All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential nomination form for President Muhammadu Buhari."
PDP noted that Buhari's inability, as "Mr. Integrity", to explain the
"registration status, membership and source of funding of the shadowy
group exposes the charade in the latest failed endorsement stunt."
In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said it is
"laughable, that the Buhari Presidency does not realize that such
stunts have become out-worn and cannot sway opinion in a country with
citizens as enlightened as Nigerians.
"Most Nigerians already know how some officials at the Buhari
presidency, made up of corrupt individuals, racketeers and certificate
forgers, hurriedly assembled the group and mobilised them with N45
million for the APC presidential nomination form, which was hiked to
scare away other contestants.
"How members of the group were settled for the stunt as well the
issues and disagreements that arose from the deal are also known to
many Nigerians.
"What Mr. President's handlers are hiding from him is the fact that
Nigerians do not believe the falsehood that a set of individuals,
facing the challenges of abysmally low purchasing power, put together
a wholesome N45m to buy him a form.
"Nigerians are still waiting for him to make public the proof of
registration, membership, list of individual contributors and amount
contributed by these shadowy individual members.
"We also challenge President Buhari to make public the official
correspondences of the 12 million members of the Rice Farmers
Association, members of the Fertilizer Producers Association and the
members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association who, he
claimed, offered to buy nomination form for him.
"Moreover, the PDP described as unpresidential, the outbursts credited
to President Buhari against those who left the APC noting that such
was an unwarranted attack on innocent Nigerians whose only offence is
that they chose to abandon his derelict sinking ship, APC.
"Finally, the PDP counsels President Buhari to forget the idea of
painting himself as a lover of youths and asking for funds from them,
as his "lazy youth" comment and talking down on young persons not to
contest against him in the 2019 election, amply convey his disdain for
the Nigerian youths."
