The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, PPCO, has described the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential campaign flag-off in Uyo, the
Akwa-Ibom state capital on Friday, as a mockery of President Muhammadu
Buhari, saying the cold response by the crowd showed how much Nigerians
now begrudge him over his failures in governance.
The council said it was a pitiable sight as “an embarrassed President
Buhari could only slur, failed to articulate any clear reason for
seeking re-election and had to cut short his presentation when he
realized that the rented crowd, which refused to carry APC brooms, was
not paying attention to him.”
PPCO in a statement by its Director, Media and Publicity, Kola
Ologbondiyan noted: “More embarrassing was that, apparently miffed by
Mr. President’s attempt at yet another false performance claims, the
crowd started leaving the venue of the rally at the time he was being
handed his party’s flag by his national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, a
development that led to a hurried closure of the event.
“Nigerians were alarmed when Mr. President claimed that the nation was
secure under his rule, when there are killings and daily bloodletting in
various parts of our country; when insurgents who had been pushed to
the fringes of the North East by the PDP administration, leading to the
conduct of elections in all the local governments in the country, have
under the Buhari administration spread to other states of the north.
“While Mr. President was making his claims, insurgents had taken Baga;
there are killings going on in Zamfara and our soldiers and policemen
are being killed by terrorists, due to the neglect of his
administration.
“Our citizens were further startled when President Buhari claimed that
he has achieved food security when in actual fact there is hunger and
starvation everywhere. This statement not only confirms the Buhari
Presidency’s proclivity for false claim but also shows that Mr.
President is completely insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
“President Buhari further embarrassed his office on his claims of
commitment towards the war against corruption when he was surrounded at
the podium, by individuals who are facing corruption allegations,
including the Director General of his Campaign, Rotimi Amaechi, Adams
Oshiomhole, his South-South Zonal Director, Godswill Akpabio and a host
of others.
“Furthermore, Nigerians are invited to note that our First Lady, Aisha
Buhari, who was on the side of President Buhari throughout his 2015
campaign conspicuously shunned Mr. President’s 2019 re-election flag off
apparently in fulfillment of her stance not to support him for a second
term if he failed in his first tenure.”
