2019: Atiku's spokesman tells Buhari not to campaign with presidential jet

- A spokesman for Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shuaibu, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to waste taxpayers’ money by using the presidential jet to campaign

- He urged the president to throw in the towel and stop wasting tax payers’ monies on campaigns

- Shuaibu called on the president to leave the country to more serious people to run its affairs

Phrank Shuaibu, special assistant on public communications to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to waste taxpayers’ money by using the presidential jet to campaign.

Shuaibu made the request on an interview on Channels TV.

Legit.ng gathers that the spokesman urged the president to throw in the towel and stop wasting tax payers’ monies on campaigns; pointing out that Buhari had reportedly admitted that the economy had failed under his watch.

He said: “He has come out to say he has failed and it has nothing to do with our party. You know as well that here is a man that was sworn in on May 29, 2015 and inaugurated his cabinet after 166 days, leaving the economy in the hands of the Central Bank of Nigeria and he left many things unattended to and we slipped into a recession which we hadn’t seen since 1991.

“So, saying the PDP is his problem is completely out of context.

“Why waste tax payers’ money to go into an election? So that he will spend money junketing from one place to the other? Using our presidential jet and tax payer’s money to fund it? Impossible! Let us leave the country to more serious people to run.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that an Abuja-based Islamic scholar, Sheikh Abubakar Sadeeq Shaibu, cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to stop attacking themselves in the course of their campaigns to seek election to the nation's highest political office in 2019.

The cleric made the admonition at a Maulud celebration in Abuja on Saturday, December 15. He said it was embarrassing to see both presidential candidates attacking each other as they campaign.
