PDP now living in lies - Buhari’s group alleges with instances

- The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) alleges that PDP has resorted to lies to paint Buhari and Osinbajo in bad colours

- The BMO claims that the PDP's resort to lies is because the party has realised it will be defeated in 2019

- The group gives instances when the PDP allegedly lied including when the party said some agencies had frozen the accounts of its members

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) says the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) now thrives in lies to shore up its flagging presidential campaign and give Muhammadu Buhari and his deputy, Yemi Osinbajo bad names.

The BMO said this in reaction to claim by the PDP that government agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission froze the account of former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, and his family.

In a statement by its chairman Niyi Akinsiju and its secretary, Cassidy Madueke, the group alleged that the PDP now champion lies after it discovered that it has a little chance in 2019.

“We had recently raised the alarm in the aftermath of the party’s strategy session in Dubai about a resolution to use religious and ethnic sentiments, lies and propaganda as campaign tools.

“And not surprising, PDP had been spinning tales upon tales to cast President Muhammadu Buhari and his deputy Professor Yemi Osinbajo as well as the All Progressives Congress in bad light in the run up to the 2019 elections.

“What is however surprising is that the party’s spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan is willing to stake his reputation as a journalists by putting his name on a statement reeking of outright lie against government agencies that PDP once claimed to have established in good faith,” the group said as reported by Vanguard.

“It’s on record that the party and some of its leaders made a similar allegation of frozen accounts just before the recent Osun state gubernatorial election against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

“The agency was then accused of freezing the accounts of its governorship candidate Ademola Adeleke and that of his family members including the musician Davido but this turned out to be false.

“If indeed PDP is reformed like its leaders claimed, the party should be honourable enough to admit that it was misinformed about the actual status of Obi’s account and apologise for casting the anti-graft agencies in bad light.

“EFCC spokesman Tony Orilade had not only denied PDP’s claim but also noted that the party only alluded to an unnamed agency

“This is because the opposition party clearly did not have its facts but could just not resist the urge to paint President Buhari in bad in line with its well-known Dubai strategy of lies,” the group added.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) recently alleged that all accounts belonging to Peter Obi, wife, his family members have been frozen by security agencies.

The opposition party made the allegation on Saturday, December 8, when it released a statement to call out the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
