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.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
