All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the purported attack on President Muhammadu Buhari’s convoy in Kano State on Monday by miscreants as claimed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a confessional statement by the opposition party of conspiracy to commit treasonable felony.
The PDP had in a statement condemned the attack on President Buhari in Kano, alleging that the perpetrators were sponsored by the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
But the governing APC in a statement issued yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Barr Felix Morka, noted that the year 2023 will go down in Nigeria’s “political history as the year of unmitigated infamy for the PDP”.
Motka said, “No one would have thought the PDP capable of outdoing its own record of reckless, mindless and despicable undertakings in and out of governance.
“The PDP has tossed every rule of law, ethical standards, morality, decency, civility, decorum in the trash bin in its deviant obsession for power. Just when you think the degenerate PDP has reached the abyss of low, they burrow even deeper into crevices of shame.
“A statement issued by the PDP on the President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to Kano is nothing short of a confessional statement of conspiracy to commit treasonable felony.
“By actively instigating and sponsoring fringe violent anti-social conduct by paid urchins during presidential engagements in Kano, the PDP has crossed the line of fair campaign engagement into grievous culpable criminality.”
Accordingly, the APC implored security agencies to arrest, investigate and prosecute leaders of the opposition party directly involved in issuing the statement.
Morka continued, “This is unacceptable and demands urgent law enforcement investigation and prosecution of all participants in this high crime.
“President Muhammadu Buhari was in Kano on Sunday, January 29, 2023, at the instance of the high-achieving Governor of the State, Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, to commission eight legacy projects, including a world-class Cancer Centre for which the good people of Kano State are immensely grateful.
“Ostensibly, the PDP is morbidly terrified by the cosy and strong relations between our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and President Muhammadu Buhari. As leader of our party, President Buhari’s universe of goodwill and massive grassroots following inure to the benefit of our visionary presidential candidate.
“The PDP is distraught and dejected by the bleak and irrecoverable hopelessness of its chances in the next general election. However, that does not give it a right to incite and procure treasonable acts in desperate last ditch and orchestrated plot to incite Nigerians against our party.”
The APC added however that Nigerians are now “smart, mature, sensible and discerning” that they would instead consider the PDP conduct as “disturbing, appalling, repulsive and pitiful and will continue to ignore the party’s blatant falsehood and criminal behavior and reject the party and all its candidates from top to bottom.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is, and remains, an open and shut case for the Office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We urge the good Nigerian electorate to vote for our presidential candidate and all candidates of our great Party,” Morka said.
