Attack On Buhari, Invented In PDP’s Imagination – APC Campaign

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council has said the purported attack on President Muhammadu Buhari in Kano State on Monday by miscreants is a figment of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) imagination.

The PDP had in a statement condemned the attack on President Buhari in Kano, alleging that perpetrators were sponsored by the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Firing back, the APC campaign said it was not suprised to read of the imaginary attack on the president as alleged by the PDP since the opposition party has nothing tangible to tell Nigerians from its crumbling presidential C’campaign.

In a statement by its director of Media and  Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, APC presidential campaign council called on security agencies, “especially the Police and Department of State Services  to immediately arrest PDP National Publicity Secretary for interrogation over this imaginary attack”.

Onanuga continued: “This invented attack on President Muhammadu Buhari must have happened only in the fertile imagination of PDP National Publicity Secretary, one Debo Ologunagba..

“Nigerians should disregard this fake news from a party that has lost touch with reality and suffering the agony of violating its own rules on power rotation.

“Just as it has been masterminding fake news against the APC presidential candidate and trying vainly to cause disharmony in the APC family, we believe the party may have planned to embarrass President Buhari in Kano and then put the blame on host Governor Ganduje and Tinubu.

“This is  because PDP  has of recent morphed from being a Buhari virulent critc to strangely becoming  a  Buhari spokesperson ! The last time it issued a self-serving misinterpretation of Asíwájú’s statement in Abeokuta as an attack on President Buhari.”

The APC campaign further said Nigerians should be obviously aware that “the knowledge of impending defeat of PDP  at the coming presidential poll has pushed the party and its candidate into frenzied hallucinatory mode of mindless, ridiculous, ludicrous litany of lies and fabrications against APC  and its candidate.

“The PDP is a drowning party feverishly clawing at any straw of lies and lashing out in all delusional directions to keep afloat – but sink it will.

“We believe Nigerians are not taken in by the jejune antics. The PDP now runs the most unethical,  pernicious and inelegant, abusive, obtrusive and nationally divisive campaign in the history of electioneering in Nigeria,” Onanuga added.

The APC campaign team recalled that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, out of frustration, stated publicly that the North must not vote anybody outside the region, the same trend it said has characterized the PDP campaign ever since.

Onanuga added: “That surely is a sign of defeat, and  readiness to sacrifice the unity of this country on the alter of unbridled inordinate ambition.

“Nigerians are wiser and would never allow PDP centrifugal forces to take our nation down with it . All men and women of good conscience should  rise up and use their votes to send PDP  and its band of desperados to the dustbin of history where they rightfully belong.

“Contrary to PDP fabrication, President Buhari was warmly received in Kano State today by the good people and government of the state where he commissioned eight  hugely impactful projects including overhead bridge with underpass and a cancer centre.

“On Sunday, we alerted the nation to the plot by PDP to orchestrate and execute many evil plans to defame, ridicule and delegitimise President Muhammadu Buhari and our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Nigerians of goodwill would have seen by now that we didn’t raise false alarm in our statement issued on 29 January , 2023 where we detailed the evil machinations of PDP and their hirelings. Only the evil mind of PDP could conceive an attack on a President of Nigeria.”

“It is not impossible that PDP through its paid agents would organise miscreants to stage-manage an attack. But  we are sure the security agencies are capable of foiling any planned attack on the President and anyone who is caught in such unholy plot now or in the future will have himself or herself to blame.”
