The All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to the claim by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign that Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, plans to assume the position of Vice President through
the back door,which was designed to divert attention from the success
of the APC Presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari at the
Chatham House in London, last Thursday.
In a statement issued in London on Saturday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the PDP and the
Jonathan Administration still do not have any answer to what has now
become an epochal moment that has separated the wheat from the chaff.
"Our presidential candidate's globally-acclaimed outing has presented
Nigerians, and indeed the global community, to choose between an
ineffective, incoherent, and incompetent President and an assertive,
knowledgeable, dignified, purposeful and principled
President-in-waiting.
"Having failed to discredit that outing with a rented crowd, some of
whom confessed to have been paid to carry placards they do not
understand, the PDP and the Jonathan Administration had resorted to
making nauseating claims that were totally untrue, absolutely
incomprehensible" it said.
APC said the claim was the latest in a series of desperate moves by
the PDP and the Jonathan Administration since the emergence of Gen.
Buhari as the APC presidential candidate, and the clearest indication
yet that they had no answer to the unstoppable momentum of a man of
history.
"They had thrown everything imaginable at Gen. Buhari, but he had
continued to wax stronger and stronger: They said he was not
qualified, that he was too old, then they fabricated a medical report
of an illness of their own choice, sponsored death wish adverted
against him and instituted a myriad of court cases to stop him.
"After they failed to stop him, they went after the election itself,
using the PVCs as a tool to launch a campaign for postponement and,
when they realized that would not work, came up with the bogey of
insecurity in the North-east to force a postponement of the election,
hoping they could buy enough time to revive their electoral
misfortune.
"With everything working against them, they engaged in a show of shame
at The Chatham House that backfired badly, on the heels of their
bare-faced lies that Gen. Buhari was hospitalized in London. The
preposterous claim of a secret oath - reminiscent of what they do in
their own party - by the spokesman of the Jonathan Campaign
Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode, is their latest desperate act," the
party said.
APC said in as much as it had so far refrained from engaging
Fani-Kayode in his game of character, abuses and irresponsible name
calling, the party was becoming seriously concerned that he may be
caving under pressure and reverting to his undignified past of
substance abuse.
