The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has replied
President Muhammadu Buhari saying that
Nigerians have made up their minds to vote Atiku
Abubakar as their next President.
The party stated this in a statement on
Wednesday through its Director Media and
Publicity, Presidential Campaign Organisation,
Kola Ologbondiyan.
According to the PDP, “Nigerians have since made
up their minds to rally with Atiku Abubakar as
their next President ahead of the February
Presidential electionâ€.
Although President Buhari had earlier told
supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, not to make the
mistake and vote for any PDP candidate during
the general elections.
The PDP in its statement further criticised the
‘scanty attendance’ at the APC campaign rallies
saying it is an indication that Nigerians are not
ready to return him into the office for a second
term.
The opposition party also alleged that the
president could not clearly make his claims at the
rally.
“President Buhari could not articulate any clear
message, even as he mixed up figures and
statistics,†the party said.
The party also criticised the APC’s National
Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole for calling out
names of their party leaders during the campaign
rally and called on the National Peace Committee
to sanction him on the comments he made
against them.
“It is instructive for President Buhari to note how
poorly Nigerians responded to his campaign flag-
off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, as well as his zonal
rallies, where his rented attendees even refused to
wave the APC brooms and paid no attention to
him whenever he mounted the stage to speak.
“President Buhari should end his playing to the
gallery on the fight against corruption and get
serious by prosecuting members of his Campaign
Council, who all have allegations of corruption
hanging on their namesâ€.
