You Cannot Change, Buhari Bombs Atiku
The Muhammadu Buhari Campaign last night congratulated Atiku Abubakar on his emergence as the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP but immediately took him to task on what it described as the dents in his life.
The Buhari Campaign in a statement issued by director of strategic communications, Mr. Festus Keyamo observed that the PDP convention was reported to be awash with vote buying, saying that Atiku was reported in the media to have also engaged in the process in the 2014 convention of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
While observing what it claimed were the differences between the Buhari Campaign and the PDP Campaign, Keyamo in the statement said:
“We wish to congratulate His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on his emergence as the candidate of the PDP in respect of the forth-coming 2019 Presidential Election.
However, we note with interest all the reports in the media as to massive vote-buying at the PDP primaries (especially with foreign currency).
“There were also media reports in the 2014 APC National Convention that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar freely used the same method of massive vote-buying in foreign currency, but he came a distant third.
Till date, he has not denied those media reports. The claim therefore that the process that produce him now as a candidate of the PDP was free, fair and transparent is suspect.
“It is therefore clear that going into this election the issues that will agitate the minds of Nigerians most would be centered around the credibility of the candidate of the opposition and the kind of values he brings into our politics.
“Nigerians would ask themselves whether he can be trusted with our national resources with this proclivity for “dollarising” the political arena, thereby taking us back to the warped values from which President Buhari is trying to extricate the nation.
One wonders what such a candidate would do with public funds. “Nigerians would also note with interest the verdict of Atiku’s former boss when he was Vice President on his credibility and integrity, calling him unprintable names at different occasions.
Nigerians would note that in all of these occasions, Atiku Abubakar had never defended these allegations against him by his former boss, but continues to court his support and cooperation.
“Nigerians would want to know how candidate Atiku Abubakar intends to inspire a nation to believe in his ability to fight corruption in the face of very damning reports both locally and internationally concerning his records on corruption whilst he was in public service as a Customs Officer and later when he was Vice President of Nigeria.
“We note with amusement that on many occasions Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has tried to claim some credit for certain “achievements” during the tenure of President Obasanjo when he was Vice President because, according to him, he was “part of that Government”.
We also wish to remind Nigerians that as much as he claims the credit, he must be prepared to accept joint liability for all that happened in that Government. He cannot blow hot and cold. In due time we shall talk about all these.
“Taking all the above into considerations, Nigerians would rightly ask whether a leopard can indeed change its skin despite all the sweet talk they expect to hear from the opposition candidate during the election.
“Finally, in the history of elections in Nigeria, the choices before Nigerians have never been clearer than now: Nigerians would have to decide between a candidate with a history full of credibility crises, damning reports on corruption both home and abroad and another candidate, (the incumbent President) with an unblemished record in public service.”

Keyamo is just a hungry SAN and a very big fool. What credibility does Buhari have? The N2.8b missing from NNPC in 1978 when Buhari was the Minister of Petroleum and N1=$2 has not been denied by Buhari and is still hanging on his head. The massive corruption we are witnessing in this govt very alarming. Yet this hungry SAN has the gut to ell Nigerians blatant lies.

The Expectation of the APC was that the PDP Convention would end in Violence and Bitterness.
This Week, I Pray that the Expectations of Those who Hate to see Good Things will be Cut Short over Your Life and they Wait to See you Fall, They Will See Your Rise.
Have a Great Week.
