The Presidency has frowned at the letter written by the National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Uche Secondus to the United Nations Secretary General accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of several allegations.
Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, in a statement in Abujsa on Monday, said the letter had confirmed the opposition party as a bad loser.
According to him, the letter which is no less preposterous and comical, has shown the opposition accusing the Nigerian government of “destroying Nigeria’s democracy.’’
He said the letter was a clear indication that the PDP was desperate for another chance after it was kicked out for failing the nation and its people.
The presidential media aide also debunked the insinuation that the ongoing war against corruption was an attack on human rights.
According to him, Nigerians suffered because of the poison sowed by the PDP.
He stated that if the public were privy to some of the facts and figures on corruption that “President Buhari and the anti-corruption agencies are dealing with, they would understand the passion that drives the determination to nail these callous men and stop them in their corrupt tracks.’’
On the accusation that President Buhari is behind the spate of herdsmen and farmer clashes in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, Shehu described the accusation as allegation from the beer parlour.
He maintained that the PDP certainly had no shred of evidence to make such an allegation.
Shehu narrated the various lengths to which President Buhari had gone to end the spate of killings in the troubled areas across the country.
He said such measures included mobilising state resources against the attackers, approving the setting up of new police and army formations in the affected areas, and the recruitment of thousands into the police and other arms of the military.
According to him, a more reasonable opposition should always acknowledge these efforts.
