The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that President Buhari is
not interested in the upcoming 2019 presidential election.
The party said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is yet to set up a campaign structure ahead of the polls.
The
PDP National PubIicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan also accused the
APC of relying on its plan to rig elections with the help of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He said “All
over the world, patriotic and obligated leaders, who are seeking (re-)
elections, go to the electorate to canvass for votes with their messages
and solutions.
“But our President and the APC have been busy
procuring phony endorsements, harassing and intimidating opposition
leaders, compromising the electoral body to create illegal voting
centres, delaying election budgets and holding the process to ransom by
refusing to sign amendments to the Electoral Act that eliminate avenues
for rigging.
“President Buhari, who is already reputed to have
wrecked our once robust economy, crippled our critical sectors,
entrenched corruption at the high places, and whose administration has
dangerously divided our nation with escalated violence and daily
bloodletting, is seeking re-election with no solution to offer on any
critical sector of our economy.
“Mr. President has nothing to
offer on security; he has no message on education, agriculture, health,
energy, power, employment, manufacturing and other key sectors, which he
wrecked in the last three and half years.
“Instead of seeking
ways to make amends, President Buhari, ostensibly out of frustration
over his rejection and imminent electoral defeat in 2019, has arrogantly
told Nigerians to be ready to face more suffering and hardship in the
remaining part of his tenure.”
The PDP also debunked the allegation by APC accusing it of hiring a Russian hacker to compromise INEC servers.
