The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) berates the factional National Chairman of the
APC, Adams Oshiomhole, for making derogatory comments against PDP’s successful zonal Presidential rally held in Owerri, Imo state, on Tuesday.
Oshiomhole is discomfited that the PDP
is taking
back its traditional states, including Imo, ahead of the general
elections and that Nigerians and Imolites are genuinely rallying behind
our candidate,
Atiku, as well as our gubernatorial candidate, Emeka Ihedioha.
We
know how the Buhari Presidency has sunk low to be paying money to
people to attend his rallies; how the Presidency and the APC are
recruiting agents in various parts of the country, through whom they
conduit renting fees ranging from N5,000 to N10,000 per head.
These
agents transport the rented crowd, in buses and trailers from
neighboring states, to venues of President Buhari’s rallies to give the
impression of massive support from the host state. Usually, the same
individuals are recycled in rallies across the country.
The
agents also orchestrate stunts, including getting people to climb on
vehicles, rooftops, electric poles, towers and masts, as well as
blocking roads around the venue and surging towards the podium, all to
create an impression of crowd overflow and a fake craving for Buhari.
It
has been established that over 50 % of people at any President Buhari’s
state rallies are made up of apolitical persons rented from contiguous
states. This explains why the crowd at President Buhari’s rallies, which
having no affinity with his ambition, is always unruly.
Already,
ahead of President Buhari’s forthcoming rally in Anambra, agents have
been fully mobilized to rent and transport crowd from Kogi, Edo and
Delta to create an impression that he enjoys massive support in the
state.
We ask; who is fooling who? President Buhari
should
stop deceiving himself and know that the masses, which he impoverished,
will collect his money, which is part of our common patrimony, and still
vote their candidate, Atiku, and defend their votes to the very end.
