Tinubu accuses PDP members of trying to create a feud between him and Buhari (Nigeria)
APC
National leader, Bola Tinubu, has accused PDP members of the trying to create a
feud between him and President Buhari. In a statement he released through his
media aide, Sunday Dare, Tinubu said recent publications on social media
tagged, ‘Destroy the reputation of Tinubu and his relationship with Buhari’,
shows that some disgruntled members of the opposition were out to cause
trouble. He stated that he has never granted any interview discussing Buhari
and the 2019 election. The statement reads in part;
"The
individuals behind the plot are mostly scared PDP elements made frightened by
the Buhari anti-corruption campaign. They direct this falsehood at Tinubu in
the futile mission of trying to drive a wedge between the President and Tinubu
to disrupt the progress being made against corruption and to destabilise the
APC. But their PDP is already something by-gone, buried under the mass of its
corruption and wrongdoing. They fight for a cause that has no cause. They are
mercenaries of all the ills and defects that the people want excised from our
body politic. Thus, we must do the people a public service. In the last six
weeks, the Tinubu Media Office has monitored the stream of false, distorted
media accounts written against Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We have learned that there is
a concerted, wilful campaign tagged, ‘Destroy the reputation of Tinubu and his
relationship with Buhari'. As part of this ugly plot to cultivate the worst of
lies against the national leader of the APC, several blogs and online sites recruited
to launch this smear campaign have manufactured stories to advance this
sinister plan to taint the public mind with gross lies disguised as news
reports and interviews. Fallacious headlines such as ‘Reasons why I collected
N9m-Tinubu’ and ‘I will not return N9m-Tinubu”. “I am afraid PDP will stop
Buhari in 2019 – Tinubu,’ are being paraded. Try as hard as they can the
creators of these false tales and misleading headlines will fail miserably.
Their stories cannot stand up to the slightest scrutiny. They are patently
false and we condemn in the strongest terms those involved in this anti-Tinubu
racket. “While these fellows may think themselves cunning, they might have
outwitted their very selves. In writing these stories, they have committed
clear libel. In abusing the media office letterhead and name, their
misrepresentations amount to forgery. They laugh now but walk on thin ice.
Soon, that ice will break and they shall have nothing but the weight of their
wrongdoing to blame for their predicament that will soon come. After
identifying the bloggers and paid hatchet writers perpetrating these wrongs,
the Tinubu Media Office is taking the step to alert the public to beware and be
weary of hatchet writers, false prophets and paid bloggers. The Tinubu Media
Office has the names and online sites recruited for this campaign and will not
hesitate to make them know if they do not desist from their negative
mission"he said
