Buhari |
President
Goodluck Jonathan, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Reuben
Abati has warned Muhammadu Buhari, a presidential aspirant under the All
Progressives Congress to desist from making false and uncharitable comments about the elected
leadership of his country, merely for personal and sectional political gain.
In a
press release signed by Abati, the president wholly reject the allegations made
by General Buhari against the Jonathan Administration at yesterday’s
declaration of his intention to contest the 2015 presidential elections as an
irresponsible denigration of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s sincere
efforts, over the past four years, to positively transform Nigeria.
We wholly
reject the allegations made by General Buhari against the Jonathan
Administration at yesterday’s declaration of his intention to contest the 2015
presidential elections as an irresponsible denigration of President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan’s sincere efforts, over the past four years, to positively
transform Nigeria.
It
reflects very badly on the character of the political opposition we now have in
Nigeria, that a political leader of General Buhari’s stature will deliberately
make such false and uncharitable comments about the elected leadership of his
country, merely for personal and sectional political gain.
The
falsity of General Buhari’s anti-Jonathan and anti-PDP claims will be obvious
to knowledgeable Nigerians and friends of the country, but for the benefit of
others we will like to affirm that there is absolutely no truth whatsoever in
his charge that “the last 16 years of PDP Government has witnessed a decline in
all critical sectors of life in Nigeria” or that “the economy continues to
deteriorate”.
His most
uncharitable and inexcusable accusation against the present administration was
that election rigging continues to thrive in Nigeria.
All that
General Buhari promises to do are already being done by the Jonathan
Administration to the acclaim of ordinary Nigerians and there is no evidence
before Nigerians that the APC leader and his acolytes can do them better.
The
retired General is free to renege on his well-publicized pledge not to seek
elective office as he has done, but we urge him to conduct his presidential
campaign with greater regard for the truth.
We also
urge him to eschew unbecoming false accusations against others like a true
elder statesman and to focus his campaign on more original ideas for the
promotion of peace, stability, unity and progress in our beloved nation.”
