The Presidency has advised Nigerians to be wary of what comes out from the opposition, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), so as “not to be misled into voting for a party that sees nothing wrong with corruption.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity , Garba Shehu, gave the advice when he reacted to PDP ’ s allegations against the Buhari administration.
Shehu, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, said the PDP would rather have “everyone drenched in its colours , as they irretrievably are .’’
According to him , the PDP has continued spreading lies about the Buhari administration in the mistaken assumption that its toga of corruption will dissipate if it succeeds in black – painting every other person as corrupt.
He said: “The strategy is to make corruption appear as normative and that everyone is involved . They think by so doing, Nigerians will forgive them for their sins . This is a huge mistake.
“The PDP has become an ill wind on the country , and the elections next year present the citizens an excellent opportunity to save the country from it .
“We can ’ t imagine a sane organisation shamelessly telling Nigerians that President Buhari is looting , as they themselves did, the recovered loot , the $ 322 m lately recovered from the Abacha family.
This is an irresponsible lie.’’
