Presidency To PDP: You Are Doing Boko Haram’s Work

The presidency has accused the main opposition Peoples Democratic Part (PDP0 of doing what an outlawed group known as Boko Haram should be doing.

“Pray, if a political party, in a blind search for power can spurn the interest of the nation, embrace the language of hate campaign against the country’s military as enunciated by the terrorists, as the PDP does, what will be left for the Boko Haram to do?  PDP is doing Boko Haram’s work!”

Reacting to the PDP’s criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nomination of former Service Chiefs to the Senate for confirmation as non-career ambassadors, in a statement today, February 6, the senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu said wanted PDP to publish such evidence instead of levying grave accusations.

“We live in an evidence-based era for arguments. If the PDP has evidence of rights abuse against the military in the war against terrorists, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the nation that they publish such evidence instead of levying grave accusations without proves? And to ask, in whose interest are they making these accusations that lack any depth?

“To add, we don’t think the ICC, which these childish calls are being made needs to be lectured on democratic values and human rights by the PDP. Who are they, and what is their record in office to lecture anyone? Zaki Biam and Odi where thousands of citizens were on record, the genocide operation comes to mind. Did they report themselves to the ICC?

“PDP’s attacks on the ambassadorial nominations should be seen in the context of the opposition party’s track record as a university of liars, whose modus operandi is to propagate lies.

“The President is rewarding hard work and exceptional sacrifice by a set of military leaders who gave their best to the nation and will be remembered, sooner than later, for their contributions to the security and survival of Nigeria as one nation. They should be allowed to move to the next level.

“This is so that their examples will help to inspire others if given the opportunity to serve.”

The Presidency said that it is baffling that this false and baseless assertion is coming not from Boko Haram terrorists who the military kept largely in check and confined to a known section of the country, Sambisa, but from a so-called leading opposition party that fraudulently kept power for 16 years and is nursing the hope of one day returning to office as an elected government.

The statement wondered why the PDP under which government insurgency conquered large swathes of territory-18 Local Government Areas would be making such allegation.
