President Muhammadu Buhari has come under fire, over the alleged usage of a shadowy group, as a front to purchase the N45 million All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential nomination form.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, which was made available to Post-Nigeria, described the act as a worn out stunt, smacking of fraud, and worsening the already battered image of the President.
The party stated that President Buhari can no longer play the “pro-poor gimmick, which his followers have always presented to Nigerians.”
“Already, our people are daily confronted by the flaunting of affluence and material wealth by the President, and those around him, while betraying and abandoning millions of poor Nigerians, who unfortunately, put their trust in him, in 2015.
“Nigerians are aware that the very expensive personal effects, including posh jewelries daily paraded by his close relatives, betrayed the gimmick of using an unregistered group, pieced together to execute another failed pro-poor stunt to sway Nigerians”, the statement noted.
It added: “Moreover, the PDP urges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to note that the purchase of the N45 million form by the group, directly violates section 91 (9) of the Electoral Act, which provides that no individual or other entity, shall donate more than one million naira (N1,000,000), to any candidate.
“Since President Buhari has not publicly disowned the purchase of the form by the group, the PDP charges INEC, to within the next 24-hours, hold him culpable, and make him face the appropriate sanctions for the violation of Electoral laws.
“Finally, it is unfortunate that President Buhari and his handlers, in their desperation to hang on to power, even when they have been rejected, have reduced themselves to objects of public ridicule, with their many bloopers, ahead of the 2019 general elections.”
