The war of words between the major political rivals over the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s recent allegations continues.
The clash is again about the purported plot within the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Yemi Osinbajo to hand over to Bola Tinubu if the party wins the election.
The PDP is sure that the APC cannot convincingly defend Sen Tinubu against the charge in the unlikely event the APC wins, Vanguard reports.
Femi Fani-Kayode, the director of media and publicity of the PDP
presidential campaign organisation, on February 28 repeated his
accusations and mocked the APC’s statement.
“From the APC response, it is clear that they have something to hide. They clearly cannot deny this dangerous plot. Does a vampire ever admit to being a vampire? Did Dr. Jeckyll ever tell anyone that he was also Mr. Hyde? Does a demon ever admit to being a demon? Does darkness ever admit to being darkness? Do people that are obsessed with taking power at all costs and by any means ever admit that they are obsessed and desperate?
“We are not surprised by the denials of the APC in this matter. They are and will always be a party that is built on lies and that is headed by liars. The APC are now throwing stones and hurling baseless allegations and insults at our President, our leaders and our party. They forget that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
“It is not the PDP whose de facto leader was involved in an out-of-court settlement with the American Department of Justice for dealing in heroin. It is not the PDP whose presidential candidate killed people by the application of retroactive legislation and that sent innocent men to their early graves by sending them to jail unlawfully for hundreds of years without any recourse to due process. It is not the PDP whose leader has cornered 90 per cent of the contracts in all APC-controlled states in Yorubaland and that runs the affairs of the party as if it is his personal state.
“It is not the PDP whose leaders play religious politics and who cannot make a distinction between a political party and a cult. It is not the PDP whose leader went running to Paris, prostrated before those he met there and asked him to drop all criminal charges against him. We stand by our claims and the only thing that is outlandish in this matter is the bizarre and insatiable lust for power of the APC and those that are premising their presidential ambition on someone else’s demise.
“Such morbid projections have no place in any civilised society. The truth is that the APC is a party that is used to sordid, bizarre, byzantine and subterranean back-room deals where people take blood-chilling and cultic oaths and in which people are asked to sign perjurous and illegal letters of resignation even before they are elected into office. If anyone doubts that, they should ask Pastor Tunde Bakare who was asked to sign a letter of resignation by both Tinubu and Buhari in 2011 even when he had not been elected to the exalted position of Vice President.
“We stand by our claim and we warn the APC and their leaders to stop playing Russian roulette with the destiny of the Nigerian people. We also counsel them to stop playing voodoo politics. They can be rest assured that any arrangement or back room deal that is outside the democratic process and that is outside the will of the Nigerian people will be resisted. They must not throw our country into yet another round of crisis, turmoil, instability and uncertainty by entering into and attempting to enforce any sordid and unacceptable resignation pact which is designed to eventually usher in Bola Tinubu as President.
“We wish General Buhari good health and long life and it is only a small handful of desperate and unconscionable elements within the leadership of his own party that wish him otherwise. We advise him to watch his back and take full measures to protect himself against these desperate elements because their plan is, at the very worst, for either Tinubu to take over the position of Vice President after the planned resignation of Osinbajo and then wait for something untoward to happen to Buhari so that he can take over or, at best, for Osinbajo to take over and for Tinubu to rule through him.
“Both plans and projections are repugnant and they are both rooted in treachery. Whichever way, whether it is Buhari or Tinubu, these plans shall not come to pass because Buhari and the APC will not win the presidential election. We say this because, by the grace of God and the will of the Nigerian people, we shall give them the thrashing of their lives in that election.”
At the end of March it will become clear who will emerge as the winner of the rescheduled presidential elections.
Meanwhile the ‘hand-over’ plot comes after the recent claims by the PDP that Buhari travelled to London not to just to deliver a speech at Chatham House, but first to receive medical attention over his purportedly deteriorating health.
