Treason: Atiku replies FG, says Lai Moh’d a liar, Buhari desperate dictator

 

Former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, has slammed the Federal Government for  accusing him and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of treason.

The PDP’s presidential candidate said the accusation that he is a saboteur as false, just as he described the `Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, as a ‘liar.’

Abubakar was reacting to an earlier statement by  Mohammed that the former vice president and his party, PDP, were plotting to sabotage the Buhari administration.

“Either by themselves or via their proxies, the PDP and its presidential candidate are doing everything possible to sabotage the Buhari Administration, generally overheat the polity and make Nigeria seemingly ungovernable, especially through their public utterances and their poorly-thought-out press releases before and after the 2019 general elections,”  Mohammed said.

In his response, Abubakar said: “It is not surprising that such a despicable lie is emanating from  Lai Mohammed, President Buhari’s aptly named Minister of Information.”

Abubakar also described  Buhari as a dictator. He accused the president of plotting to implicate the opposition in phantom plots.

“We want to know why the desperation on the part of the Muhammadu Buhari government to rope in the Peoples Democratic Party and its Presidential candidate in phantom plots?”  Abubakar said in a statement by his spokesperson, Paul Ibe.

The statement reads in part:

My attention has been drawn to accusations by the Muhammadu Buhari led administration against the candidate of the Presidential Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 elections and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, alleging that he has made treasonable statements.

It is not surprising that such a despicable lie is emanating from Mr. Lai Mohammed, President Buhari’s aptly named Minister of Information.

Lai Mohammed is so associated with lies that even Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said, on Monday, May 13, 2019, as follows:

“People like Lai Mohammed, Abba Kyari, Adamu Adamu they are usually very well behaved during the Ramadan. But I’m not even sure that that is true anymore.”

When we have a situation where even those who employed him know that Lai Mohammed is a liar, who will even lie during the holy month of Ramadan, then why should Nigerians be surprised at this latest lie?

Mr Lai Mohammed is only being clever by half when he says “It beggars belief that a candidate who prides himself as a democrat can so allow desperation to becloud his sense of propriety to such an extent that he will be associating with anti-democratic forces or making inflammatory statements.”

Atiku Abubakar is a man of peace and a thoroughbred democrat. It is preposterous that those who threatened to ‘soak the dog and the baboon in blood’ are now audacious enough to point the finger at lifelong democrats. Truly, if the farmer does not raise the alarm on time, the thief will accuse him of being a thief.
