All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO) Wednesday said that Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu lied when he stated that its presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari signed to serve only one term if elected president.
Describing the governor as an incurable liar afflicted with the diarrhoea of the mouth, APCPCO said in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said the idea was a figment of Aliyu’s imagination.
The statement added that the thought was jaundiced, ill-motivated and irresponsible.
APCPCO added that Aliyu has made a bad career of misguided claims, presenting himself as a clairvoyant fly perching on the walls of political meetings across the country.
The Campaign Organization further described the “insinuation as the outbursts of a perpetual rabble-rouser, amateurish ethno-religious propagandist and unrepentant mischief-maker bent on stocking division and disaffection in the APC.”
APCPCO said it was not surprising at Governor Aliyu’s blatant lies considering that he has also been at the centre of controversy of being in possession of a letter in which his party’s presidential candidate signed onto a one-term pact with governors of the ruling party.
“When has this Governor of a grossly underdeveloped state suddenly become a clairvoyant who knows what obtains in places where he was never present or represented? Is he an APC member? If not, how and where did he get his information from? And what Northern Nigeria is he representing?
Nigerians are wiser now and they know what to do come March 28 and April 11. For the time being, our suggestion to Governor Babangida is that he should use the balance of his time in office to right a few wrongs in his state, currently adjudged as the most lacking in the North when it comes to development,” the statement said.
