All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation accused the President Goodluck Jonathan led PDP government as a badly scripted jaded comedy of blame-game which engages in what it called ludicrous holding others but themselves accountable for every mess of their administration a comic pastime.

In a statement by the director of media and publicity for the APC Presidential campaign organization, Garba Shehu said that it is laughable for the PDP and its government to point accusing fingers at the APC for the current fuel scarcity when they were full aware that it was only a matter of time before the politically-motivated stop-gap policies they had put in place would come haunting them.

Garba Shehu said that the latest tirade from the PDP offers the clearest indication of the incompetence of the Jonathan government for which Nigerians are ready to vote them out on March 28.

“To say the least we at the APCPCO see this latest antic of the PDP and its government as a comic relief for which discerning Nigerians are not amused at all.  It has become the signature tune of the PDP and its government to blame the APC and its presidential candidate and party stalwarts for every mess they have made of the lives of Nigerians in virtually every facet.

“With the latest cry-baby antic Nigerians can now see the PDP and its government for what they truly are: incompetent and clueless. What else are they going to accuse the APC and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari of?

“Will they accuse Buhari and APC of being behind the erratic power supply for which manufacturers are threatening to shut down their plants and for which jobs have already been lost? May be the PDP and President Jonathan will also accuse the APC and Buhari of causing the pervasive poverty and unemployment in the country?  Or they will accuse them of having caused the mismanagement of security by this government; of being responsible for the free fall of the price of crude of oil and  the exchange rate? Don’t be surprised if tomorrow the PDP and the Jonathan government hold the APC, General Buhari and the stalwarts of the opposition party responsible for the inability of the chickens in Aso Rock Villa to lay eggs!

Garba Shehu advised the PDP and Jonathan government to own up to their incompetence, apologise to Nigerians over their failed leadership and pave the way for Nigerians to get the change they desire by conducting a credible, free and fair elections on March 28 and April 11. [myad]

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation has blamed All Progressives Congress (APC) for the sudden fuel scarcity in many parts of the country, saying it is a case of sabotage.
In a statement today by the director of media and publicity of the PDP presidential campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode said the APC has infiltrated the ranks of the fuel marketers.
He said that the fuel marketers have taken a sub-contract from the opposition to frustrate supplies of petrol to fuel stations as part of a grand plan to create tension in the polity.
“We know who the fuel marketers are.  We know the relationship that exists between one of the biggest fuel marketers and a national leader of the APC. These unconscionable opposition elements infiltrated the ranks of the fuel marketers, whom they have contracted, in a calculated attempt to frustrate the good efforts of government.
“Why have they taken this time when all hands are on deck for the March 28 elections to cause this artificial fuel scarcity?  The situation is so bad that they are not importing the product. They are even threatening tank farmers not to release any fuel in their depot in order to sustain the shortage. We are aware that the tank farmers have reported the threat to the Police and other security agencies.
“This shows how desperate and wicked the opposition APC can be in their quest for presidential power.  Must they make Nigerians suffer simply because they want to rule?  They must desist from this act of sabotage.
“The opposition should not take delight in celebrating over the pains and sufferings of Nigerians as they have continued to do with the Boko Haram attacks on our people and nation.
“The APC’s penchant to diminish the gallantry of our Armed Forces in the battle to defeat insurgency in the northeast zone whilst mocking the government whenever the insurgents bomb and take over villages in the zone, must be condemned by well-meaning Nigerians.
“This predilection exposes and portrays the APC and its leaders as forces of retrogression with a devilish mindset to unleash the worst form of anarchy on the nation before, during and after the March 28 presidential election because they know their party and presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari will be dealt a crushing blow by President Goodluck Jonathan at the polls.
“The PDPPCO also wishes to use this medium to alert the nation on the lingering plot by the opposition elements who have been sponsoring their agents of destruction in the power sector to vandalise critical infrastructure in order to reduce the megawatts of electricity that is being generated and reverse the gains that government is making in the sector.” [myad]

National leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has described the director of media and publicity for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode as agent of character assassination and hatchet man of PDP.
Tinubu, who obviously reacted to Fani-Kayode latest allegation that he (Tinubu) is planning to become President of Nigeria through APC from the backdoor, in a statement today, also described Fani-Kayode and people in PDP as a bunch of liars.
Tinubu said that the mind of Fani-Kayode is an agent of mayhem and a foreigner to facts, adding that the last time he checked, the APC ticket was a Buhari/Osinbajo one.
The APC leader made it clear that the ticket would remain the way it is, stressing: “that is what it is and that is what shall stand.”
He said that Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he thinks he is, describing his statement as nothing more than lines of hysteria full of extreme sentiment and surging desperation.
“His statement indicates that even he now realises that his paymaster has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo. The game is over. The whistle has blown. What the fantasy man seeks to do is change the game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes that the outcome will be better. Fani-Kayode now grasps at straw in the night wind.”
Asiwaju Tinubu’s statement reads:
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign continues its descent. This is to be expected because the truth stings them harshly. They have become a factory of lies. A few days ago, the agent of character assassination who doubles as the busy hatchet man of the PDP accused Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of plotting to be vice president then President through subterfuge.
Clearly, he has exposed the confusion and contradiction within his party and has veered off from the real debate. But he cannot avoid the storm of change already unleashed by the APC.
However, the only subterfuge involved in this entire episode, is that eating at Femi Fani-Kayode’s mind. His mind is an agent of mayhem and a foreigner to facts. The last time we checked, the APC ticket was a Buhari/Osinbajo one. That is what it is and that is what shall stand.
Fani-Kayode is not as smart as he thinks. If you read between the lines of his hysteria, you will see another extreme sentiment: that of surging desperation. His statement indicates that even he now realises that his paymaster has lost to Buhari/Osinbajo. The game is over. The whistle has blown. What the fantasy man seeks to do is change the game. He seeks to run against Tinubu in hopes that the outcome will be better. Fani-Kayode now grasps at straw in the night wind.
Fani-Kayode is on a futile journey to shield the populace from seeing the failures of his paymasters. His statement taken in context indicates that his paymasters will lose the election. They are now worried about what will happen thereafter. The majority of Nigerians have concluded that they have done enough damage to our politics, economy and security; and cannot be tolerated any longer. Rather, they should be voted out by the people. Their journey of lies and deception is at its terminal point. It lied to Nigerians and the international community that elections had to be shifted first because of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) issue and later, it became a security ambush to change the date, thus aborting Nigeria’s date with destiny at the polls.
That FFK (Femi Fani-Kayode) is the best a ruling party can do as a spokesman speaks volumes about the PDP. They are bereft of talents and characters. They are filled with lies and chicanery. FFK is simply the worst and most outspoken of a bad lot. However, we welcome his interventions. They are of such low quality and base character. His utterances frighten people but not in the way FFK intended.
Instead of scaring the people away from the APC, his work scares people that someone so unfit is so close to the seat of power, someone so unhinged is given free rein to spit bile and call that public discourse. One must wonder who is unbalanced, the misfit or he who hires him. Keep at it FFK. Continue!
Most Nigerians are fed up with this government and desire change. They await eagerly that opportunity at the polls. They cannot tolerate four more years of a Fani-Kayode of his paymasters and his utterances. That is your agony Fani-Kayode and of course that of the PDP and its gang of destroyers. You will not be able to deceive majority of Nigerians who are prepared to use their vote for a positive change. And if only to shield the populace from your peculiar brand of abuse of power, both you and your boss must go. The APC is committed to bringing reforms to our institutions, recovery to our economy and relief to millions of our citizens who are suffering.
This latest episode showed that Fani-Kayode’s hallucinations are now uncontrollable. Again, unable to make headway against Buhari and Osinbajo, he now wants to run against Tinubu.
This plot will not work. Tinubu is not scheming to become president through the back door. He, just like any qualified Nigerian has the right to walk in through the front door if he so desires. But he is not on the ticket.
For the job he is hired to do, it is expected that a Fani-Kayode will be blinded to the positive nature of the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket. If he has failed to read and do some research on the character of an Osinbajo, let me help him. Yemi Osinbajo is fiercely independent. A brilliant mind of great character and and a consummate reformer and legal crusader. You will not dare speak of him in this manner. The APC ticket is of people of great resolve. But because among your own crowd, you have people who will willingly destroy, not only our institutions and country, you think so of others. APC is a party with people of impeccable character, courageous and patriotic leaders, who are out to rescue our nation. And you – Fani-Kayode – are on record to have said so in several interviews.
If FFK cannot recognise that Tinubu is a talent-seeker, man of vision, one who creates opportunities for the best minds to thrive and serve the public, then he deserves our pity. Tinubu’s hand is writ large in the brand of good governance pervading the Southwest and other parts of Nigeria. He is a hunter for talents as exemplified in Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos, who has redefined governance; talented and hardworking Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State; indefatigable Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State; eclectic Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State; the relentless Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and until recently, Kayode Fayemi, who served Ekiti well. Yemi Osinbajo belongs to this tribe of excellent public servants.
The APC still parades other governors who continue to excel across the country. The likes of Governor Rabiu Kwankwos in Kano; the tireless Governor Wamakko of Sokoto State and other governors in Borno, Rivers, Yobe, Kwara – all of them committed to bringing change to their people.
Bola Tinubu is helping to build the great platform for change; wholeheartedly working and supporting the APC ticket because he believes it is the last best hope to rescue Nigeria from the disaster FFK and his ilks will want to continue to rule us if allowed to. I pray Nigerians will not allow them to misgovern us a day beyond May 29. If FFK pretends not to know of Tinubu’s efforts to build and support the APC, it comes as no surprise. Fani-Kayode tried before to be part of the party but left when he found out there was no room for his games. Because the APC could not help to free him from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and aviation fraud, he ran away to the party that blocked the EFCC on his behalf.
On record are Tinubu’s efforts and his contributions to rebuilding the nation and ensuring its democracy. They are his patriotic obligations. People like FFK will never understand this. Patriotism is not part of their personal constitution. Everything they do has a private beginning and personal end. They do nothing regarding the public purpose except to lie about it.
I will not dignify FFK’s outrageous lies with any reply. All I know is that Nigerians know that he is a peddler of falsehood. And millions of Nigerians are with the APC and its leaders.
Tinubu, like millions of APC members, is pleased with the performance of the APC ticket on the campaign trail and looks forward to greater accomplishments from the Buhari/Osinbajo team once in office.
Let me restate that Tinubu is a committed democrat and he has demonstrated that times over. He is one man that has chosen to serve this country to the best of his ability. By God’s grace and the support of millions of Nigerians, APC will go on to win the March presidential election and Gen Muhammadu Buhari and Prof Osinbajo will go ahead to be sworn in to lead this country to better times.
Fani-Kayode cannot just leave Tinubu alone because they see him as their political nemesis. But Tinubu will not be their dart board If they want to see the culprit behind their flagging misfortune, they do not need to glare at Tinubu. They should go home and peer into the nearest mirror. Therein their trouble lies.
Now, FFK has revealed why his party, the PDP has consistently persecuted Bola Tinubu through phony Code of Conduct Tribunal, massive unjustified attacks against his character and integrity, intimidation and harassment. They all have failed. In what is a classic case of abuse of power, the government you now work for have accused Tinubu in the past of baseless and unproven allegations, whereas in your party, including yourself, there are wolves feasting on the commonwealth of the people. For a leadership that cannot define corruption and theft, we are left with a gang of plunderers.
You have openly and secretly stolen and plundered the wealth of the nation without the slightest concern about morality and the suffering masses.
The fiction of a thousand Fani-Kayodes cannot stop an idea whose time has come. The APC is committed to upholding and respecting the tenets of democracy and of bringing a new government that will usher in a new day for a new Nigeria. And that is what Fani-Kayode and his party cannot handle.
The nation has had enough of their shamelessness. Please pack up. It is time to go. [myad]

Director of media and publicity for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi-Fani Kayode has gone personal. He told the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) whose Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari he had so insulted that it did not matter what it felt about him now.
“Whether the APC wishes me well or not, I shall live long and prosper. What they think about me is neither here nor there and I lose no sleep over it.  It is only what God thinks about me that matters and they are not God. They do not like me and I do not like them and that is fine by me.  We do not need to like each other and all we need to do is to meet in the field.”
Obviouly short of what say to attack General Buhari again, Fani-Kayode made a statement today saying: “I do not need their good wishes and neither do I crave their goodwill. Rather than continuously talking about me and making infantile and primitive statements, they should spend their time praying for the soul of the late and great PDP leader, Chief Funso Williams, who would have been governor of Lagos state, who was mysteriously murdered a few years ago by a group of evil, power-hungry and callous men, and who was a formidable political adversary of Tinubu.  We pray every day that God should avenge Funso Williams and bring those that killed him to justice.”
The PDP Presidential campaign spokesman suggested to the APC members to purge themselves of their obvious obsession with him but to pray for the fortunes of their candidate, General Buhari because, according to him: “he is in trouble and he is surrounded by snakes and vampires. “They should pray that God will keep General Buhari safe from the enemy within.  The problem with the Tinubu wing of the APC is that they are so used to dishing out rubbish about other people that it has affected their minds and their ability to say anything reasonable or rational.”  [myad]
