Spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign
organisation Femi Fani-Kayode has described
APC's presidential flag bearer as a rep of
darkness while President Jonathan represents
light. According to him, General Buhari's records
are shameful and disastrous. FFK said this while
addressing newsmen at the PDP campaign
headquarters in Abuja today January 7th
“We wish to inform you that it is our
intention to run a clean campaign that is
based on facts, figures and issues.
We shall
not indulge in the type of cheap
propaganda, mud-slinging and deceit that
the APC and their Presidential candidate
have been indulging in over the last few
weeks and months but it is our full
intention to expose General Muhammadu
Buhari for what he really is, what he stands
for and the great danger that his candidacy
portends for the unity of the Nigerian state
and the peace and well-being of the
Nigerian people.
More importantly, we shall let the world
know about the sterling performance of our
candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan,
over the last four years and we shall make
a strong case and appeal to the Nigerian
people to grant him the privilege and
opportunity to serve a second term. We
believe that we have reached a crossroads
in our nation’s history and that the
forthcoming Presidential Election is a battle
for the very soul and destiny of Nigeria.
We
believe that it is a struggle between light
and darkness. We believe that General
Buhari represents the darkness and that
President Jonathan represents the light. We
believe that General Buhari represents a
return to an ugly past which is best
forgotten while President Jonathan
represents our hope for a greater and better
future. We believe that the APC, on which
platform General Buhari is contesting the
presidential election, represents everything
that is unholy and unwholesome in our
society and that the PDP represents all that
is decent and good. “We believe that the
much-vaunted ‘change’ campaign of
General Buhari represents nothing but a
change from good to evil. If you want a
positive change, you cannot expect to get it
from a man like General Buhari whose
democratic credentials are questionable and
whose record in public office is shameful
and disastrous. Most people do not
remember the atrocities that he committed
when he was in power and it is our
intention to document them and remind the
Nigerian people about them.
Most people have chosen to ignore the
number of things that General Buhari has
said and the number of things that he has
done over the last few months and years
that have brought carnage, division and
strife in our society and that prove that he
is not the sort of person that can be
trusted with power. It is our intention to
bring those things to the attention of the
Nigerian people so that they can make an
informed choice. “We do not believe that
Nigeria ought to be run by a man that is
not capable of tolerating dissent or by a
political party like the APC that has no
sense of remorse, restraint or decency and
that is not capable of accepting a plurality
of views. We believe that President
Goodluck Jonathan has earned the right for
a second term and, in the next few weeks,
we shall make a humble appeal to the
Nigerian people to vote for him massively in
the February 14 Presidential Election. By the
grace and power of God, we shall prevail.”
