Fani Kayode
The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation on Saturday
said that the All Progressives Congress cannot convincingly defend
Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu against the charge that he plans to supplant
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as vice president and ultimately General Muhammadu
Buhari as president in the unlikely event the APC wins the March 28
presidential election.
The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Femi Fani-Kayode, maintained that the wicked and ungodly plot would fail.
Fani-Kayode,
who dismissed the response by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai
Mohammed to the plot as feeble, said rather than respond to the
reported conspiratorial plot, Mohammed claimed that the issue was meant
to “divert attention from the runaway success of the APC presidential
candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, at the Chatham House in London last
Thursday”.
He
said: “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. This is graphically reflected by the first
name of their party spokesman who is known as LIE Mohammed. 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 worse, 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
perfidious and repugnant and they are both rooted in treachery. They
also reflect the mindset of evil and desperate men who are prepared to
betray the interest of their own party members and presidential
candidate in a sordid attempt to grab power. We have done a great
service to the Nigerian people by exposing this evil plot and no matter
how much the leadership of the APC denies it, the cat is out of the bag
and the Nigerian people are now fully aware of their evil plans.
“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.
Rather than prepare to become the President of Nigeria through the back
door, the individual that has hatched this wicked plan should prepare
himself to be the leader of the opposition for the next four years
because his party will be shattered, humbled and thoroughly demystified
on March 28th.
