2023: PDP ALLEGES BUHARI’S SELF-SUCCESSION PLOT
THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP) HAS ALLEGED THAT THE ASSERTION BY THE PRESIDENCY THAT NIGERIANS WILL BE WAITING FOR PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI “TO SHOW THE WAY IN 2023” HAS FURTHER HEIGHTENED PUBLIC APPREHENSIONS OF SELF-SUCCESSION PLOT BY “THE CABAL IN THE PRESIDENCY.”
THE MAIN OPPOSITION PARTY WAS REACTING TO A STATEMENT BY PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN, GARBA SHEHU, WHO SUGGESTED IN DAURA ON TUESDAY THAT THE PDP AND THE OPPOSITION PARTIES WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WIN THE 2023 ELECTION.
IN A STATEMENT ISSUED BY KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, PDP NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY, THE PARTY SAID NIGERIANS WERE JOLTED WHEN THE PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN, SHEHU GARBA, PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED IN DAURA, MR. PRESIDENT’S HOMETOWN, THAT PRESIDENT BUHARI “CONSTITUTES A POLITICAL OBSTACLE” WHICH THOSE WHO SEEK TO SUCCEED HIM, COME 2023 “CANNOT DISMANTLE”.
IT SAID SUCH A STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENCY, WHICH IS IN ITS LAST LAP OF THE SECOND AND FINAL TENURE IN OFFICE, WAS NOT ONLY PROVOCATIVE BUT ALSO SMACKS OF PLOTS TO DERAIL OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC ORDER.
