APC National leader, Bola Tinubu, has accused PDP members of the trying
to create a feud between him and President Buhari. In a statement he
released through his media aide, Sunday Dare, Tinubu said recent
publications on social media tagged, ‘Destroy the reputation of Tinubu
and his relationship with Buhari’, shows that some disgruntled members
of the opposition were out to cause trouble. He stated that he has never
granted any interview discussing Buhari and the 2019 election. The
statement reads in part;
The individuals behind the plot are mostly scared PDP elements made
frightened by the Buhari anti-corruption campaign. They direct this
falsehood at Tinubu in the futile mission of trying to drive a wedge
between the President and Tinubu to disrupt the progress being made
against corruption and to destabilise the APC. But their PDP is already
something by-gone, buried under the mass of its corruption and
wrongdoing. They fight for a cause that has no cause. They are
mercenaries of all the ills and defects that the people want excised
from our body politic. Thus, we must do the people a public service. In
the last six weeks, the Tinubu Media Office has monitored the stream of
false, distorted media accounts written against Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We
have learned that there is a concerted, wilful campaign tagged, ‘Destroy
the reputation of Tinubu and his relationship with Buhari'. As part of
this ugly plot to cultivate the worst of lies against the national
leader of the APC, several blogs and online sites recruited to launch
this smear campaign have manufactured stories to advance this sinister
plan to taint the public mind with gross lies disguised as news reports
and interviews. Fallacious headlines such as ‘Reasons why I collected
N9m-Tinubu’ and ‘I will not return N9m-Tinubu”. “I am afraid PDP will
stop Buhari in 2019 – Tinubu,’ are being paraded. Try as hard as they
can the creators of these false tales and misleading headlines will fail
miserably. Their stories cannot stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
They are patently false and we condemn in the strongest terms those
involved in this anti-Tinubu racket. “While these fellows may think
themselves cunning, they might have outwitted their very selves. In
writing these stories, they have committed clear libel. In abusing the
media office letterhead and name, their misrepresentations amount to
forgery. They laugh now but walk on thin ice. Soon, that ice will break
and they shall have nothing but the weight of their wrongdoing to blame
for their predicament that will soon come. After identifying the
bloggers and paid hatchet writers perpetrating these wrongs, the Tinubu
Media Office is taking the step to alert the public to beware and be
weary of hatchet writers, false prophets and paid bloggers. The Tinubu
Media Office has the names and online sites recruited for this campaign
and will not hesitate to make them know if they do not desist from their
negative mission"he said
