Quest for power is responsible for smear campaign against President Buhari – Presidency
The presidency has alleged that a planned publication has launched a campaign to smear the identity of the President.
In a statement made by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina titled; “Unrelenting plot to wage smear campaign against President Buhari”, he claimed that this medium will launch publications to allege that the president will use the powers of his office to shield and protect an ethnic group against crimes of murder, kidnappings, rape and banditry in the southern, middle belt and some northern states.
According to Adesina, this is all in a quest for power and filthy lucre
The statement read;
“Part of the planned publication is to make unwary readers believe that the President has continually used the powers of his office to shield and protect an ethnic group against crimes of murder, kidnappings, rape and banditry in the southern, middle belt and some northern states.
“The publication will also refer Nigerians to a 58-page document, which chronicles purported atrocities of the ethnic group in the South since 2017, all of which it claims the Presidency has turned blind eyes to. Again, the hatchet job will allege that the President has continued to place members of his ethnic nationality in sensitive positions, so as to confer undue advantage on them. This allegation is by no means supported with reasonable facts and figures.
“Just on Thursday, President Buhari, while meeting with the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), led by Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, restated his even-handedness on the issues of ethnicity and religion. Said the President: ‘The Federal Government under my leadership does not, and will not, allow religious prejudice or partisanship to influence any of its decisions and policies. It is my solemn decision to be fair and just to all segments of society.’
“Those who are bent on stoking ethnic and religious unrest in the country remain deaf to reason, and impervious to reality. They are hell-bent on distorting reality, and Nigerians are urged to be wary of them. It is all about quest for power, and filthy lucre.”
I believe people judge by what they see and hear, they are not just accusing Mr president for nothing. He is very much guilty of protecting his ethic group and also putting them in strategic positions in the country.
Something meaningful must be done if you don’t want us to be believe that presidency is not shielding certain ethnic groups from their atrocities.
Body language of president is not something to reckon with, we need action not talking.
You president aids are just protecting him without any tangible justification, you would see white and call it black for him, this is bad.
With all what is happening in the land, would you people pretending that nothing is happening in the country, what people are saying is not political campaign.
it’s not quest for power but his lack good leadership and good listening hears that his killing his administration and himself….
