You Are Trying To Blackmail And Bully The Presidential Tribunal With Your Lies – PDP Slams FG

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has slammed Information and Culture Minister Lai Mohammed for referring to opposition parties as shameless losers.

The PDP, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, in Abuja on Sunday, insisted that Mohammed’s claims were merely aimed at bullying and blackmailing the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

The party claimed that its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, won the presidential election on February 25, 2023, based on actual votes cast at Polling Units across the country.

Ologunagba said;

Nigerians are invited to note that Lai Mohammed’s comment is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari made similar subjudice comment in his widely condemned attempt to justify the rigging of the Presidential election, which case is pending before the Tribunal.

It is indeed appalling that Lai Mohammed could attempt to defend the outcome of a fraudulently conducted election which has been adjudged as the worst in the history of elections in Nigeria and which has attracted nationwide and international outrage against the Buhari administration.

By stating that President Buhari deserved “accolades” for conducting a globally condemned Presidential election and describing well-meaning Nigerians as “shameless sore losers”, Lai Mohammed has further confirmed the complicity of the Buhari administration, in which he serves as mouthpiece, in one of the most reprehensible election swindles in the history of democracy.

The PDP, on the other hand, stated that they were not surprised by Lai Mohammed’s statement, claiming that the Buhari-led APC administration is well-known for lying, deceit, and falsehood.

The opposition party went on to warn the APC and the Buhari-led Federal Executive for the umpteenth time against attempting to bully the judiciary in the handling of the Presidential election petitions pending before the Tribunal.

The facts of the rigging of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election are well known to Nigerians and the PDP will not relent until it reclaims its mandate at the Tribunal, Ologunagba added.
