Mr Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Director, Strategic Communication for President Muhammadu Buhari 2019, has urged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to quit the race now.
He said this on Wednesday after Nigerian investors in 9Mobile and Keystone Bank punctured the share-grabbing allegation Atiku levelled against the Buhari family.
In a statement entitled: “We call on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to retain some honour by throwing in the towel now,” issued by Keyamo on Wednesday, he said his counsel for Atiku followed the refutal by investors in Etisalat, now 9Mobile and Keystone Bank that the family members of President Buhari had nothing to do with both companies.
Keyamo said in the release: “The Buhari campaign took the refutal as another indication of the fast-collapsing campaign of the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and that of the PDP”.
“The result of the fact-check which was published in some news outlets clearly shows the depth of desperation, deceit and debauchery to which the Atiku campaign has sunk. They have no moral compass, no scruples, no direction in their present attempt to smear just everyone in sight in order to run a campaign of ‘we-are-all-corrupt.’
“Rather than respect the feelings of Nigerians by offering clear-cut responses to straight-forward allegations of tax-evasion, grand corruption in and out of office, impending sealed indictment waiting for him in the US, Atiku Abubakar has decided to drag the world down with him as he goes down in a blaze of infamy. He has decided to go wild with unsubstantiated allegations against the President and Vice President, throwing caution to the wind in the process.
“We alerted the public about this impending avalanche of fake news a few days ago. This is the classic hallmark of a sinking campaign boat, clutching at straws, as Nigerians have woken up to the realisation that these are deceitful people who have nothing to offer. That is how its Vice-Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi was reeling out false statistics with a straight face throughout the Vice-Presidential debate. Till today, he has not apologised to Nigerians for taking them for a ride. It is a real shame.
“We call on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP to apologise to Nigerians and especially the family of the President for adopting these unwholesome tactics and telling tales by moonlight that has clearly backfired.
“The public space is now full of jokes about President Buhari buying the whole of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the National Stadium and even the Presidential Villa.
“Instead of making a mockery of a serious campaign with such infantile lies, Atiku Abubakar should admit it is all over for him and the PDP, throw in the towel and endorse the candidacy of President Buhari. We would be sad to see that happen because democracy desires a healthy contest, a serious challenger and a competent opposition. But as it is, with nothing more to campaign about, it is the only way for him and his party to save face and still retain some modicum of honour before the Nigerian people for future engagements – that is if they survive this massive rejection by the Nigerian people as a result of their bare-faced lies.”
Because he’s blatant liar
He runs out of ideas
Kukuma tell us that you guys APC are scared of Atiku. #AFAU
Na waha ooo APC deceiving story again,is only a fool will stand with buhari,opened ur eyes very well is time to vote APC deceiving government out of power next month
Keyamo should be asked to focus on his strategic assignment rather than throwing tantrum at Atiku on a daily basis.
