THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, of diverting funds meant for the military equipment and welfare of the nation’s soldiers fighting insurgency in the northeast, to produce partisan materials for All Progressives Congress (APC) re-election campaign.
A statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary in Abuja on Monday, alleged that the minister diverted part of the military funds to produce APC’s campaign materials including an electronic momento book, “on which he ascribed credit to himself and the APC, while our soldiers suffer neglect in the war front.”
The party maintained that the placing of APC logo alongside that of the Ministry of Defence on the memento confirms its position “that the Buhari Presidency has compromised our defence architecture for Mr President’s re-election project.”

The statement added: “Our party considers it insensitive and a gross impunity for the Minister of Defence to be engaging in patronising souveniers for President Buhari at a time when our soldiers are being killed in their numbers.
“It is also instructive to note that President Muhammadu Buhari, as Mr Integrity, has not reprimanded the minister, ostensibly, given that the diversion of public funds for his re-election campaign is now a policy of the APC and the Buhari Presidency.
“Nigerians can now see how the Buhari Presidency and the APC have turned the Ministry of Defence into their Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) to fund their re-election, at the detriment of our citizens who are being daily attacked by insurgents and marauders in various parts of our country.
“There is a fixation in the Buhari Presidency on winning the 2019 elections at all cost even at the expense of the lives of Nigerians.”
The PDP noted that “with these revelations, the APC has proven to be a soulless mob, which has no interest in the good of our nation, but desperate to hang onto power by all means.”
The party, therefore, called for an open investigation into the handling of military funds “to unravel those benefitting from the racket especially given allegation that some persons close to the President are being used as conduits to fritter public funds for President Buhari’s re-election and their wasteful lifestyles.
no he did not divert the fund, he only save it for next year election so that he can enter the next level of killing of our dear soldiers

*FIVE (5) REASONS WHY PRESIDENT MUHAMMED BUHARI WILL WIN 2019 GENERAL ELECTION*
They are those who say he’s failed so woefully, » a second term is well beyond his and the APC’s grasp. They are those who beg to differ, telling everyone who cares to listen that Buhari is still the best thing to happen to this country since sliced bread.
For all the hoopla over Buhari’s perceived ‘incompetence’ out there, the man is on the cusp of getting re-elected and here’s why:
1. *Registered voters in geopolitical zones*
Out of the 73,944,312 registered voters across Nigeria, as of January 2018 , » the Northwest had a total of 18,505,984 voters while the Southeast had 8,293,093.
The North central had 10,586,965 registered voters, while the North east zone had 9,929,015. The Southwest had the second highest number of registered voters with 14,626,800.
The South south as a whole had 11,101,093 registered voters.
Look at those numbers again and it begins to hit you—the APC strongholds of Southwest and North, have the highest number of registered voters. The Southeast and South South where anti-Buhari sentiments are pretty strong, are still playing catch-up.
For all our social media rants, when the North votes, it often votes big. Ask Kano.
If the North and Southwest settle for Buhari again, the smart money is on him getting re-elected.
2. *There is no opposition*
The PDP has become a joke since it lost the center in 2015. The party spent two years trying to put its house in order » after Goodluck Jonathan got trounced by Buhari.
My big brother in this business, Simon Kolawole, captured it all in his latest Sunday column:
“PDP, as presently constituted, is still the strongest opposition platform. But its brand image is not sparkling. After overcoming the storm-in-a-tea-cup internal imbroglio which many swore had the hand of APC, the PDP is now perceived as the property of one or two Governors.
“Meanwhile, the SDP has been telling us that Governors and senators will defect
