The Presidency on Thursday appealed to President
Muhammadu Buhari’s supporters to ignore the crude speeches coming from
Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Saraki is one of the Presidential aspirants under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and
publicity, Garba Shehu, urged the Buhari supporters conduct themselves
and put across their points of view in a decent language.
He said “The Presidency wishes to react the crude
speeches hitting the news from Senator Bukola Saraki who recently joined
the Peoples Democratic Party with the sole ambition of running as the
president of Nigeria.
“In response the condemnable and extremely derogatory
speeches by the PDP aspirant, we urge all Buhari supporters to display
restraint in language and conduct and to always put across their points
of view in a decent language.
“Throughout his political career, Senator Saraki has
shown that he is a very dangerous person who can go any length to
promote his personal interests.
“The language of his campaign is such that cannot be used against a domestic help.
“Is he just knowing that the President lacked vision?
This is someone that the Senator had worked with very closely for more
than three years. Amazingly, he never said all that he is now saying
against him.
“Rather, his word for and on the President were always
respectful and reassuring. That’s the man he called “My Father,” about
him “there is no cause for alarm…a President who is healthy, witty and
himself.” What then changed, all of a sudden?
“Is he saying these blatantly false and crude things
against the President because he is gunning for the same office? Could
it be that he is targeting President Buhari because the party he just
joined does not have any real issues to highlight?
“Be that as it may, our appeal to our supporters is to
ignore Saraki and any such politicians bent on lowering the quality of
political discourse. Let them drown in their own waters.” he added
