PDP asks Buhari to call Lai Mohammed to order

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as “reckless, irresponsible and highly provocative,” an earlier statement issued by Lai Mohammed, spokesman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In the statement, Mohammed alleged that officials of Jonathan’s administration looted trillions of naira.

Reacting, Olisa Metuh, PDP’s spokesman, said: “the spate of fabrications by Mohammed had become a sickening source of worry for well-meaning Nigerians including those in his party”.

“President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC as a party should call their spokesman to order before he plunges the country into crisis with wild and unsubstantiated claims.

“In trying to escalate their stock-in-trade of lies, wild allegations and falsehood, the APC failed to understand that their baseless fabrications are capable of throwing an unsuspecting nation into chaos.

“Instead of engaging in unnecessary playing to the gallery, the APC-led government should get serious with the fight against corruption by investigating and prosecuting corrupt persons, while moving on with the demands of governance, especially in fulfilling their numerous campaign promises for which they were voted into office at the centre.”
