Fani-Kayode also stated that the APC had budgeted $2 million for the documentary which would be released three days to the March 28 Presidential elections.

The spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organization, Femi Fani Kayode has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of plotting to release a scandalous documentary filled with falsehoods about President Goodluck Jonathan.

The PDP spokesperson made the allegations via a statement released on Wednesday, March 18.

The statement reads:

“There are three issues that we wish to bring to the attention of the Nigerian Public today, all reflecting the sheer desperation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to get power.”

“One: It has been brought to our attention by members of the covert and special operations unitof this Directorate that certain unpatriotic steps are being taken by the opposition in an attempt to discredit not just the President, but also his government and indeed our entire country.”

“As we are addressing you,a scurrilous and utterly baseless documentary and video has been commissionedand compiled by them. It is titled ‘’Nigerians…What Is Going On’’. In the documentary the opposition has listed some areas which they claim reflect the corrupt nature of the Nigerian people, the nature of the President and the nature of the government that he is heading.”

“All manner of lies, deceit, fabrication, slander, falsehood and misrepresentation of the basic facts are in the documentary. The whole thing is simply an attempt to denigrate the Nigerian people and bring is into disrepute and opprobrium before the International community.”

“Two million dollars was budgeted for this irresponsible and shameful project and the services of no less than three specialists and well known international spin doctors from two western countries were procured.”

“These specialists are now in Nigeria to put finishing touches to their project. The whole idea is to perfect the work and then release it to the international television networks and the Nigerian public three days before the elections.”

“I will not go into detail about the contents now but some of the subheadings are as follows: $15 million US Private Jet Arms Scandal, N5 trillion stolen under Jonathan, N21 billion Pension funds embezzled, N10 billion private jet scandal, N1.6 trillion oil subsidy scandal, and much more.”

“The objective of the planned documentary is to incite the people, to destabilise the country and to bring the President into utter disrepute. In order to achieve, these effectively consistent personal attacks will be launched on key government officials.”

“This documentary, which we consider to be very dangerous, is full of false and irresponsible postulations about what is going on in this country and if it is released in its present form it is capable of setting Nigeria on fire.”

“We are letting the Nigerian people know about this in good time in order to pre-empt it and we want the opposition to be fully aware of the fact that we know what they are doing, what they are planning, when they were planning it and who is involved. We also know the amount budgeted for this project, who is disbursing the money and what their real intentions are.”

“We also want them to be fully aware of the fact that even if General Muhammadu Buhari, Bola Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi or any of them are in their toilets, in their bedrooms, in their covens or anywhere else they may choose to hide and hold their secret meetings, we know what they are doing.”

Fani Kayode had earlier said that the leaders of the APC are ritualists and cultists.
