PDP spokesperson is sick, APC says

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organization, Femi Fani-Kayode is ‘apparently ailing.’

The APC stated this in response to Fani-Kayode’s allegations that party leader, Bola Tinubu is planning to take over office and that Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari is suffering from a variety of ailments.

The opposition party stated that the PDP spokesperson’s comments were an attempt to divert attention from Buhari’s successful appearance at Chatham House, London on Thursday, February 26.

The APC made its position known via a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.

''Our presidential candidate's globally-acclaimed outing has presented Nigerians, and indeed the global community, with a choice between a bumbling, ineffective, incoherent, clueless, visionless and incompetent President and an assertive, knowledgeable, dignified, purposeful and principled President-in-waiting,” the statement reads.

''Having failed to discredit that outing with a rented crowd, some of whom confessed to have been paid to carry placards they do not even understand, the PDP and the Jonathan Administration have now resorted to making nauseating claims that are totally untrue, absolutely incomprehensible and nothing but sheer bunkum,” it added.

''They have thrown everything imaginable at Buhari, but he has continued to wax stronger and stronger: They said he was not qualified, that he was too old, then they fabricated a medical report of an illness of their own choice, sponsored death wish adverts against him and instituted a myriad of court cases to stop him,” it continued.

''With everything working against them, they engaged in a show of shame at The Chatham House that backfired badly, on the heels of their bare-faced lies that Gen. Buhari was hospitalized in London. The preposterous claim of a secret oath - reminiscent of what they do in their own party - by the apparently ailing spokesman of the Jonathan Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode, is their latest desperate act,'' the statement said

Fani-Kayode had earlier accused the APC of covering up Buhari’s ill-health and plotting to replace him with Tinubu.
