Spokesperson of the PDP presidential campaign organisation Femi
Fani-Kayode has described APC's presidential flag bearer as a rep of
darkness while President Jonathan represents light. According to him,
General Buhari's records are shameful and disastrous. FFK said this
while addressing newsmen at the PDP campaign headquarters in Abuja today
January 7th
“We wish to inform you that it is our intention to run a clean campaign
that is based on facts, figures and issues. We shall not indulge in the
type of cheap propaganda, mud-slinging and deceit that the APC and their
Presidential candidate have been indulging in over the last few weeks
and months but it is our full intention to expose General Muhammadu
Buhari for what he really is, what he stands for and the great danger
that his candidacy portends for the unity of the Nigerian state and the
peace and well-being of the Nigerian people.
More importantly, we shall let the world know about the sterling
performance of our candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, over the last
four years and we shall make a strong case and appeal to the Nigerian
people to grant him the privilege and opportunity to serve a second
term. We believe that we have reached a crossroads in our nation’s
history and that the forthcoming Presidential Election is a battle for
the very soul and destiny of Nigeria. We believe that it is a struggle
between light and darkness. We believe that General Buhari represents
the darkness and that President Jonathan represents the light. We
believe that General Buhari represents a return to an ugly past which is
best forgotten while President Jonathan represents our hope for a
greater and better future. We believe that the APC, on which platform
General Buhari is contesting the presidential election, represents
everything that is unholy and unwholesome in our society and that the
PDP represents all that is decent and good. “We believe that the
much-vaunted ‘change’ campaign of General Buhari represents nothing but a
change from good to evil. If you want a positive change, you cannot
expect to get it from a man like General Buhari whose democratic
credentials are questionable and whose record in public office is
shameful and disastrous. Most people do not remember the atrocities
that he committed when he was in power and it is our intention to
document them and remind the Nigerian people about them.
Most people have chosen to ignore the number of things that General
Buhari has said and the number of things that he has done over the last
few months and years that have brought carnage, division and strife in
our society and that prove that he is not the sort of person that can be
trusted with power. It is our intention to bring those things to the
attention of the Nigerian people so that they can make an informed
choice. “We do not believe that Nigeria ought to be run by a man that is
not capable of tolerating dissent or by a political party like the APC
that has no sense of remorse, restraint or decency and that is not
capable of accepting a plurality of views. We believe that President
Goodluck Jonathan has earned the right for a second term and, in the
next few weeks, we shall make a humble appeal to the Nigerian people to
vote for him massively in the February 14 Presidential Election. By the
grace and power of God, we shall prevail.” he said
