Tinubu accuses PDP members of trying to create a feud between him and Buhari

APC National leader, Bola Tinubu, has accused
PDP members of the trying to create a feud
between him and President Buhari. In a statement
he released through his media aide, Sunday Dare,
Tinubu said recent publications on social media
tagged, ‘Destroy the reputation of Tinubu and his
relationship with Buhari’, shows that some
disgruntled members of the opposition were out
to cause trouble. He stated that he has never
granted any interview discussing Buhari and the
2019 election. The statement reads in part;
"The individuals behind the plot are mostly
scared PDP elements made frightened by
the Buhari anti-corruption campaign. They
direct this falsehood at Tinubu in the futile
mission of trying to drive a wedge between
the President and Tinubu to disrupt the
progress being made against corruption and
to destabilise the APC. But their PDP is
already something by-gone, buried under
the mass of its corruption and wrongdoing.
They fight for a cause that has no cause.
They are mercenaries of all the ills and
defects that the people want excised from
our body politic. Thus, we must do the
people a public service. In the last six
weeks, the Tinubu Media Office has
monitored the stream of false, distorted
media accounts written against Bola Ahmed
Tinubu. We have learned that there is a
concerted, wilful campaign tagged, ‘Destroy
the reputation of Tinubu and his
relationship with Buhari'. As part of this
ugly plot to cultivate the worst of lies
against the national leader of the APC,
several blogs and online sites recruited to
launch this smear campaign have
manufactured stories to advance this
sinister plan to taint the public mind with
gross lies disguised as news reports and
interviews. Fallacious headlines such as
‘Reasons why I collected N9m-Tinubu’ and
‘I will not return N9m-Tinubu”. “I am afraid
PDP will stop Buhari in 2019 – Tinubu,’ are
being paraded. Try as hard as they can the
creators of these false tales and misleading
headlines will fail miserably. Their stories
cannot stand up to the slightest scrutiny.
They are patently false and we condemn in
the strongest terms those involved in this
anti-Tinubu racket. “While these fellows
may think themselves cunning, they might
have outwitted their very selves. In writing
these stories, they have committed clear
libel. In abusing the media office letterhead
and name, their misrepresentations amount
to forgery. They laugh now but walk on
thin ice. Soon, that ice will break and they
shall have nothing but the weight of their
wrongdoing to blame for their predicament
that will soon come. After identifying the
bloggers and paid hatchet writers
perpetrating these wrongs, the Tinubu
Media Office is taking the step to alert the
public to beware and be weary of hatchet
writers, false prophets and paid bloggers.
The Tinubu Media Office has the names
and online sites recruited for this campaign
and will not hesitate to make them know if
they do not desist from their negative
mission"he said
