The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, for blaming the former administration of Goodluck
Jonathan as being responsible for the return of ex-pension reform boss,
Abdulrasheed Maina.
In a statement on Thursday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Dayo Adeyeye, the PDP said “the idea of blaming
every misdemeanor on previous administration is symptomatic of failure to
deliver on promises and its time Garba Shehu and his likes resigns if they have
nothing more to contribute in government.”
It added that Garba has lost the
“the capacity for rational thinking” and as such needs to be booted out of the
presidency.
The statement reads further: “We
are not surprised on the postulation by the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Alhaji Garba Shehu in which he blamed the former
Administration of Goodluck Jonathan as being responsible for the return of
fugitive Abdulrasheed Maina. This is to say the least the height of absurdity.
“The shenanigans surrounding the
return of Maina who was under investigation and sacked by the previous
administration of PDP is an issue Nigerians are privy to and even Maina’s
immediate family have come out openly with their position that President Buhari
was responsible for his return.
“May we therefore remind Garba
Shehu in case he has forgotten that the current administration is that of the
APC and not PDP, so we wonder how PDP will be responsible for the mess created
by President Buhari and his cabals.
“We had earlier in our response
on this matter advised the government to properly investigate those responsible
for this mess and bring them to justice and we still stand on that, because
Nigerians are tired of excuses and blame game.
“We reiterate that the body
language of this APC government in the fight against corruption is mere
propaganda and road-show. The idea of blaming every misdemeanor on previous
administration is symptomatic of failure to deliver on promises and its time
Garba Shehu and his likes resigns if they have nothing more to contribute in
government.
“Finally, we urge the APC led
government to re-evaluate the inclusion of the likes of Garba Shehu in the
administration. A man who is fixated on blaming each and every mistake of this
government on the PDP has certainly run out of ideas, and must even have lost
the capacity for rational thinking.
“We wonder the damage he may be
causing to this country with his continuous stay as an Assistant to the
President.”
