President Muhammadu Buhari has
responded to criticisms from the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, over his WAEC certificate.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina speaking on Channels TV,
described the issue as ‘dead’
Adesina said: “Critics will
always try to poke holes in things even if there is nothing to criticize some
people are so contentious so they would not be satisfied with anything from the
presidency.
“For us in the presidency, the
issue of Buhari’s WAEC certificate is dead, for those who do not believe you
cannot convince them. If in 2015 15m people voted for the president despite
concocted crisis a lot more will vote in 2019.”
Speaking on PDP statement
describing the certificate as fake and an embarrassment to the nation, Adesina
added that the opposition party had run out of ideas to criticize the
presidency.
The presidential spokesman
described PDP’s statement as ‘a storm in a teacup’
Adesina added, “I call it
superfluity of naughtiness, a storm in a teacup which is coming from a party
that has run out of ideas, it has nothing to offer Nigerians and if they don’t
hang whatever they are saying around the president they have nothing to say.
“For us, the issue is there and
we would not contend with anybody on it, there is no issue here with the
President certificate, anybody that wants to continue to beat a dead horse is
welcome. That WAEC issue is dead.”
Recall that the PDP
on Monday alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari displayed the “highest form
of corruption” by entangling himself in a “web of corruption by trying to
launder his WAEC certificate scandal.”
PDP said instead of being “remorseful
and apologizing to Nigerians,” Buhari was trying to deceive them about his
‘forged’ certificate.
