Dele Momodu, director of strategic communications of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council, has asked President Muhammadu
Buhari to caution chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued on Sunday, Momodu said some members of
the APC are announcing an “impossible victory” for Bola Tinubu, the party’s
standard-bearer.
He said the victory projected for Tinubu does not reflect
the actual results trickling from the polling units.
“Our attention has just been drawn to the recklessly
dangerous publication unilaterally awarding an impossible victory to Tinubu,”
the statement reads.
“The said newspaper
is owned by Tinubu.
“Only yesterday, we all saw how thugs of the APC Chieftains
and his allies took over the streets of Lagos burning ballot boxes and
documents and generally misbehaving in other to disenfranchise the determined
electorates.
“Despite all of these ugly attempts at stealing victory, the
APC suffered its worst cataclysmic loss in most of the polling centres in
Lagos.
“The same happened in
Kano. Incapable of ever being sobered by the crushing humiliation in its
traditional territories, we woke up this morning to read about the pathetic and
illegal lies cooked up by the Tinubu media goons.
“Tinubu remains the only mainstream candidate whose home
base of South West was decimated by opposition parties in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo,
Oyo, Osun, and Ekiti. Most of the Northern Governors he also expected to help
him garner votes in the Northern regions failed spectacularly to deliver the
badly needed votes. He failed in the South East and South South.
“The only candidate with the national spread is the PDP
Presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. But as a
responsible citizen and respected statesman, he will never rush to the media to
claim his well-deserved victory and glory after a long and torturous journey.
“We hereby call on INEC and the Federal Government to cage
these troublesome APC Chieftains. We have all been witnesses to their unruly
behaviour as they did everything to bully and blackmail President Muhammadu
Buhari to chicken out of the currency swap policy.
“We also witnessed
how they practically intimidated the President to the extent of forcing him to
publicly display who he voted for in yesterday’s elections. It was quite a
bizarre, unfortunate and unprecedented scene to watch.”
Momodu asked Buhari to “find the courage to call the bluff
of these desperate politicians who feel they can buy the whole of Nigeria”.
