The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has dismissed terrorism allegations against Bauchi South Senator Shehu Buba, challenging anyone with proof to present it to the authorities.
In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, the party urged Nigerians to provide any evidence of criminal activity against the lawmaker if such exists.
The PRP said it is convinced that a coordinated campaign of lies and mischief is underway to damage Buba’s image.It referenced Section 127(c) of the Electoral Act, which penalises the publication of false statements intended to harm a candidate’s electoral prospects.
“These lies must stop. Those who have evidence of any criminal activity against him should provide such evidence to the authorities who should treat them as the law provides,” the party stated.
“We believe his rivals and detractors feel threatened by the spread and depth of his popularity, and have now resorted to peddling outrageous and libelous falsehoods against him.”
The statement comes five days after Buba himself denied fresh allegations linking him to banditry. He described viral videos and social media claims as part of a sustained campaign of disinformation and character assassination.
