Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati
has replied the Acting National Chairman of APC Chief Bisi Akande over the
latter calling the President Jonathan a kindergarten Leader.
Please read the abridged version of the press release signed by Abati.
The
interim national chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande sank to a new low in
this regard yesterday when he rudely and falsely described President Jonathan
as a “kindergarten” leader who treats national issues with levity.
We urge
Chief Akande and his fellow-travellers to remember that there are laws against
libel and defamation of character in this country even if there are no legal
impediments to indecorous, hypocritical and unpatriotic vituperations.
It is
certainly rude, ill-mannered, uncharitable and hypocritical for Chief Akande to
falsely and cavalierly allege that a President who toils tirelessly every day
of the week, evolving and implementing workable solutions to Nigeria’s
problems, is handling national issues with levity.
It is
clear that the APC is seeking to bait the Presidency to respond to it to
achieve two purposes. The first purpose is to get their name into the press and
gain name recognition for their party. How pathetic. The second and more
important reason is to divert the attention of the public from the festering
feud between Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu over the overriding ambition of
the two men which is threatening to tear the new contraption which is
mistakenly referred to by the gullible as a party.
To the
discerning, it is only a matter of time before ambition sinks the APC boat. It
is only 2013 and already the big masquerades in the party are using
undemocratic words like "must", "nobody can stop" and other
military terms in discussing their presidential ticket.
Our advice to the APC is this: treat your
party like a democratic association and don't mistake it for the Armoured
Personnel Carrier (APC) that someone used to force his way to power.
