Buhari’s body language encourages corruption —PDP, SDP

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) have said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s body language encourages corruption.

The parties argued that this is obvious from the reaction of the administration over the forgery allegations involving the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.

They stated this on Thursday, when the national publicity secretaries of the PDP and SDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, and Princess Goldba Tolofari respectively, met at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.

Speaking on the recent certificate forgery scandal involving Adeosun, Ologbondiyan said, “We don’t expect her to stay a day longer, but because Buhari’s body language encourages corruption that is why she’s still there. Buhari must be voted out.”

Lamenting that Buhari was the present problem of the country, the two parties explained that it was for that reason they joined in alliance with 37 other political parties to “push Buhari out” of office as president of Nigeria in 2019.

Tolofari had gone to pay a courtesy visit to the PDP spokesman when they made the comment.

She had told him that she brought greetings from the SDP chairman, Chief Olu Falae, regretting the disappointment Nigerians have continued to suffer for bringing Buhari to power on the believe that he was a messiah that would rescue the nation.

Tolofari, who decried the sorry state of the nation over wanton killings and others said that other Africa countries had lost respect for Nigeria.

“It beat my imagination that under Buhari’s watch, things are deteriorating. They are not democrats, that is why things are deteriorating and we cannot watch and see things going the way they are.

“Buhari is the Minister of Petroleum and the whole place stinks of corruption. Graduates are taxi drivers, there is hunger everywhere and that is why our youths are carrying guns with killings everywhere.”

Commending Ologbondiyan for giving a voice to alternative views which she said that the Federal Government would rather muffle, Tolofari added that “working with the PDP we help uproot the common obstacle holding down national growth and development for our traumatised people and the nation.”

Ologbondiyan speaking, noted that it was for the purpose of pushing Buhari out of power that a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by SDP, PDP and others.

“You have said that the problem of Nigeria today is Buhari and we are joining together to push him out. The bloodletting is becoming too much.

“The journey from Abuja to Kaduna, which is less than two hours, has become a nightmare and this government is not doing anything about it. That is why we signed the MoU to rescue this country.

“We have a common enemy; Buhari is the enemy of Nigeria. He’s a common enemy to the SDP and PDP, that is why we are here to rescue the nation.”
