The Presidency has replied the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, Olisa Metuh, who alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari was “demarketing Nigeria”.
The presidency insisted that the President will not, in the guise of “marketing” the country, refrain from telling Nigerians and the world, the emerging truths about the abject state in which years of plundering by a PDP leadership has left the Nigerian treasury and economy.
It further stated that President Muhammadu Buhari will not in the name of “marketing” or “attracting” investors, “follow in the footsteps of the ousted PDP Administration and its discredited officials who shamelessly lied to Nigerians and the world about the buoyancy and vibrancy of an economy they had bled dry for personal gain, when it was very obvious to the discerning, that the Nigerian economy was headed for serious trouble.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina stated in a statement that any attempt by the PDP to distract the President will fail.
He said “President Muhammadu Buhari will remain true to the virtues of honesty, integrity, sincerity, incorruptibility and plain-speaking which endeared him to Nigerians and made them prefer his leadership that of a lying and deceptive PDP administration”.
Adesina stated it was ”most unfortunate that instead of showing some remorsefulness for the harm done to the nation by his party, and giving genuine support for President Muhammadu Buhari’s efforts to salvage and revamp the national economy, Mr. Metuh persists in a vain attempt to remain relevant on the national stage by unjustly denigrating the President who continues to strive with all his might to alleviate and reverse the harm done to the nation by PDP misrule and corruption.
“Mr. Metuh’s antics are futile. President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be distracted by a broken record. If the PDP spokesman ever has serious matters to bring to our attention, we will be prepared to listen”.
