APC Blasts PDP, Says Opposition Only Traumatized By Serial Electoral Failure

By Kabir Akintayo

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in response to Atiku Abubakar’s media aide comments on ruling Nigerians by propaganda, has described the statement as a result of Post Electoral Traumatic Stress Disorder (PeTSD) arising from his boss’ serial electoral failure.

POLITICS DIGEST had earlier reported that the Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, berated APC, for allegedly using propaganda to deceive Nigerians.

APC, in a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary (NPS) Felix Morka, accused Shaibu of delving into matter he has no knowledge about.

“Certainly, he does not understand the issues and the interplay of statecraft and economic management initiatives by President Tinubu to remove age-old distortions and contradictions, accelerate and solidify all round recovery and prosperity for our country,” Morka said.

Morka also made clarifications on Tinubu-led administration policies on fuel subsidy removal, harmonizing foreign exchange and students loan act signed into law, saying that, the fine details of these visionary and people-centred policies are still being worked out and have yet to run their due course cannot and do not negate their valid objectives and potential transformative impact.

“The President has dutifully appointed experienced and highly skilled professionals to key institutions of the economy, including the Ministry Finance, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and created the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy in a patriotic zeal to reposition and grow the economy,” Morka said.

On the issue of proposed meeting with United States of America (USA) President Joe Biden, Morka described the scenario as irrelevant, saying that, Tinubu already met with Biden on the sidelines of the G-20 Nations summit in India,

“Another meeting with the US, President during the United Nation’s General Assembly (UNGA) had become unnecessary and was not even on President Tinubu’s schedule, contrary to preliminary indications on the matter,” he said.

He however urged Nigerians to ignore purveyors of fake news and other inanities of Shaibu and his likes, which he said will stop at nothing in their desperation to distort facts and give oxygen to their politically knocked out principal.

“The PDP and all its agents of misinformation should know by now that no amount of sleazy propaganda , muckraking, lies, half-truths, misrepresentations, misinformation or disinformation will confer the presidency of Nigeria on their candidate,” he concluded.
