Our attention has been drawn to the latest statement by the PDP spokesman,
Olisa Metuh alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari is “demarketing
Nigeria”.
We restate for the umpteenth time to Mr. Metuh and his ilk that their
attempts to distract President Buhari from the job he has been elected to
do will fail.
President 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.
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.
President 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.
It is most unfortunate that instead of showing some remorsefulness for the
harm done to the nation by his party, and giving genuine support for
President 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 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.
