\nOlogbondiyan,on Thursday<\/span><\/span>, said the lie by President Buharis handlers
\nsmacks of desperation by the Presidency and the All Progressives
\nCongress (APC), to procure international endorsement, ahead of the 2019
\ngeneral elections.<\/p>\n
\nour nation a laughing stock before the international community.<\/p>\n
\nitself from the award and noted that, the award given to President
\nBuhari of Nigeria was not given by The King Center, at the request of
\nThe King Center or by the children of Martin Luther King jr.<\/p>\n
\nadministration, in their desperation, can fabricate and stage-manage
\nanything, including name-dropping of international figures and agencies,
\nin their desperate attempt to delude Nigerians, once again, now that the
\n2019 general election is fast approaching.<\/p>\n
\nfrom reputable international figures such as Bill Gates, the APC and the
\nPresidency have now cheapened the nation by resorting to this despicable
\nact of name-dropping of world-renowned human right activist, Dr. Martin
\nLuther King jr, further dragging down our once sterling image before the
\ncomity of Nations.<\/p>\n
\nthe award in the first place, as the Buhari-led administration, by its
\nundemocratic and anti-people proclivities, including records of
\nviolations of rights of citizens, is not deserving of any form of
\nrecognition by any human rights group, let alone the family of the
\nworld-acclaimed Martin Luther King jr.<\/p>\n
\nis not only hypocritical but overtly deceptive and must not be trusted.<\/p>\n
\ncautioning Nigerians and the international community to be wary of
\ninformation and claims coming from the APC and the Presidency,
\nparticularly on endorsements and performances indices.<\/p>\n
\nthe immediate arrest, investigation and prosecution of all the
\nPresidency officials involved in this messy scandal and crime against
\nour nation.<\/p>\n
\nembarrassment by jettisoning other planned endorsement stunts and
\nfabricated performance indices, as Nigerians are already rallying with
\nthe repositioned and rebranded PDP in their collective quest to end the
\nmisrule of the APC and restore a sincere, purposeful and people-oriented
\ngovernment come 2019.<\/p>\n
