APC defacing Buhari’s campaign posters in Rivers – PDP

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party said it has observed with dismay an indecent campaign strategy by the All Progressives Congress of defacing the posters of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
The PDP said it was however contradictory that the same was not done to that of the APC’s governorship candidate in the state, Hon. Dakuku Peterside.
The party said this has affected most of the APC billboards in Port Harcourt, the state capital, and was meant to indict political opponents.
Describing such action as a failed quest to mislead the public and blackmail its political opponents, the PDP, in a statement signed by Jerry Needam, the Special Adviser on Media to the state Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah, said the idea was to swindle the people’s mind from Buhari to one of their own, Peterisde, of the same APC.
The PDP sees this action as an after thought arising from a warped mind that wants one of its own as an Ijaw governor and yet rejects a true Ijaw son, President Goodluck Jonathan, as the nation’s president.
This, according to the PDP, is not only contradictory but also smacks of ignorance.
The statement said: “It’s therefore, imperative to make this political development in the State public because we see no rationale in wasting Rivers Tax Payers’ Money on campaigning for Buhari and Dakuku and only realizing at the last minute that Buhari is not good enough to be President of Nigeria.
“Discriminating between Dakuku Peterside as Governorship Candidate of the APC and Buhari as the Presidential Standard bearer of same party by members of the APC in Rivers State this last minute is a wrong political undertaking which presents them as being naive.
“The best bet remains Dr. Goodluck Jonathan for the President and Chief Nyesom Wike as Governor for Rivers State.
“We wish to enjoin our people to vote wisely by rejecting both Buhari and Dakuku and not to be deceived by the APC last minute ploy. They are birds of the same feather.”
