The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation has described the Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, as an incurable liar afflicted with the diarrhoea of the mouth.
The APCPCO said in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, that claims by Governor Aliyu that the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, signed a single tenure pact is a figment of his imagination.
Garba described the statement as jaundiced, ill-motivated and irresponsible.
Shehu said Aliyu has made a bad career of misguided claims of this nature in which he presents himself as a clairvoyant fly perching on the walls of political meetings across the country.
The APCPCO spokesman dismissed Governor Aliyu’s recent vituperation and insinuation as the outbursts of a perpetual rabble-rouser, amateurish ethno-religious propagandist and unrepentant mischief-maker bent on stoking division and disaffection in the APC.
Shehu said the APC Campaign is, however, not surprised at Aliyu’s blatant lies considering that he has also been at the centre of controversy of being in possession of a letter in which his party’s presidential candidate signed onto a one-term pact with governors of the ruling party.
He said: “When has this Governor of a grossly underdeveloped state suddenly become a clairvoyant who knows what obtains in places where he was never present or represented? Is he an APC member? If not, how and where did he get his information from? And what Northern Nigeria is he representing? Nigerians are wiser now and they know what to do come March 28 and April 11. For the time being, our suggestion to Governor Babangida is that he should use the balance of his time in office to right a few wrongs in his state, currently adjudged as the most lacking in the North when it comes to development.”
