The
Presidential Campaign Organisation of Peoples Democratic Party Flag-bearer,
former vice president Atiku Abubakar has tackled President Muhammadu Buhari
with 14 questions.
Atiku’s campaign organisation
said Buhari’s government and the All Progressives Congress, APC had deviated
from governance and taken up the full duty of hurling insults at the former
Vice President.
In a
statement by the spokesman of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation,
Segun Sowunmi, on Wednesday, the former Vice President charged the government
and the APC to name one project started and completed by Buhari, one youth in
the cabinet or one terrorist arrested and convicted by the government, among
other things.
“It has come to our attention
that the Buhari government and the All Progressives Congress have been very
idle of late, which explains their abandonment of the vital duties of running
the government in order to focus on hurling insults and false accusations on
the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, His Excellency,
Atiku Abubakar,” he said.
The statement added, “In order to
give Nigerians the answers they want, we urge the Buhari Campaign Organisation
to take the #BuhariChallenge and answer the following questions.
“Name one project initiated,
started and completed in the last three years by the Buhari administration.
“Name one youth in President
Buhari’s cabinet.
“Name one campaign promise
President Buhari has kept.
“Name one Southerner heading a
National Intelligence Agency under Buhari.
“Name one terrorist arrested,
tried, convicted and imprisoned by the Buhari administration.
“Name one Buhari government
official arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned by the Buhari administration
over their many budget padding scandals.
“Name one member of the Buhari
administration fingered in corruption that was fired, arrested and currently
facing trial.
“Name one former President or
Head of State that has not been blamed by President Buhari for the precarious
state of the economy he led us into.
“Name one year that Nigeria’s GDP
grew faster than her population under Buhari (for 16 years of PDP
administrations, Nigeria’s GDP always grew faster than population growth).
“Name the initiatives the Buhari
government has put in place to address Nigeria being named the world
headquarters for extreme poverty under Buhari.
“Name one initiative the Buhari
government has put in place to address Nigeria having the world’s highest
number of out of school children (13.2 million according to the United Nations
Children Fund).
“Name the date the Ogoni cleanup
will begin. · Name what President Buhari has done with the ₦13 trillion loans
he has taken in 3 years (compared to the ₦6 trillion borrowed by the PDP in 16
years).
“Name the real owners of the
Ikoyi Apartment billions.
“These are the issues the
Nigerian people want to hear about, not insults from a Presidency and a party
that have spent three years in office only to preside over Nigeria’s first ever
recession in 25 years.
“We urge the Buhari
administration to remember that it is this disinterest in real governance and
focus on trivia that caused Bill Gates to look President Buhari in the eye and
tell him that ‘your economic blueprint does not address Nigerians’ needs’.
“The
Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation runs an issue based campaign where
refined language and cerebral arguments founded on facts are used to
disseminate the vision of our candidate which is why we call on the Buhari
Campaign Organisation to waste no time in taking the #BuhariChallenge in
clearing the air on these knotty issues bothering the minds of Nigerians.”
