BUHARI IS SEMI-ILLITERATE- SAYS PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), commencing

name-calling, has asked Nigerians not to vote for

the presidential candidate of the All Progressives

Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, because

he is “semi-illiterate.”

The characterization was made by the National

Publicity Secretary of the party, Prof. Wale Oladipo

when he hosted leaders of the party in

the diaspora at the party’s headquarters in Abuja

on Monday.

He described the APC as a political party that is

not really ready to offer an alternative to the

teeming masses of this country as its only agenda

seems to be to see the departure of the PDP.

“But I know that God loves this country so much,”

he said. “God has decided that this country will

remain indivisible and has decided that this

country will continue to wax stronger.”

Oladipo vowed that Nigeria will not go back to

1983 where it will start doing trade by barter with

Brazil.

“God has decreed it that we continue to pilot the

affairs of this country and continue to implement

the transformation agenda,” he stated.

He observed that the next election will be unlike

previous elections because for the first time, the

opposition has come together in the APC.

“They have passed through a motion and endorsed

their perennial candidate. We have beaten him

three times, we are going to beat him

once again.

“The next election is going to be between darkness

and light, it is going to be between a cross

cosmopolitan highly-focused Ph.D holder and a

semi-literate jakput,” he said, adding, “Nigeria

cannot afford to go back, we will continue to move

forward.”

Oladipo urged the representatives of various

chapters to understand that they will be called

upon to enlighten Nigerians on the programmes

of the PDP wherever they reside in the world.

“You will also be called upon to counter negative

propaganda that the APC is making against our

party and our country in different countries of this

world.

“Of course, we are not perfect but our mission is

perfect. We mean well for this country and we

believe the country should continue to be one

and that we should be a market-driven economy

while at the same time, providing succor for the

weak. ”
