2019 presidency: PDP thanks
Itse Sagay for ‘campaigning’
for Atiku
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has thanked the
Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on
Corruption, PACAC, Prof. Itse Sagay for indirectly
campaigning for its presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity
Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, was reacting to a
statement by Sagay that Atiku had a lot of baggage but
that the Federal Government had no concrete evidence to
convict him.
However, the party said its presidential candidate had no
baggage and remained the best option for the country
ahead of next year’s general elections.
PDP stated, “If Prof Itse Sagay said the PDP candidate,
Atiku Abubakar has a baggage but the government has no
concrete evidence to convict him, it means that our
candidate has no baggage. As a lawyer and a respected
one at that, for you to say that somebody has a baggage,
that means you have provable evidence against the
person.
“If you have no provable evidence against the person, you
cannot lay claim to any baggage. Prof Sagay has helped
to tell the world that our candidate has no baggage and he
is as clean as a whistle. We enjoin and encourage him to
continue the campaign in favour of our candidate.
“Our candidate has got what Nigerians are looking for
today. He has got capacity. He is that candidate that
understands Nigeria in such a way that he is acceptable
across board. Our candidate has got the experience
having worked at the highest level in the country.
“He is accepted in the North West; he is at home in the
North East; he understands the South West; he knows the
North Central; the South South is like his home state; he
is loved by people of the South East; he is a true Nigerian
who understands the nuances of all our people.
“Nigerians are sick and tired of the division in the country
today which they have accused the APC and Buhari of
being responsible for. At no time in our history do we
truly need a unifier like Atiku than now. So, we thank Itse
Sagay for making an open declaration that our candidate
is as clean as a whistle.”
