The
presidency has issued a statement saying that President Buhari never ordered
the freezing of Peter Obi’s account.
On Saturday,
December, 2018, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign
Organization alleged that agencies of government blocked the PDP
Vice-Presidential candidate’s bank account.
According to
Vanguard, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,
Mallam Garba Shehu said the story is fake.
Shehu also
dismissed reports that the President ordered the alleged raid on the home of
the son of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar as a fairy tale.
The
presidential spokesman said “The story about the raid “ordered by Buhari-led
government” on the home of PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s son and
the fairy tale on the alleged blockage of the bank accounts of the running
mate, Governor Peter Obi and his family are both untrue, and should be
dismissed as just another manifestation of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s growing
expertise in fake news.
“Nigerians
must be becoming wary by now, of a political party with absolutely nothing to
offer in the coming elections and has instead, transformed into a knight in
shining armor, slaying the truth. In this so-called transformation, PDP has
changed into nothing but to a ceaselessly flowing stream of fake news.
“It is
impossible to find in Nigeria today, anyone propagating fake news more than the
PDP. Our advice to Nigerians is: ignore them.”
The Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has issued a statement denying reports
that its operatives raided an apartment belonging to Atiku Abubakar’s sons.
