Focus on real campaign - PDP tells APC, says APC plans fake poll rating for Buhari

A statement from  PDP below...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has counseled the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari to focus on real campaign and try to win followers genuinely instead of applying cheap diversionary tactics.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Monday said “the APC so called ‘change agenda’ should be based on issues and not on change of dressing and religious gathering”.
“This election is not about political window-dressing and dramatizing. What will count is record of performance and antecedents, which President Jonathan stands taller than General Buhari.

“It is therefore not surprising that the APC and its Presidential candidate will resort to organizing a kangaroo opinion rating in a failed attempt to cover up their inadequacies and manipulate public perception in their favour.

This APC phantom poll has been designed in such a way to make the Nigerian public believe that 75 percent of the voting population is in support of General Buhari ahead the February 14 Presidential election.

Our findings reveal that the APC leaders are already intensifying effort to compromise some section of the media so as to ensure that the poll packaged by its foreign consultants is widely publicized.

Part of the strategy is a disguised mobile phone balloting application being circulated by the APC, whereby a curious click elicits a thank-you message from them and automatically register the unsuspecting phone user as having voted in support of General Buhari.

We are indeed shocked at the level the APC and its presidential candidate have sunk in their desperation for power. We hereby urge Nigerians, particularly the media to be wary of this plot to deceive the public and truncate our democratic process.

Our final advice to the APC is that they should focus on real campaign and stop playing to the gallery. Lies, no matter how much embellished can never take the place of truth and nothing built on falsehood stands.  This election is not about fake figures and falsehood. It is about the choice of the citizens. Nigerians have since made up their minds to continue identifying with their performing President and no amount of propaganda and misrepresentation by the APC can change this.

Signed:

Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary

  15. This is so foolish! Since APC announced GMB and Osinbajo, corrupt PDP members have been fooling themselves on the media, doing negative campaigning. Seems they have a lot to be scared of if GMB comes in power. APC has been clean with their campaign strategies so far. It's not a do or die affair, PDP stop all these social media madness.

  68. The ignorance displayed by these PDP cohorts seems to know no bounds! They amaze me a notch higher with each new remark they make, honestly im perplexed. Is APCs methodology not available to them also? If APC conducts a simple opinion poll, why dont they do the same? Afterall they have all the stolen resources at their disposal. They clearly dont know how to compete; they are clearly lazy from 15years of uninterrupted control of the centre. I dont believe that APC wouldnt fare in like manner if the tables were turned, but the way and manner PDP are carrying on like sobbing losers before the battle has begun is rather unbecoming of a reigning champion. They are clearly unprepared for February 14 and cannot ask for extension.

  71. I am a strong advocate for GEJ government to be eased out. However just as an academic exercise I wish to momentarily support him and sample the thoughts of others via their comments.

    PDP has a Revenue stream constraint since majority is oil dependent. Agricultural diversification is stymied by Land Use Decree 1979 which states that all Land belongs to the State; the arable Land is mostly in SW APC controlled States. What have these States done in meeting world cash crop demand in 15 years just as PDP has met world oil OPEC quota since.

    The oil price decline is a global phenomenon caused by US oil shale decision. What could any other party do to influence the outcome of the decision of the US? What could APC have done in the same situation?

    SW APC has the advantage of funds mobility. Lagos IGR can be flighted to fund Osun and other States. The PDP is constrained to Revenue Sharing to 36 States...no space.
