TRANSCRIPT OF RESPONSE TO LAI MOHAMMED’S STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN’S VISIT TO LAGOS ON THURSDAY, APRIL 9 AS ARTICULATED BY REUBEN ABATI IN AN INTERVIEW WITH STATE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS.

Lai Muhammed is wrong to say that the President came to Lagos to rig the Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections scheduled for Saturday, April 11. He is of course lying as usual.... And rude.
President Jonathan visited Lagos.
He arrived on Thursday and left on Friday. People visited him. So what? Anytime the President is in Lagos or any part of the country, a lot of people come to pay homage to him. Nothing unusual happened during his last visit to Lagos. Senator Musiliu Obanikoro's visit to the President in Lagos is not something that anybody should use to play politics. Koro is a Minister of the Federal Republic. He came to see his boss.
Mr. Jimi Agbaje is the Governorship candidate of the PDP in Lagos. I don't see how his visit to the President, who is also the leader of his party, the PDP, should become an issue.
Yes, Gani Adams also visited, but so did a lot of other people.
The President did not hold meetings with INEC officials, he did not meet with the police, or polling officials or with anybody who is involved in organising elections. So to say that the President went to Lagos to supervise the rigging of Saturday's election is most uncharitable and cruel.
After the Presidential election, the President immediately congratulated Gen. Buhari and the whole world has commended him for saving Nigeria. President Jonathan's sportsmanship, statesmanship and leadership saved this country at that critical moment.
He has demonstrated his commitment to free and fair election, the rule of law and due process. He has shown that he is a man of character, honour and integrity. Nigerians generally are proud of him. He has left a worthy legacy and shown a great example. That, obviously, is the narrative that Lai Muhammed and his masters want to change, so they are now cooking up meaningless tales.
Lai Muhammed should look for another target and leave the President alone. His fatuous tale does not make any sense. I repeat: we will like to advise that the APC should just leave the President alone. President Jonathan was a candidate in the presidential election; he did not rig the election. Why would he want to rig tomorrow’s elections?
I wonder why he would want to rig any election at all when he is on his way out...Lai shot himself in the foot with this allegation.Abeg make them leave Jonathan alone,he is a peace lover/maker.
I wonder why they want to add rigger to the list of names given to him....rigger ko rigger ni,se president dey work for rig ni?

The Bible says ' when the wicked sits in authority,people suffer,but when the righteous sits in authority,people rejoice'

Nigerians shud think deep and stop being deceive by these PDP thieves who are full of all kinds criminalities.
And you must be a very big fool. You support APC and becloud your thinking faculty. So what is Buhari doing in Lagos,shey he's the President in waiting? Stupid people. Leave Jonathan alone. Idiots.
Delete#rootzy#

DeleteAPC is one hell of a party. Their allegations really worked for them trust Nigerians soon they will separate the seeds from chaff. Let's say we're in the learning process of politics of Allegation propaganda et el
ReplyDeleteThe attack on dis man is just too much. Is it cos he doesn't utilize his office to full use? IMO this is treason and these lies shouldn't go unpunished but cos we have a soft president, these foolish APC monkeys think its okay to run their mouths. Faggots, fools, thieves, murderers making up one party, why should we expect different.
ReplyDeleteStupid people.. They won't allow Mr. President rest.

ReplyDeleteHad we known will be their song when Buhari and his APC goons start unveiling the package they have for them.
As for Lai Mohammed and his attempts to rubbish Jonathan's name, he truly wish he could taint the good man.
