The All Progressives Congress has mocked the ruling People’s Democratic Party over what it described as futile attempts to convince Nigerians not to vote for its presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Thursday, said all paid advertisements and campaigns of calumny aimed at Buhari had only been making him more popular.

It said the first attack launched against Buhari was on the allegation that he gave a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the honour of picking his running mate but when Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) emerged, the PDP became intimidated.

It also said having failed to pull down Buhari, the PDP tried to disparage him by lying to Nigerians that Buhari never attended secondary school until he was exonerated by the Cambridge Assessment and Government College, Katsina.

The party added that having failed to pull him down, the PDP then sponsored false television documentaries to deceive Nigerians into hating Buhari but that support for Buhari continued to increase.

The APC said having failed again, the PDP then began making moves to shift the elections, adding that the ruling party would fail again.

The statement read, “They procured a forged medical certificate from their warped imagination of a university teaching hospital that our candidate is suffering from prostate cancer, but their ‘419 certificate’ had barely been unveiled before it was disowned by the authentic Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital. Again, the web of lies woven by the PDP and the Presidency were unravelled before their eyes.”
