PDP Accuses Shettima Of Sabotaging Jonathan’s Efforts To Forestall Chibok Abduction

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has knocked the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, for trying to share the stage of fame with former President Goodluck Jonathan after he allegedly “sabotaged and frustrated Jonathan’s administration in its effort to curb insecurity in Borno State”.

Shettima was governor of Borno from May 2011 to May 2019 whilst Jonathan was Nigeria’s President between 2010 and 2015. Shettima and APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, had during the week attended the 70th birthday event of the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah, and they posed in a photograph with the revered cleric.

But the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, in a statement on Thursday criticised the duo for their “disgraceful and hypocritical” act after allegedly vilifying Jonathan.

The PDP spokesman also said it is shameful that they now distance themselves from the “abysmal failure” of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“In a desperate design to whitewash their battered public image, identifying with the obvious successes of the PDP and in an attempt to posture as statesmen, the APC presidential candidate, his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima, and other APC leaders shamelessly orchestrated a photo opportunity with the distinguished and successful former President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“This is a patriotic Nigerian leader whose PDP-led purposeful and successful government the APC leaders viciously harassed, constantly insulted, labelled, sabotaged and discredited for their selfish power-grabbing enterprise,” the statement partly read.
