National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Lai
Mohammed has threatened to sue
Olisa Metuh of the Peoples Democratic
Party, for libel.
In a statement
released on Sunday, Metuh had claimed that Mohammed had detoured funds
meant for the fencing of an airport in Osun State.
A livid
Mohammed reacting through a separate statement, opined that the trauma
of loss was was still hitting the PDP spokesman really hard.
The statement read:
”The PDP is wondering why we are not responding to the wild accusations
emanating from their fertile imagination. It is because we consider the
accusations nothing but an irritant.
“Mr Metuh wrote that ‘this
administration must come to terms with the fact that democracy requires
accountability, adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order’.
Very interesting, because if the PDP had known all that, it would still
have remained in power at the centre.
“It is therefore clear that
the PDP spokesman has been so traumatised by the defeat of his party
that he sometimes imagines he is writing about the APC when indeed he is
listing the failings of his fallen party, the PDP.”
Mohammed
dared Metuh “to substantiate the claim in his Sunday statement about
contracts allegedly awarded to the APC national spokesman or be ready to
do so in court”.
“For the avoidance of any doubt, the APC
spokesman has never been involved in any airport fencing contract in
Osun or any deal involving fraudulent purchase or supply of ambulances
anywhere in Nigeria.”
“Mr Metuh’s assault on the Buhari
administration’s anti-corruption battle is a futile attempt at saving
his own neck and that of his party. Unfortunately, it is too late in the
day for them, going by the quantum of allegations against them.
