Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity 1stxpression
The Presidency has dismissed the insinuation by the PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh, alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari is ``demarketing Nigeria’’.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.
It
stated that that President Buhari would always
tell Nigerians the truth
and would remain true to the virtues of honesty, integrity, sincerity,
incorruptibility and plain-speaking.
The statement
read; ``Our attention has been drawn to the latest statement by the PDP
spokesman, Olisa Metuh alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari is
“demarketing Nigeria”.
``We restate for the
umpteenth time to Mr. Metuh and his ilk that their attempts to distract
President Buhari from the job he has been elected to do will fail.
``President
Buhari will remain true to the virtues of honesty, integrity,
sincerity, incorruptibility and plain-speaking which endeared him to
Nigerians and made them prefer his leadership to that of a lying and
deceptive PDP administration.
``The President will
not, in the guise of “marketing” the country, refrain from telling
Nigerians and the world, the emerging truths about the abject state in
which years of plundering by a PDP leadership has left the Nigerian
treasury and economy.
``President Buhari will not
in the name of “marketing” or “attracting” investors, follow in the
footsteps of the ousted PDP Administration and its discredited officials
who shamelessly lied to Nigerians and the world about the buoyancy and
vibrancy of an economy they had bled dry for personal gain, when it was
very obvious to the discerning, that the Nigerian economy was headed for
serious trouble.
``It is most unfortunate that
instead of showing some remorsefulness for the harm done to the nation
by his party, and giving genuine support for President Buhari’s efforts
to salvage and revamp the national economy, Metuh persists in a vain
attempt to remain relevant on the national stage.’’
According
to the statement, Metuh is doing this by unjustly denigrating the
President who continues to strive with ``all his might to alleviate and
reverse the harm done to the nation by PDP misrule and corruption.’’
``Metuh’s antics are futile. President Buhari cannot be distracted by a broken record.
``If
the PDP spokesman ever has serious matters to bring to our attention,
we will be prepared to listen,’’ the statement concluded
