PDP says the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media
and Publicity, Garba Shehu, needs psychiatric evaluation after he
alleged that some government officials who are loyal to former president
Goodluck Jonathan brought in wanted former pension boss, Abdulrasheed
Maina, into the country. Read the statement below
'We are not surprised on the postulation by the Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Alhaji Garba Shehu in which he
blamed the former Administration of Goodluck Jonathan as being
responsible for the return of fugitive Abdulrasheed Maina. This is to
say the least the height of absurdity.
2. The shenanigans surrounding the return of Maina who was under
investigation and sacked by the previous administration of PDP is an
issue Nigerians are privy to and even Maina’s immediate family have come
out openly with their position that President Buhari was responsible
for his return. May we therefore remind Garba Shehu in case he has
forgotten that the current administration is that of the APC and not
PDP, so we wonder how PDP will be responsible for the mess created by
President Buhari and his cabals.
3. We had earlier in our response on this matter advised the
government to properly investigate those responsible for this mess and
bring them to justice and we still stand on that, because Nigerians are
tired of excuses and blame game.
4. We reiterate that the body language of this APC government in the
fight against corruption is mere propaganda and road-show. The idea of
blaming every misdemeanor on previous administration is symptomatic of
failure to deliver on promises and its time Garba Shehu and his likes
resigns if they have nothing more to contribute in government.
5. Finally, we urge the APC led government to re-evaluate the
inclusion of the likes of Garba Shehu in the administration. A man who
is fixated on blaming each and every mistake of this government on the
PDP has certainly run out of ideas, and must even have lost the capacity
for rational thinking. We wonder the damage he may be causing to this
country with his continuous stay as an Assistant to the President.
