The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari said the party is going ahead with its South-west presidential campaign flag-off today at the Mapo Hall, Ibadan, saying that the party did not shift the date as claimed by Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala.

Buhari’s spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin, said yesterday that it was ridiculous for the governor to lie that the hiccup was due to the CPC’s change of the rally date.

“The attempt to deny the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) the use of Mapo Hall for the launch of its South-west Presidential Campaign in Ibadan on Monday (today) has again exposed the ruling PDP and its leaders as a gang of cheats, liars and integrity deficient outfit,” Odumakin said.

He added that, “by the grace of God and having complied with all regulations known to the laws of the land, our rally shall hold as scheduled at Mapo Hall on Monday (today). We shall not submit ourselves to the intimidation of the lawless society called the PDP. They have denied us venues in Niger and Adamawa states. There comes a time when enough is enough.”

The spokesperson explained that “the CPC validly booked the venue for Monday the 14th of March with receipt obtained and the police adequately informed and approval given. It was to our consternation that the management of the facility rudely informed our officials who went to prepare the venue 48 hours to the d-day that we could no longer use the place because the wife of the President, Patience Jonathan will be holding an event at the same venue 24 hours after our rally.”

Odumakin said that “The Buhari/Bakare campaign sees this development as a continuation of the abuse of incumbency by the Jonathan administration which has buried ‘the rule of law’ mantra with the remains of his predecessor. We want Nigerians to help us ask if Mrs. Patience Jonathan will ask somebody not to hold a wedding ceremony at an event centre because she intends using the place the following day if she were a private citizen.”

The CPC presidential media aide said “We wish to sound it loud and clear again that all these shenanigans will not stop the Buhari/Bakare hurricane that is blowing away the umbrella of deception all over Nigeria.”
