Femi Adeshina's Response to Olisa Metuh on One Sided War Against PDP

 
 The Presidency has reacted swiftly to the allegation made by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.


On the allegation of witch hunting of its members, the President's Adviser on media, Mr Femi Adeshina, said
that ordinarily he would not want to comment on such because they were comments coming from a political
party and response are better from the APC leadership.

He, however, said that concerning the President, it was untrue for Mr Olisa Metuh to claim that the President’s anti-corruption war was one-sided.
According to him, “Mr Olisa Metuh is sounding like a broken record. It’s the same thing that he says all the time. But let me assure Nigerians that the President has always maintained that even when it affects APC members, the person concerned must go and defend himself.”
The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Olisa Metuh, had said at a news conference in Abuja, that unfolding events have confirmed the party’s position that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is only using the anti-corruption posture as a tool to witch-hunt PDP members and perceived political opponents of the APC government.
He stated that no member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), despite the public petitions of corruption and squandering of state funds, has been invited, questioned or arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
But Mr Adesina wondered why the issue was not whether the people facing the EFCC actually committed the crime but Mr Metuh is saying that it is one-sided.
“I think what is of interest to Nigerians is ‘did this people commit the crime?’ not whether it is one-sided,” he said.

Fashola, steal show at Senate screening

 

People have already started analyzing how former governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola held senate ‘hostage’ today. Lol. According to some Nigerians online, Fashola appeared more like a guest speaker than a senatorial nominee. There was utter silence, maximum concentration as the former Governor spoke...

So many Nigerians have been saying beautiful things about him, thanking the president for nominating him. Honestly, it’s not worth fighting this man. There are some things that are more than politics, i.e… intelligence! We need this more now, Nigeria needs it… We need real men that can do the JOB! Not just figure heads.Fighting him in politics is really not worth it. And the new uncle, really? Really uncle? Hmm, that sit na soldier go soldier come o, na wetin you do we go talk when you go, not what your god father is doing through you! Work, work, work… Nigerian youths of today are not the ones of yesterday. And yes, we are not afraid to talk.

Back to the gist, saw so many tweets and write ups, but I picked these two, they best explain what happened today. Go Fash! Go Fash!! Go Fash!!! Intelligence over money any day anytime… Please continue…

Then Dayo Williams said this;

“Is Fashola a guest speaker at the Senate today?

“Utter silence. Maximum concentration. Rapt attention.

“I like the way he links his divergent and varying ideas together.

“He has a way of bringing them to a point of convergence for the sole purpose of ensuring good governance.

“Before you accuse me of anything, I am a passionate fan of the former Governor of Lagos State.”
