The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO) has denied allegation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Peter Obi over campaign funding and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop malicious allegations against its presidential candidate.
The PDP said that it is unfortunate that President Muhammadu Buhari, who daily tells Nigerians of his commitment to free, fair, credible and peaceful polls, mandates the officials of his party and members of his campaign to be engaging in malicious, vengeful and hate-inclined statements against respectable Nigerians whose integrity, competence and capacity overshadow his.
The director, media and publicity of PPCO, Kola Ologbondiyan, said unlike President Buhari, the PDP presidential candidate and his running mate, have unbroken records of fulfilling responsibilities in all the offices they have occupied.

“This assemblage by people of questionable characters in a party where their leaders claim integrity is one of the puzzles that 2019 election will solve.

general elections.
“Finally the PDP urges President Buhari and the APC to refrain from dirty politics as such will not deliver them from the rejection by Nigerians.”
