Following the emergence of former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano, and subsequent protest in Kano, the name callings that have unfolded between the two scribes of the major political parties, APC and PDP appear unhealthy and immature for the nation's politics. Perhaps there is need for a more level of decency and maturity in managing issues, especially as it's meant for public consumption.
Below are official statements issued by the duo, Funny Though Excerpts: APC accuses PDP of inciting violence in Kano, asks Kano State Attorney-General to prosecute Olisah Metuh and others The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the PDP of inciting the violence that followed the announcement of a new Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, on Sunday, in an apparent attempt to destabilize the state, and urged the Kano state Attorney-General to prosecute all PDP officials involved in this act of destabilization. In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the statement issued by PDP's publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh congratulating one of the contenders long before the Kano state government announced the new Emir was premeditated and calibrated to incite violence. It wondered why a ruling party, which has access to Kano or any state government, would rush to the media to congratulate a contender who had not been selected, without even contacting the selecting authority to ensure the veracity of whatever news it may have heard. ''What is so urgent about congratulating the new Emir that could not have waited for a few hours for the appropriate authority to make an official announcement?'' APC queried. The party said when the announcement was eventually made and the contender who had already been congratulated lost out, it is only natural that his supporters would feel shortchanged. ''It is therefore obvious that the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary went out of their way to stoke the fire of violence in Kano. ''Since we live in a country which is being governed by the rule of law, the best option open to the Kano state government is for the State Attorney-General to immediately initiate criminal proceedings against PDP and its officials for incitement. Whatever explanations they have for their irresponsible and premeditated actions they should reserve for their defence in court ,'' APC said. Kano Protest: Lai Mohammed Is Delusional - PDP Our attention has been drawn to an inciting and misleading statement by Lai Mohammed wherein he again exhibited his penchant for insane blackmail by calling for the arrest of the PDP National Publicity Secretary. We are indeed shocked by this statement and wonder what sort of dirty individual that could be so unprofessional, unprincipled and unethical. Indeed, it appears that lying Lai Mohammed has gone delusional and requires urgent medical attention. Has he become a low life who can go to any extent to score a cheap a political point? It is public knowledge that we made an innocent mistake but immediately withdrew it and tendered an unreserved apology well before the official announcement of the new emir was made. What does Lai Mohammed have to say to Mallam Lamido Sanusi Lamido himself who tweeted at about 8.59 am that same Sunday that Alhaji Lamido Ado Bayero has emerged emir? What does he have for credible electronic and print media organizations who broke the news of the emergence of Ado Bayero as emir upon which prominent Nigerians issued statements congratulating him. We also wish to remind Nigerians of the endless personal attacks by Lai Mohammed on the person of the PDP National Publicity Secretary. In fact, we are aware of the well oiled machinery by the APC for continuos campaign of calumny to discredit and demonize the PDP National Publicity Secretary and other PDP leaders for no just cause. Nigerians often wonder why the APC is seen as a religious, violent and ethnic party. They can now see that this also has to do with the character and content of their spokesperson. Our final advice to Lai Mohammed regarding his incessant lies and insults is for him to seek professional help on his mental state before it becomes too late. End
