According to PDP, the bank accounts of its Vice Presidential candidiate
in the 2019 election, Peter Obi and that of his wife, Margaret, have
been frozen by the Buhari-led government. Read the statement from the
party belowThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign
Organization (PPCO) decries the stoppage of transactions on all accounts
belonging to PDP Vice presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, wife, his
family members and their businesses by agencies of the Muhammadu Buhari
administration.Since his nomination, Peter Obi, apart from facing series
of failed attempts by the APC to destroy his reputation, has also
continued to receive all manners of threats and blackmail, including
threats to his life and those of his wife and children.Having realized
that the majority of Nigerians are rallying behind the duo of Atiku
Abubakar and Peter Obi as the our Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates respectively, the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives
Congress (APC) have resorted to all manners of machinations, including
smear campaigns and direct attacks on their persons and business
concerns, in a bid to run them down.The Buhari Presidency is intimidated
by Peter Obi’s resume, particularly, his general acceptance as epitome
of fiscal responsibility, frugality and transparency in
governance.Otherwise, why is the Presidency on a wild goose chase in
investigating Peter Obi, who left office as Governor of Anambra state
five years ago with a nationally acclaimed clean record, intact
reputation for frugality, transparency, zero tolerance for corruption
and leaving behind a huge saving of N75 billion naira in cash and
investments; without owing any salaries, pensions, gratuities or even
contractors for contracts executed.The fact remains that the Buhari
Presidency and the APC are merely shadow boxing in their attacks on
Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, as their records before Nigerians speak
for them.All discerning Nigerians know that the reasons for an
investigation on a man like Peter Obi, is a journey to no where aimed to
stifle him of funds as well as attempt to distract our campaign and
divert attention from the failures of the Buhari administration.It is
ludicrous that President Buhari would continue to condone the looting of
our treasuries by his party leaders and the cabal in his Presidency,
which even, the First Lady had even alluded to, only to be using
government agencies to attempt to blackmail our Presidential and vice
Presidential candidates whose reputations stand clear before all
Nigerians.The PPCO reminds President Buhari that neither he nor Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo was in 2015, as candidates, harassed, attacked
at the airport or subjected to blackmails, and wonder why they are now
employing such tactics just because Nigerians have resolved to do away
with them, come 2019.PDP alleges bank accounts of Peter Obi and his wife have been frozen
