Paul Ibe, media aide of the presidential candidate of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has asked
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to tell Nigerians the
kind of marijuana he smokes.
He said this in reaction to Mohammed’s statement that Atiku
should apologize to Nigerians for “willfully distracting” the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration with an election petition.
The Minister said while the PDP and its candidate reserved the right
to pursue their petition to the highest level, they will be better
served by dropping their toga of desperation and realizing that there is
a limit to tomfoolery.
“Nigerians are tired of this orchestrated distraction, and will
rather wish that the opposition, having lost at the polls and in court,
will now join hands with the government to move Nigeria to the next
level.
“This is more so that the judgement validating the re-election of
President Muhammadu Buhari was unanimous that the petition lacked merit,
that the petitioners failed to prove any of the grounds upon which
their case was anchored and that President Buhari is eminently qualified
to contest the poll.
“It is intriguing that a party that trumpets the rule of law at every
turn will present, in open court, evidence it claimed to have obtained
by hacking into a supposed INEC server,” he had said.
On Twitter, Ibe tweeted: “Lai: Atiku should apologise to Nigerians.
“Me: For real? What type of weed are you smoking? It can only be #CertifiedWeed.”
