The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has alleged that the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari administration is rattling the
Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The minister spoke in reaction to a statement by Abubakar’s media aide, which, among others, flayed the Federal Government’s showcasing of its activities and achievements. It also alleged that the APC-led Federal Government was using state resources to fund the APC’s campaign.
Mohammed however said in a statement issued in Ilorin on Friday that it was up to those who made the accusation on the use of state resources for campaign to prove it in line with the maxim that he who alleges must prove.
He said, ‘’In publicising the activities and achievements of the Federal Government, the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture is only carrying out its statutory role.
“Long before the elections, the ministry has used various platforms, including town hall meetings, to showcase the activities and achievements of the administration.
‘’We understand that the PDP and the Atiku Campaign Organisation have been rattled by the achievements as well as the effectiveness of the campaign to showcase them.”
