The spokesperson of the President Muhammadu Buhari re-election campaign, Festus Keyamo (SAN) has accused members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of not thinking straight.
Keyamo made this remark in reaction to the purported clampdown on the opposition party by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated that the party has lost the sympathy of Nigerians because of its sins against Nigerians and blood on its hands.
Speaking to Punch, Keyamo said: “They did it to people and so they assume others will also do it. That is why you can see that they have written letters to the United Nations, crying to high heaven that some people want to rig elections.
“That was exactly what they did, so they are already assuming and it is just a wrong assumption that others will do what they did too.“You can see that is why they are not getting the sympathy of Nigerians because the people know that they (PDP members) are crying foul.
“So, on the issue of clampdown on the opposition, that is a military term. It does not apply and it will never apply in a democratic setting such as this.“They are the ones who called for the looters’ list and the federal government obliged them. Can you see that these people are confused?
“The members of the PDP, with all due respect, are like somebody who had ‘killed’ so many people. I am not saying that literally; I am saying this as an analogy.“They are like someone who killed so many people and blood is on their hands, then the person begins to behave like a mental patient because they have committed so many atrocities.
“When you have committed so many atrocities, you don’t think straight again because the blood of people is now on your hands.“They have committed so much sin against Nigerians that, right now, they are not thinking straight again. That is what is taunting them right now.“That is why you see them issuing all kinds of inconsistent statements. They are no longer thinking straight.”
