Demarketing Nigeria: Presidency replies PDP, says Buhari will never lie to Nigerians and the world

Earlier today, PDP national spokesperson, Olisa Metuh,
released a statement saying that president Buhari is
"demarketing Nigeria" to heads of other governments
over his comments about Nigeria. Now the presidency
has released a statement reacting to the statement.
Read below..
Our attention has been drawn to the latest statement by
the PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh alleging that President
Muhammadu Buhari is “demarketing Nigeria”.
We restate for the umpteenth time to Mr. Metuh and his
ilk that their attempts to distract President Buhari from
the job he has been elected to do will fail.
President Buhari will remain true to the virtues of
honesty, integrity, sincerity, incorruptibility and plain-
speaking which endeared him to Nigerians and made
them prefer his leadership that of a lying and deceptive
PDP administration.
The President will not, in the guise of “marketing” the
country, refrain from telling Nigerians and the world, the
emerging truths about the abject state in which years of
plundering by a PDP leadership has left the Nigerian
treasury and economy.
President Buhari will not in the name of “marketing” or
“attracting” investors, follow in the footsteps of the
ousted PDP Administration and its discredited officials
who shamelessly lied to Nigerians and the world about
the buoyancy and vibrancy of an economy they had bled
dry for personal gain, when it was very obvious to the
discerning, that the Nigerian economy was headed for
serious trouble.
It is most unfortunate that instead of showing some
remorsefulness for the harm done to the nation by his
party, and giving genuine support for President Buhari’s
efforts to salvage and revamp the national economy, Mr.
Metuh persists in a vain attempt to remain relevant on
the national stage by unjustly denigrating the President
who continues to strive with all his might to alleviate
and reverse the harm done to the nation by PDP misrule
and corruption.
Mr. Metuh’s antics are futile. President Buhari cannot be
distracted by a broken record. If the PDP spokesman
ever has serious matters to bring to our attention, we
will be prepared to listen.
