“Our attention has been drawn to a partisan advertorial in the 21st March edition of Daily Trust. This advertorial, placed by a shadowy organization calling itself the Sokoto State Coalition of PDP Supporters, bears the logo of PDP National Youth League and is signed by one Engr. Haruna Usman Shagari.”

According to the media outfit, the allegations by the PDP organ are desperate untruths without a basis but entirely in line with the delusional reactions of the party due to the devastating loss suffered in the presidential election.

“The entire PDP hierarchy has been scared and jumping at their own shadows since the election. They have been seeing phantom conspiracies and imaginary gatherings that make us wonder whether they remain connected to reality. For so long and so often, they cannot even get right the whereabouts of one man. They can’t even tell the truth about the location of a single person shows that they are incompetent to manage the complex affairs of an entire state.”

The media office noted that Tinubu has always been at the forefront of the struggle for electoral reform. It added that the struggle culminated in the establishment of the Uwais Commission by late President Umaru Yar’adua.
