I did not Threaten to Rig Elections – Hon Mohammed Wakil

Source: pointblanknews.com

Our attention has been drawn to a concorted statement circulating on social media and through SMS to the effect that the Minister of State Power, Hon Mohammed Wakil threatened to rig and win forthcoming elections at all cost during a Borno PDP stakeholders' meeting in Maiduguri. The report is an undiluted falsehood peddled by demented minds bent on tarnishing the good image of the Honorable Minister.

 
All events attended by the Honorable Minister in Maiduguri were well publicized by the media .The facts are in public domain. There is no iota of truth in the report and it should be disregarded as a thrash from a desperate mind sensing failure and defeat next year. We challenge the faceless sponsors of the report to provide documentary evidence to back up their claims if they have any

In Borno and national politics, the Honorable Minister is widely known to be a gentleman, a democrat and a matured political actor who does not believe in political violence. Governor Shetima had on several occasions testified to these sterling qualities when he repeatedly described the minister as a responsible, discipline politician for whom he had great respect.

We can however guess that the mammoth reception accorded PDP and its leaders is causing the APC government sleepless nights. The reception of Monday added to the headache of APC government. The unity rally confirmed that the rejuvenated and united PDP is poised to win the state come next year. We are worried that since Monday the state government has largely became desperate, acting in manners unexpected of a ruling government especially under conflict situation.

We want to put it on record that those peddling falsehood against the Honorable Minister are only chasing a shadow. Hon Wakil is not his problem. The crisis Borno state government is having is with the Borno people whom APC had misgoverned and foisted bad governance on. The PDP is only on rescue mission and no amount of cheap blackmail like the post can stop this moving train.

We alert Bornolites and the general public to ignore the fake news. The Honorable Minister is a gentleman per execellence, a democrat and a believer in free and fair elections.
