Following a recent criticism by PDP spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh that President Buhari was demarketing Nigeria, the presidency has said that Buhari will remain true to Nigerians and the International community by always telling them the truth.
Buhari had during his recent visit to India said that Nigeria was broke and could therefore not afford to engage 42 ministers as was done by the previous administration.
The PDP spokesman had subsequently criticized him for selling Nigeria cheap before the international community by saying that the country could not afford to pay cabinet ministers.
Reacting to Metuh's claims, Presidential spokesman, Mr Femi Adeshina said in a statement he issued to newsmen that Buhari would not be distracted from his obligations to the Nigerian people.
He said ; “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 to 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.”
