The Peoples Democratic Party said the All Progressives Congress and the Federal Government are chasing shadows in “their desperate plot to implicate the opposition ” in the alleged hacking into the personal record of the then presidential candidate , Muhammadu Buhari .
The party said while it welcomes an open investigation into the Cambridge Analytica saga , it also demands that such inquest be extended to cover the sources of the funds used to prosecute Buhari ’ s campaign in 2015 .
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr . Kola Ologbondiyan , in a statement in Abuja, on Sunday, said the APC was merely seeking to divert public attention from its alleged “manifold failures and scandals . ”
He said it was already public knowledge that neither the PDP nor any of its officials or members were ever linked or indicted in any way in the said saga .
He said , “It is also public knowledge that the document being relied upon by the APC clinically stated that , ‘ there is no suggestion that Jonathan knew of the covert operation . ’
“We are therefore aware that this new agenda is to divert public attention from the various scandalous allegations hanging on the neck of the Buhari Presidency , including the use of looted funds to finance his 2015 presidential election , the Martin Luther Kings award saga , the damaging Bill Gates verdict on the Buhari ’ s economic policies , as well as the numerous financial scandals in the NNPC under his watch .
“This inquest should therefore be completely open and independent of government control, so that Nigerians will know the truth , not only on the Cambridge Analytica saga , but also on the source of funds for the President ’ s 2015 campaign and other sleazes under his watch . ”
