The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has accused detractors of peddling falsehood against its Bauchi State gubernatorial candidate, Senator Shehu Buba.
The PRP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Muhammed Ishaq, said it has confidence in Buba, noting it is obvious that opponents are threatened by his popularity.
The party, while calling for a stop to what it described as lies against its candidate, challenged anyone of evidence of any wrong doing to come forward with it.
“The PRP is now convinced that there is a campaign to damage our candidate with tissues of lies and unrestrained mischief. We now believe that these allegations are handiwork of those who are threatened by our candidate’s popularity and his prospects for being voted the next Governor of Bauchi State.
” These lies must stop. Those who have evidence of any criminal activity against him should provide such evidence to the authorities who should treat them as the law provides, ” the party stated.
Furthermore, it stated that “for the avoidance of doubt, the PRP has full confidence in its gubernatorial candidate, a serving Senator and a citizen who stepped up when needed to try and put an end to the scourge of criminality now ravaging the country.
“We believe his rivals and detractors feel threatened by the spread and depth of his popularity, and have now resorted to peddling outrageous and libelous falsehood against him.
“The Party stands with Senator Shehu Buba, its candidate for governorship of Bauchi State.Those who feel threatened by his popularity should attempt to match his acceptance levels and stop this campaign of calumny against him.”
