The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), yesterday, said that Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, lied when he said that its Presidential Candidate, Major-General Mohammadu Buhari (retd) signed to serve only one term, if elected.

Describing the governor as an incurable liar afflicted with the diarrhoea of the mouth, APCPCO said in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, that the idea was a figment of Aliyu’s imagination.

The statement added that the thought was jaundiced, ill-motivated and irresponsible.

APCPCO said it was not surprised by Governor Aliyu’s blatant lies considering that he has also been at the centre of controversy of being in possession of a letter in which his party’s presidential candidate signed onto a one-term pact with governors of the ruling party.

“When has this Governor of a grossly underdeveloped state suddenly become a clairvoyant who knows what obtains in places where he was never present or represented? Is he an APC member? If not, how and where did he get his information from? And what Northern Nigeria is he representing?
