The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has described the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  as wailing wailers, urging them to be set for louder lamentations.

“If PDP has begun to cry wolf where there was none on INEC chairman, then they should be set for louder lamentations. The wailing wailers,” Adesina posted on his Twitter handle.

Adesina was reacting to the allegation by the PDP that the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mrs. Amina Bala Zakari is sympathetic to the ruling, All Progressives Congress, APC.

“The situation in INEC since the PDP government reformed and granted it operational autonomy has been peaceful, but Tuesday’s untidy overruling of Professor Jega and appointing of Mrs. Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman which, we gathered, was influenced by personal relationship with the Presidency and one of the new Governors of the North West, ostensibly to pave the way for the APC at the electoral tribunals, has completely eroded public trust in the commission,” noted PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a press statement.

“In INEC, the PDP States in unequivocal terms that we cannot, as critical stakeholders, fold our hands and watch while the Presidency perpetuates actions that diminish the independence of the electoral commission,” he added.
