Buratai: You Have Lost Focus – Group Tells PDP
Political support and Socio-economic Advocacy Group, Fusion774 said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lost focus as the main opposition political party in Nigeria.
This was contained in a press statement signed and made available to Newsmen by the National Coordinator Mr Sadiq Jikta in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Group is reacting to the news circulating in the media of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), calling on Mr President to recall the Nigeria Envoy to the Republic of Benin, and former Chief of Army Staff, Amb. Tukur Yusufu Buratai (Lt. Gen. Rtd), from his place of assignment.

Fusion774 faulted the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the claim that N1.85 billion was recovered at a property in Abuja belonging to Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Benin Republic and former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Tukur Buratai.
According to Fusion774, the rantings of the PDP were ill-conceived, tactless and inconsequential, and portray it as a party lacking campaign ideas. It is so apparent that the so-called opposition party has lost essence and sense of direction and only now feeds on fake news to justify its existence.
The leadership of the Group wondered why PDP should embark on a calamitous campaign to smear the personality of Amb. Buratai, even after the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) had dissociated itself from the misleading fake reports in circulation. The ICPC stated clearly that it had already apprehended the Managing Director of K Salam Construction Company Nigeria Limited, Mr Kabiru Salau.
The Group said Nigerians want to hear an informed analysis of the contents of the PDP manifesto and advised the party to tell Nigerians what it has in stock for them if they should vote for the party in the coming 2023 general elections.
“In an electioneering period like now, political parties come up with enlightened issues of national importance, issues that will appeal to voters, instead of play diversionary tactics,” it said.
