“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth”.
On 22rd March 2020, HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar out of his undying love for Nigerians and been a true leader and statesman personally made a post on his official Twitter handle’ I quote’ “My son has tested positive to coronavirus. NCDC has been duly informed, and he has been moved to Gwagwalada Specialist Teaching Hospital in Abuja for treatment and management. I will appreciate it if you have him in your prayers. Stay safe, coronavirus is real’. -AA
Not less than an hour, this unexpected development became an opportunity for opportunists, mischief makers, propagandists and APC data boys.
How can we progress when we failed to know when to play politics and when not to play politics.
Just yesterday Bauchi State government made a press release informing the public that Gov Bala Muhammed has gone into isolation over his physical encounter and handshaking with AA son in the airport, few hour after this propaganda was released, same Governor tested negative from coronavirus as announced, now I asked a question, must Bauchi state government drag AA son into their COVID-19 propaganda? Knowing to well that Atiku son has no physical contact with Gov Bala Muhammed when they met in the airport, they only had a distance greetings.
From the day this incidence occurred, social media platforms now filled with fake information and propagandas, they have released fake club video all aimed at denting the image of HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Gcon, why? Is it because he played a fatherly role to save others?.
Investigations revealed that some of the lawmakers and political leaders that reportedly/allegedly refused to submit themselves for Coronavirus test on their arrival from foreign trip are the ones behind this cheap propaganda against HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, what a country!.
Since the inception of democracy, HE Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been a key player in our nation development, he has been a voice to the voiceless, the only voice opposition listens and respect, a bridge builder and true a democrat.
I urge us to learn when to play politics and when not to play politics, NO ONE KNOWS WHO’S NEXT!.
No doubt, we will continue to redirect and confront them with truth whenever the need arise anywhere.
Note’ Coronavirus is real, play safe and obey directives.
