Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said the opposition is using fake news and hate speech as campaign tools to de-market President Muhammadu Buhari, ahead of the 2019 general elections.
“Buhari has indicated interest to contest the 2019 presidential election under the platform of his ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The opposition has latched on to the use of fake news as a campaign tool ahead of the 2019 general elections.
“With the Buhari Administration delivering on its promises to fight corruption, build the nation’s economy and tackle insecurity, the opposition has realised it will not make any impact if it takes on the Administration on that turf.
“So, it has decided to take the easy route, which is to use fake news and hate speech to de-market the Administration, pitch Christians against MuslimS and one ethnic group against another.
“In short, it wants to plunge the country into turmoil. It is said that the easy way is not always the right way.
“The opposition knows that but it doesn’t care. It is hell bent on dividing Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines,” he said.
