The advert shows pictures of previously deceased Nigerian leaders and appears to predict death for Buhari as well saying that citizens should avoid another state burial by re-electing President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former Head of State has spoken out via Twitter about the advert.
In his words...
'I have become seriously disturbed by the volume of falsehood and desperation from the opposition campaign of the PDP.
I clearly underrated the panic and lack of integrity that leads people to tell barefaced lies, and must confess, it continues to confound me
I have run for office before, but I have consistently done so without desperation or anger, because elections are not war.
Why should candidates tell so many frantic lies in order to win elections, if truly their purpose is to ‘transform’ the lives of our people?
It is a tragedy to see the ruling party focus on pettiness and lies; rumours of cancer, foreign treatment, and certificates they know exist.
The desperation is beyond my understanding. #ThingsMustChange
What is this obsession with lies? What is this obsession with pettiness? What is this obsession with threats and attacks?
All of us, citizens and voters need to ask ourselves – why is our President so desperate?
How can the President of this country be talking about remembering phone numbers and coup speeches?
How can a President who has led this country for six years be unable to run on his own record and his achievements?
How can his campaign be talking about dead ex-leaders, jogging around the stadium and outright lies about my health?
Where is his fabled calm, where is his reserve, where is his composure? Why is he so ruffled? Why is he so frustrated and afraid?
We should be deeply worried that a President who called for calm during governorship elections has now lost his cool in his own elections.
Our President and his allies must remember that he is not only a candidate for office; he is the President of Nigeria.
We do not have a disinformation or propaganda wing in our campaign. We have no need to waste time in driving petty attacks.
We have not spoken about the President's family, his health, his religion, his ethnic group, or his phone number.
We are concerned only about his record – has he secured Nigeria? Has he fought corruption? Has he truly grown the economy so it can work?
Can our president keep us safe when we travel to any part of this country? Is your life better today than it was six years ago?
We have only presented our record – how we fought insurgencies, how we stabilised the naira, how we tackled corruption.
Therefore, I shall refuse to indulge the smear campaign. I refuse to allow them take away the focus from the issues that concern you.
Let us focus on those issues, please. Elections are not war. February 14 is not about politicians. It is about our country.
We insist on a campaign of hope, change and the future. This election is about big, important issues. We refuse to play it small.
Join us as we continue the relentless pace of our rallies in Minna and Kaduna today. #Change is finally here, my friends. - GMB
