The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leaders are bitter over the “sterling performances” of governors elected on the platform of the PDP.
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, a few days ago, challenged governors elected on the platform of the APC to showcase development projects they had delivered to their various states to prove that they meant well for the people.

But in a reaction, the Secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, cautioned Wike to stop blackmailing the APC and governors elected on its platform.
The PDP, in a statement on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said: “The defunct APC, which structures have collapsed, has been discomfited by the stability and unanimity in the PDP, as well as the resilience of our leaders despite the attempts by the APC and its government to plant seeds of discord in our fold.
“Nigerians can see the frustration in the APC leadership which has now resorted to vicious smear campaign and media attacks on our governors and leaders; having failed in all their sneaky plots to lure them to look the way of the defunct APC.
“It is, therefore, not strange to us that the Secretary of APC’s illegal National Caretaker Committee, Sen. James Akpanudoedehe, has been detailed as new APC spokesperson to commence a coordinated attack on our governors.
“We are aware that this is part of their desperate bid to distract and drag down our performing governors to the level of their APC counterparts who have become a collective symbol of failure in our contemporary political history.”
