The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to engage its administration on issues of good governance instead of idle talks.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement, said it was now clear that the rejected PDP had again resumed its idle chatter and specious remarks judging by its ‘latest antics and laughable allegations’.
“How long will it take PDP to learn proper opposition politics?”, Issa-Onilu asked.
He said the PDP’s allegation of ‘infighting’ within the APC and the presidency over appointments was ‘shameful interventions’ in the nation’s affairs.
“The party that was sent into a state of shock following the outcome of the National Assembly election is now accusing APC of infighting. The accusation is coming from the PDP that failed to rally its members to support its own candidates for principal offices at the National Assembly.
“Perhaps, to the delusional PDP, it is a sign of division within our rank to successfully mobilize our members behind our candidates for the National Assembly election. In other words, PDP had proved ultimate unity within its rank with several of its members disregarding the directive to vote for its adopted candidates. Here you have a party wallowing in denial.“
“As contained in PDP’s latest statement, odious practices like looting, booty sharing and power-grabbing are not practices that the APC wishes to continue from the wasted PDP years. Nigerians voted against these devious practices of PDP in 2015 and 2019 and opted for Change, which APC represents.“
“We therefore call on the PDP to do better as opposition by engaging our party on issues of good governance and matters that would better the lives of the people. This is the least Nigerians expect from the main opposition party,” the statement read in part.
The APC, which said it did not owe the PDP any explanation of the modalities for appointments, assured Nigerians that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration would always appoint deserving individuals who shared progressive ideals and Change Agenda into positions.
