The spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday said the party deserves to be congratulated for having the confidence to apologise to Nigerians.

The Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said this in an interview on Channels Television Programme, Politics Today.

DAILY POST recalls that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Uche Secondus, had apologised to Nigerians for what he described as mistakes the party made while in power.

He made this public apology while delivering a speech at an event in Abuja with the theme: ‘Nation-building: Resetting The Agenda.’

Secondus admitted that although the party did its best while in government, it was not void of mistakes.

Reacting to question on if the PDP was truly remorseful and if the party deserves Nigerians’ trust to be re-elected into power, Ologbondiyan said PDP should rather be congratulated for owning up to its past mistakes.

“I expected you to congratulate the Peoples Democratic Party for having the courage to confront Nigerians and apologise. We have not only apologised as a party, we are very remorseful,” he said.

Ologbondiyan also explained further why the party apologised to Nigerians over past mistakes.

According to him, the party was apologising because it allowed the nation to slip into a ‘pathetic situation.’

“Our apology has to do with the fact that we allowed a movement that has no structure to take over the governance of this nation and push Nigerians to a situation of hunger and starvation and to a pathetic situation, so much that the world is contemplating how they can help us.

“That is the essence of our apology,” he said.

Ologbondiyan also boasted that the party had turned a new leaf and learnt from its past mistakes, thereby seeking Nigerians’ trust to return to power.

He said, “The PDP is the most mature and experienced party. We have seen it all, we have made mistakes in the past but we have come anew. Our party has started a new life.”

Tell us how the massive looting has affected your life then and how better is now become in your APC saint regime of hypocrisy?

after 3years of ruining the economy APC will rather blame ahmadu bello,Gowon and even azikiwe for their failures then claim that all the criminals amongst them are saints.

PDP will be better off now than before because the major looters has cross carpet to APC to evade being persecuted for their evil that is why this regime is worst ever because it comprises of thieves who left to avoid persecution.

may be PDP thought all Nigerians are PIGS. so a thief ll steal from u, come back and tell u sorry and he is expecting u to clap for him.OH MY GOD.wat a useless party

I have been living outside Nigeria for the most part of the last two decades. You are the one to tell us how your life and that of your family could have been without the looting in the last 18 years.

Pay the money back to the treasury then we take their bloody apology serious. Loot at him saying they should be "congratulated" for apologising when we are the victim here, just look at that statement it's not a sign of a party that has fully changed.
