The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a
ridiculing tone, Tuesday, lambasted the
newly formed All Progressives Congress
(APC) leaders saying they left out something
as basic as registering their name and that
their APC will not exist, as the acronym has
already been taken.
The ruling party described the APC’s
publicity as “the hallmark of political
naivety, painlessness and a foreboding that
the Party will drive Nigeria to socio-political
and economic brink should it be entrusted
with power”.
The party also chastised the leadership of
the new party for failing to “dully reserve or
register the proposed name of their party
before embarking on bleeping jamboree
and propaganda”.
In a statement by the National Publicity
Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, the party
said the reality on the ground has shown
that the leaders of the APC have been
grandstanding while “the first chapter of
their history was yet to be successfully
written”.
“Nigerians are here confronted with an
irony! It is an irony of a political party who
without adequate planning, without a solid
working rhythm, yet wishes to be entrusted
to its effete, shaky shoulders, the fate of
over One Hundred and Sixty Million
Nigerians,” Mr. Metuh said in the statement.
“How can a group who could not conclude
the basic as in due registration of its name
be able to manage the affairs of Nigeria at
this moment of critical challenge.”
The PDP said the parties that formed the APC
have displayed their penchant for arrogance
and deceit.
It accused members of the new party of
lying when it claimed that some PDP
governors and National Assembly members
were planning to join them.
“How can a politician worth his onions leave
a known, formidable and nationwide
political party for a disparate and
unregistered amalgam?” the party asked.
“This false claim is also a window into the
minds of the leaders of the coalition. The
summary is that they are waiting for
decampees from the PDP to build their
party, perhaps, register it for them. What an
illusion! What a self delusion!

Please what are your views on this latest development.

I guess APC didn't see this coming... And it is this lack of foresight that will mar their chances of victory come 2015.. APC must be aware that whenever and wherever PDP have interest it is never a level playing field.. They play by no rules and the umpire awards them no fouls.PDP is a party whose foundation was built on corruption and thrives on same - APC must pre-empt their inscrutable moves and shove their tricks down their bloated bellies. I rest my case. Oya MODs if this don't merit front page refund my megabyte.
