The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, as a Janus-faced bumbling party for engaging in a serial mudslinging against t​he ​APC and its leaders, especially in the aftermath of its hugely successful national convention in which Muhammadu Buhari was elected as the APC’s presidential candidate.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the same PDP that has been preaching issues-based electioneering campaign has done nothing but mudslinging against the person of ​Mr​. Buhari, his running mate​, ​Yemi Osinbajo, our leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu and indeed the entire APC.

It said the spokespersons for President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP, apparently stung into a stupor by the rancour-free emergence of the party’s candidates for the 2015 general elections and the overwhelmingly positive reactions from Nigerians, have thrown caution and decency to the wind by their crude, rude and rambling statements.

”What is issues-based in calling Gen. Buhari a ‘semi-literate jackboot’ as the PDP’s National Secretary Wale Oladipo has incautiously said? Where are the issues in the pejorative reference to Prof. Osinbajo as an ‘acolyte’ of Tinubu, or in describing Tinubu himself as a puppeteer, as the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh has said in the most vitriolic and irresponsible statement that can ever be issued by the spokesman of a ruling party anywhere?

”Where are the issues contained in the statement by the serial bumbler and gormandizer called Doyin Okupe, who regards ​Mr​. Buhari’s refusal to enrich himself from the public till as a vice rather than a virtue? Why would a ruling party go after the jugular of the opposition simply because it took its time in choosing its presidential running mate, especially since it did not run foul of any electoral law in doing so?

”The truth is that the Jonathan Presidency and the PDP have no issues to canvass during the electioneering campaign for the 2015 general elections because they have wasted the mandate given to them by Nigerians on the altar of unprecedented corruption, incomprehensible incompetence and cluelessness and perhaps the worst leadership ever inflicted on our country,” APC said.

The party expressed delight that Nigerians have taken it upon themselves to respond to the PDP and its barbarians, especially in the social media.
”Had these philistines been monitoring the reactions of Nigerians to the capricious comments they have been making against the person of ​Mr. Buhari and his party, they would have desisted. But then, they need to impress their paymasters. It seems the more they pour invective on our leaders and our party, the bigger their pay. We wish them luck in their ludicrous pursuit and shadow chasing,” it said.

APC assured Nigerians that its campaign for next year’s elections would be based on how the party plans to restore hope to the forlorn citizens, who have been taken for a ride by the government they voted into power, how Nigeria can be made great again and how the comatose economy can be resuscitated, for the benefit of all, rather than a few fat cats.

”We are delighted at the increasing level of political awareness among Nigerians and their engagement in the political scene. We believe Nigerians are more interested in what the candidates for next year’s elections can offer rather than on how much mudslinging they can dish out. In the end, Nigerians, who are the real masters, will spot the difference!” the party said.

Smart

Very sensible and matured.

This is the real fresh air, decency and maturity we crave.

'In the end, Nigerians, who are the real masters will spot the difference'..... couldn't have been said better.

If this would be the response to all the vituperations from oladipo, okupe, omokiri,metuh & of course the pdp-then we know who the real jackboots are!

I've said it that you know your time has come by the time you are getting things right.
APC is doing wonderfully well nowadays. APC handlers are handling PDP the way a responsible father would handle his children.

what an beautiful write, this is exactly what I expected from a mature spokesman. Bastard doyin okupe, pls learn from this on how to talk and release a coherent statement .

Lai Mohammed delivers another stunning blow to the PDP

When a presdient that has been at the helm for 6yrs has no achievements to point to they resort to "issues based campaign" like Gen. Buhari a ‘semi-literate jackboot’, Prof. Osinbajo as an ‘acolyte’ of Tinubu, or in describing Tinubu himself as a puppeteer.

I dont blame the PDP because I suspect Olisa Metuh probably copied the phrase "issue based campaign" from a foreign source and probably doesnt know the meaning other than the normal senseless vituperations

Philistines democratic party, pdp...

PDP are mudslinging because they've got nothing to hold against the peoples general. I don't even know what their campaign is gonna be about. Awon goons having a goon as a leader.

Very apt and mature response.

What is happening? Honestly most of you PDP guys have suddenly become incoherent.
I read your gibberish and it clearly shows you did not get it.
What APC did in this response is to take the moral high road leaving PDP looking like the opposition party.
It is a cruel irony of fate. THE OPPOSITION IS ACTING LIKE THE PARTY IN POWER WHILE THE PARTY IN POWER IS ACTING LIKE THE PARTY IN OPPOSITION!!

I sense pain in Lair Muhammed's response
