What kind of silly and immature opposition are these guys playing? Even if you won't hang his picture, should you go squealing to the press? We're talking of an opposition that should be providing an alternative blueprint and vision for the country, these ones are talking about portrait? What kind of idiots are these?

Olisa Metuh should be sacked. He'll keep ridiculing the party if he's left in that office.

Flame4chi:
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party
has refused to hang the official portrait of President
Muhammadu Buhari at the party’s national secretariat,
checks by The PUNCH have revealed.
Over 100 days after the President assumed office, the
PDP has yet to hang his portrait at any of the offices in
Wadata House national secretariat, located at Zone 5,
Abuja.
The party has also said it would never put Buhari’s
portraits on its walls though it has removed that of the
former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who ruled on
the platform of the PDP.
“We will never hang his portrait in this office, because
President Buhari is not known to our party. He is not a
leader of our party and therefore we will never put his
portrait here. We are a political party, very partisan and
therefore, we are not going to hide that,” National
Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told our
correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday.
Jonathan was also the presidential candidate of the
former ruling party during the last general election but
he was defeated by Buhari, who was the presidential
candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress.
The defeat was the first to be suffered by the PDP since
the return of democracy in 1999.
Before now, the party has always been hanging the
portraits of all the Presidents at the party’s reception area
as well as the National Executive Committee and National
Working Committee halls within the secretariat.
Metuh said the APC also did not hang the portrait of
Jonthan in its offices before the former President was
defeated in the March 28 election.
“Can you find out if the APC had the portrait of former
President Jonathan in their office before he was
defeated? That is just it,” he told our correspondent.
When asked whether the party was taking its own pound
of flesh, Metuh said no but that since Buhari “is not a
member of our party, we won’t put his portrait here.”
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai
Mohammed, expressed shock at Metuh’s comment.
“This is ridiculous and we have no comment. Let
Nigerians judge the PDP on this matter,” Mohammed
said.
He said the PDP spokesman had a shallow understanding
of the concept of opposition politics.
Meanwhile, work has stopped at the new secretariat of
the PDP, located in the Central Business District, Abuja.
Investigations by our correspondent indicated that
contractors handling the project were only doing skeletal
jobs at the site.
When our correspondent visited the site on Tuesday,
there was no visible job being done at the site.
It was gathered that the cost of the project was put at
N11.5bn when it was awarded some years ago. At
completion, the building is expected to have 12 floors,
with two other floors serving as the car park.
The party had claimed that the project was being
financed from levies and contributions from members.
When a fund-raising dinner was organised a few years
ago, the party was able to realise about N5bn, and the
project, which started more than four years ago, was to
be delivered in 126 weeks.
The former National Chairman of the party, under whose
leadership the project commenced, Prince Vincent
Ogbulafor, had then said that the complex, when
completed, would strengthen the capacity of the PDP to
discharge its role effectively in Africa.
The party had claimed on January 5, 2015 that it was
going to spend part of the N21.8bn it realised from the
party’s fund-raising on the party’s secretariat.
A former Minister for Information and the Chairman of
the party’s Fund-raising Committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, had
said the money donated to the PDP was not meant for
the campaign of the defeated Jonathan alone.
