The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, on Wednesday flayed President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), over their claims that some governors elected on the platform of the opposition party were working for the reelection of the president.
Secondus said by so claiming, APC was trying to create a false impression that it was a popular political party when “the hand writing on the wall is clear that the people have rejected them outright.”
In a statement from his media office signed by Ike Abonyi, Prince Secondus said it was “laughable that even with the glaring incompetence of the APC administration in the last 42 months that has put our nation in a comatose state, the party still expects somebody with sane mind to leave PDP and join it.”
“When it happens that somebody had to leave light to join darkness, then know it that all is not well with the such a person.
“Nigerians have been watching regrettably a president and his party that cannot embark on campaign because he has nothing to showcase indulging in photo-shopping with anything associated to PDP to drop wrong impression of popularity.
“Having failed to find a performing APC governor to flaunt, the party and the president are now indulging themselves in name dropping and rumour peddling of having in their fold some performing PDP governors.”
Prince Secondus said the PDP was aware that APC’s new antics was a design handed down to them by their hired experts to water the ground for rigging but warned that “no amount of photo tricking will make Nigerians lose sight of the tortuous and regrettable journey they embarked on with the the APC in the last 42 months.”
