In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why the PDP, beset with a humongous crisis of its own making, would use the time it doesn’t have to dabble into what is strictly the internal affairs of the ACN, an issue that has no bearing on governance at the national level where the PDP has been bumbling.
It said the ACN leadership has no regrets for saying Gov. Fayemi should be allowed to go for a second term because he has performed well, adding that a student who does well deserves promotion.
”This is unlike the situation in the PDP where even a President who has failed woefully, using his own lowered ‘marking scheme’, is being offered an automatic ticket! ACN rewards excellence, not indolence, and we have no apologies for this,” the party said, asking when Mr. Bamidele appointed the PDP as his defender.
ACN wondered why the PDP leadership has been gallivanting from one zone to another trying to reconcile its ever-warring members, if indeed the ruling party believes that other parties have no right to do the same.
”It seems, however, that what has irked the PDP is that where its own reconciliation efforts have failed woefully, because they were insincere, ACN’s have succeeded, due largely to the discipline in the party and the sincerity of its efforts. After all, we don’t go around suspending or destroying our best performers in the name of ‘reconciliation’.” it said.
ACN advised the PDP’s Acting National Publicity Secretary, Tony Okeke, to learn the elementary lessons of being a party spokesman, which include that you don’t just make comments unless their are compelling reasons to do so.
”We have noticed the enthusiasm of the new spokesman, which is good, especially since he wants to impress his masters so they can keep him on the job. But he needs tutelage and mentoring so that he can carry out his duties effectively. So far, he has not availed himself creditably,” the party said.
Meanwhile, the ACN has said its spokesman has been vindicated for saying that the party’s former National Treasurer, Mr. Kenneth Kobani, had other reasons for resigning from the party than what he (Kobani) said, which is that the APC ”has a clear ethno-religious slant, and does not take into account the security and geo-political realities of the very complex Nigerian state”.
The party said Mr. Kobani’s true position has been reflected in the fact that he was part of the PDP’s delegation to a meeting with President Jonathan, even when he (Kobani) had barely left the ACN.
”We knew the truth would soon come out, but it did even sooner than we imagined. First, the PDP placed a full page advert to cast aspersion on our party’s spokesman (as if there is no better way to spend a party’s funds), and then Mr. Kobani on the same day surfaced in Abuja as a member of delegation of a faction of Rivers PDP!.

Acn is now telling pdp to mind her business. Now wahao no be. This. Acn. That is critic. Of all pdp actions
ReplyDeleteSo CAN knows that there's something called "minding your own business" when they spend all their time and energy on PDP affairs...Amaechi, Jang etc. Hipocrisy at the highest level. CAN is a one-man show..Tinubu only. The man installed his daughter who is not a market woman as Iyaloja-general and nobody said anything..even Fashola. It's a shame. CAN is a terrible party. In Lagos govt doesn't pay for anything anymore it's PPP where the people pay for everything. May be FG should put 10 toll-gates on Benin-Ore road and 15 on Lagos-Ibadan road because Fashola is putting 3 on short Lekki-Epe expressway. But the problem is PDP is not even giving us the confidence to support them. All these politrickians are just not it jare.
DeleteAPC is a Muslim Brotherhood party.
