The
All Progressives Congress, Lagos State chapter, says the Peoples
Democratic Party’s comment, describing Governor Babatunde Fashola as a
dictator, shows that the party is desperate for recognition.
The PDP had said Fashola was a dictator based on the ‘deportation’ of some destitute persons to Anambra State.
The APC said the PDP’s comment, through its acting National Publicity Secretary, was “outlandish and hollow.”
In a statement on Monday by the state’s
Interim Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, the party said
having failed in 14 years of “regressive politics, the PDP is clutching
on to any imaginable straw to survive.”
The party said, “By trying to take
advantage of the action of the Lagos State Government to relocate 14
destitute persons to their home states, the PDP through its Acting
Publicity Secretary is showing the kind of desperation that has hit the
party as it comes in full contact with the fruits of its wanton
plundering of state resources to render Nigeria a huge colony of beggars
and destitute.
“We ask the Acting Publicity Secretary
to help resolve the issues raised by the full disclosure by the Lagos
State Government on the resettlement issue, which bordered on
communication between Lagos and Anambra state governments on the 14
destitute persons prior to their resettlement.
“Is he not aware that his party (PDP)
has shipped out thousands of destitute persons and beggars from the
Federal Capital Territory before he embarked on his journey of childish
political profiteering?”
The party said instead of raising dust
where there was none, the PDP should ask itself why Lagos must take the
“army of destitute persons it had been churning out after stealing
hundreds of trillions of a 14-year-old oil windfall.”
Igbokwe said, “We are aware that the PDP
is scared stiff by the emergence of the APC, the success of its
governors and the potential it offers Nigerians in the face of the grand
and monumental failure of the PDP.
“But we want to assure this party that nothing will stop their rustication in 2015.”

No i disagree wholeheartedly, APC is more desperado by going extra mile to join other parties in other to achieve their selfish political aims
ReplyDeleteBeware of APC.
ReplyDeleteBad Tribal Oriented Party
Those who describe APC as tribal party are obviously Igbos with grievances against virtually all other tribes in nigeria. We know the capabilities of PDP. They have no idea to offer anything good. Those in support of them can retain them in their various states and they will be on their own as they really are now and they will not be expected to cry of underdevelopment or cry for being prevented from storming n spoiling the good states. The power is shifting away from PDP/JEG if our votes will really count. Those with good brains should think about this.
