The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed readiness to offer free technical assistance to the All Progressive Congress (APC) on how to organise itself in a democratic setting.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Olisa Metuh, the party`s National Publicity Secretary on Monday in Abuja.
He said that such assistance would include the conduct of transparent and credible congress following APC`s last weekend postponed ward congress.
“We know the history of this party and the pedigree of its leaders will hardly yield to democracy, but we are confident that our assistance is handy here”, he said.
Metuh recalled that the PDP had held successful congresses and national conventions where party members were allowed level play ground to pursue their ambitions irrespective of sectional, religious and ethnic affiliations.
He described as a huge embarrassment to democracy, APC ward congress at the weekend.
It added that “it is an irony that a party that daily claims it is on a mission to rescue Nigeria could not conduct its own congress.
“The APC chairmen in Rivers, Plateau, Bauchi and the FCT announced the postponement of the exercise in their states.’’ the statement said.
According to him, the situation is so bad that the congress was cancelled in Adamawa and Katsina while in Kano and Sokoto, there was no voting.
Metuh said it was so because both states chose their ward officials via a “strange consensus’’ option.
Metuh said it was unfortunate that APC that asked for the resignation of INEC board, over the conduct of Anambra governorship elections due to slight hitches experienced in the exercise, could not organise its congress.
He said that the APC had no business in a democracy adding that it should be honourable enough to commence the process of its own disbandment, having experienced massive hitches in its congress (NAN) Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I agree with you it is very a big shame resque group they can not arrange them self within there party they want to rule the nation i pity this country on this party if they take over the power frm fry pan to fire
ReplyDeleteAPC is bunch of selfish and religious zealots. They should have no business in governance of this country. Period, Nigerians have to stop. They must be stopped now!!!!!!!. If we cannot God has already stopped them. We can all the symptoms are visible. They believe in getting power by all means, even it means using BK to kill all who do not buy their opinion. And those whose religions they do not like.
ReplyDeleteAPC is dictatorial in its DNA configuration. Democratic practices like congresses and elections are strange to it. Defunct CPC and ACN unashamedly imposed candidates on their members. And El-Rufai has been cailling for use of "force' to take over power in 2015.
ReplyDeleteIts true, I wonder how this people would rule this country, while they're not practicing democracy.most of them are too selfish, while some are even arrogant.
