The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has distanced itself from the newly formed Advanced Peoples Democratic
Alliance (APDA). The former ruling party said APDA
did not emanate from its stable.
APDA, a new party, was unveiled
in Abuja on Monday. Raymond Dokpesi, a member of the PDP, was at the event.
In a statement issued hours after
the launch, Dayo Adeyeye, spokesman of the PDP, said the former ruling party
did not sponsor the establishment of the new party.
He also said the PDP was in no
way associated with the APDA.
“In the last few hours we have received numerous calls from our party members, concerned citizens and well-wishers on our association or otherwise with the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) which was unveiled today at Abuja,” he said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate once again that we are not in any way associated with the new party in any form or guise. The APDA is neither an offshoot of the PDP nor its alter ego as some are speculating.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“This statement is made purely to set the records straight and to avoid unnecessary innuendos, speculations and ambiguity that may threaten the continued unity and solidarity of our party members”, he added.
