The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to follow the example of
Ibrahim Mantu and “confess its sins”.
Mantu, a former deputy senate
president, confessed helping the PDP rig elections by “bribing” officials of
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a statement on Saturday,
Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesman of the APC, asked the PDP or toe that line instead
of “indulging in name-calling”.
Abdullahi said since the PDP had
apologised, it should confess its sins “before restitution could be considered”.
“The APC calls on the opposition
PDP to follow the example of one its leaders and former deputy senate
president, Senator Ibrahim Mantu and confess to their sins against the country
instead of indulging in name-calling,” the statement read.
“Apparently burdened by guilty
conscience, the PDP national chairman had last week apologised to the nation
for the years of misrule that his party has brought to the country. The APC
noted this apology but asked the PDP to go a step further and confess to their
sins before restitution could be considered.
“Instead of taking this path to
redemption, PDP has engaged in fruitless ‘you too’ accusations and
name-calling.
“This is further evidence that
PDP is not ready for repentance and only offered the apology with the hope that
Nigerians will grant them amnesty and a short-cut back to power.
“However, now that senator Mantu
has belled the cat, by confessing as to how he has helped the PDP to rig
elections in the past, we hope that PDP will follow the bold example of the
former senator and confess to their other sins against Nigeria.”
