The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has asked Bola Tinubu, a national leader of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), to avoid “being used a second time”.
The opposition party said this
while reacting to statement made by Tinubu at his colloquium.
The former Lagos governor had
asked Nigerians not to accept the apology of the PDP.
But in a statement on Thursday,
Kola Ologbondiyan, spokesman of the PDP, said Nigerians had already accepted
the apology.
Ologbondiyan said Tinubu should
be blamed for helping enthrone a government that is “incompetent, divisive and
nepotic”.
“The party advises Tinubu not to
allow himself to be used a second time as he still bears a gross part of the
blame for the enthronement of this incompetent, divisive, nepotic and
inherently corrupt administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, which has
brought the nation to its knees in three years,” the statement read.
“Without listening to the
prompting of any politician, Nigerians across board have taken the liberty to
accept PDP’s apology which was made patriotically in the overall interest of
national healing, reconciliation, unity and cohesion.
“The PDP watched with amusement
as Asiwaju Tinubu struggled with words to appease president Buhari and give him
assurances that he can win a second term election in the face of mass failure
both in governance and in their discredited, rejected and troubled platform.
“It was a direct admittance of
failure and indictment on President Buhari’s administration, when Asiwaju
pointedly told the President that the ship of the nation, under his (Buhari’s)
watch, still needs to be rescued, almost three years down the line.
“It is tragic that Asiwaju had to
tutor his visitor, who had no policy direction since his election in 2015, by
engaging in a revision of the programmes and policies of the PDP, such as the
leasing system, the mortgage and pension schemes which boosted the economy and
directly impacted on the lives of Nigerians.”
The PDP also advised
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to stop “diminishing his office and person by
joining in the bandying of unverified figures and making unsubstantiated
allegations of corruption against the PDP”.
“He should name any corrupt
individual in the rebranded and repositioned PDP or show any proof that the
PDP, as a party, had ever been charged, indicted or convicted of any act of
corruption,” Ologbondiyan said.
