In continuation of the war of words between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the opposition parties, the PDP yesterday responded to what it termed the ACN sponsored vicious attack on the ruling party
According to Statement signed and issued by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh yesterday, the PDP said; “The statement is a mere cover-up for the divisions, quarreling and dissensions that marred their meeting today in Abuja. Instead of unnecessarily attacking the PDP, the ACN and its co-traveller, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) should be bold enough to tell Nigerians the outcome of their meeting, where their members were sharply divided over comments by their leader, General Muhammadu Buhari condemning the decision by the Federal Government to root out insurgency in the country and describing it as an attack on the north.”
According to Metuh in his statement, he said; “Many of their members have now realized that they are in the wrong boat captained by insensitive religious and tribal bigots. This can only vindicate the PDP which has continued to caution Nigerians against being deceived by wolves parading themselves as saviors.”
“In any case, it is clear that the opposition parties have nothing to offer. The barking of 20 dogs can never scare an elephant. These frustrated tribal cum religious associations can never be equated to a national party,” Metuh said.
