  • APC to Kwara PDP: you’re still the same

    The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State has described the “re-branded” Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a fraud.

    APC said nothing had changed in a violent PDP that lacks capacity to conduct successful congresses.

    The PDP, on Monday, said it would pursue a five-point agenda, if elected in 2015.

    APC said the opposition PDP has no impactful agenda that can consolidate on the achievements of the APC-led government.

    It said PDP also displayed a dearth of capacity to comprehend government achievements.

    APC’s spokesperson Sulyman Buhari said: “The people do not need Iyiola Oyedepo to address any press conference before they know the true state of PDP.

    “Kwarans are well informed, no amount of non-existing claims or distorted figures or both can deceive them.

    “All over the world, rebranding is embraced by corporate entities, such as the violent PDP, to either shed its negative image or achieve a target or both.

    “As at today, the PDP remains in confusion and purposelessness. How can any reasonable person describe the bloody PDP congresses held in Kwara State as a watershed?

    “These congresses were generally regarded as bloody by Kwarans and the media and the police confirmed same.

    “The PDP penchant for violence is clear and the people  will continue to reject a party that has the potential to institutionalise violence.

    “A party that couldn’t successfully organise congress for its few members can’t be entrusted with governance.

    “Kwarans have testimonies on the giant strides of the APC-led government on education, agriculture, economic empowerment, rural & infrastructural development and health.

    “Leadership is not about promises of a five-point cardinal programme when you fail the simple task of managing a team. APC is not about promises but actions.

    “The PDP press conference betrayed national mood, it speaks volume of an insensitive party that must be rejected by all Nigerians.

    “It is regrettable that the PDP chairman could not allot a paragraph in his address to the  insecurity situation.

    “The world has passed a clear vote of no confidence on the PDP-led Federal Government and Nigerians are left with no option than to bury PDP in 2015.”
