The All Progressive Congress (APC), on Sunday tasked the opposition party PDP, to engage the ruling party on good governance and not get itself involved in idle and specious talks.
While charging PDP to learn how to play proper opposition politics, Mr. Lanre Issah-Onilu, the APC, National Publicity Secretary, in a statement averred that
PDP’s allegation of “in-fighting’ within the APC and the presidency over appointments should not be an issue of concern to it.
Issah-Onilu, said: “The party that was sent into a state of shock following the outcome of the National Assembly election is now accusing APC of infighting.
“The accusation is coming from the PDP that failed to rally its members to support its own candidates for principal offices at the National Assembly.”
Perhaps, to the delusional PDP, he said it is a sign of division within our rank to successfully mobilize our members behind our candidates for the National Assembly election.
The statement added: “As contained in PDP’s latest statement, odious practices like looting, booty sharing and power-grabbing are not practices that the APC wishes to continue from the wasted PDP years.
“Nigerians voted against these devious practices of PDP in 2015 and 2019 and opted for Change, which APC represents.
“We therefore call on the PDP to do better as opposition by engaging our party on issues of good governance and matters that would better the lives of the people.”
This is the least Nigerians expect from the main opposition party, he added.
He said, while the APC does not owe the PDP any explanation of the modalities for appointments, the party assures Nigerians that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration would always appoint deserving individuals who share our progressive ideals and change agenda into positions
