PDP ATTACK ON BUHARI SHOWS IT SUPPORTS IMPUNITY AND CORRUPTION.- APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the
Peoples Democratic Party of openly launching a
counter-offensive against the efforts of the Buhari
administration to rid the country of impunity and
corruption, but warned that the opposition party will
fail in its attempt to take Nigerians back to Egypt.
“Saturday’s Press Statement by the PDP is nothing but
a thinly-veiled frontal assault on the relentless efforts
of the Buhari Administration’s to clean the Augean
Stable of the last PDP Federal Government,” the party
said in a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed
”With its statement that is nothing but an unabashed
support for impunity and corruption, as well as its
major actors, the PDP has now confirmed itself as the
official ‘poster boy’ for corruption in Nigeria.”
APC said the long-winding sophistry about the rule of
law, democracy and personal freedoms is aimed at
couching the PDP’s abhorrence and disdain for the
fight against corruption in democratic clichés,
especially now that the battle is gradually hitting the
PDP where it hurts.
The party said for the PDP’s National Publicity
Secretary himself, the persistent onslaught against the
Buhari administration is neither altruistic nor informed
by any belief in higher values, “because the allegations
of corruption hanging on his own neck, from within his
own party, is a clear indication that he is mortally
afraid that the wind will soon blow hard enough to
expose the fowl’s rump”.
“Neither the PDP as a party nor its spokesman have the
moral authority to condemn anyone, least of all a
President that is working hard to rescue Nigeria from
the abyss to which it has been plunged by the former
ruling party.
“For the PDP to brush aside the latest revelation that a
government it sired could not account for $700 million
from the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF), or the fact that
the party could not account for billions of Naira in its
own campaign funds, and then launch a frontal attack
against a reformist government, is the height of
shamelessness.
“For the ethically-challenged spokesman of the same
morally-deficient party to continue to spew trash under
the guise of opposition politics is totally provocative
and absolutely unacceptable. Worse still, the lack of
focus in the labyrinthine statements being issued by
the opposition party has confirmed the prescience of
the APC’s offer to the PDP’s spokesman to take a
crash course in how to speak for the opposition,” APC
said.
