The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday said the gaffe by Iyorchia Ayu, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), where he mistakenly said on Thursday his party has brought shame to Nigeria, was not just a slip of tongue.
The APC’s reaction was contained in a statement, signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media and Publicity of the ruling party’s Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), sent to POLITICS NIGERIA.
According to the ruling party, “the PDP has really brought shame to Nigeria”.
The statement partly reads: “The unravelling of the depraved Peoples Democratic Party reached extreme absurdity yesterday when its National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu while campaigning in Kano, declared that the party brought shame to Nigeria.
“Ayu’s verdict on his own party should not be seen as a mere slip of tongue. It was truly an articulation of the inner mind of the former academic and senate president, a self-admission of the egregious failing of the party when it was in charge of our country for 16 years.
“Ayu’s viral statement that “PDP has brought us shame and we will not retain them in power”, concurs with the general verdict that the party failed the country and its people and should never be given a chance to return to power.”
