The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will loot Nigeria’s treasury if the party ever has access to power again.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the council, in a recent statement issued by one of its spokespersons, Festus Keyamo, said the PDP and its officials should always hide their faces in shame.
Keyamo was reacting to a statement by the Spokesperson of the PDP’s Presidential Campaign Management Committee, Dino Melaye, who on Friday said the ruling APC is not ready for election or governance.
“Firstly, in the past few weeks, the PDP has entertained Nigerians with scandalous issues that show the party remains a clear and present danger or threat to Nigeria’s treasury and equity,” Keyamo’s statement reads in part.
“ In the last few days, the public space has been inundated with allegations made by no less a person than a prominent Governor of the PDP accusing its National Chairman of being patently corrupt and of collecting a bribe of N1 billion from one of its candidates.
“The governor even threatened to ‘reveal more’ if there was a denial. The Party Chairman, Ayu, is yet to deny or debunk this allegation for fear of being stripped totally bare in public. Is this the party that claims it is ready for governance and that Nigerians can trust? A party without any iota of shame?
“Instead of hiding his head in shame, the same Ayu went on a bribing spree, crediting the accounts of members of the NWC in a desperate and laughable attempt to hang on to office.
“Is this the party Nigerians can trust? Is this the party ready to govern Nigeria?”
