The All Progressives Congress
(APC) says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is dead.
Yekini Nabena, acting spokesman
of APC, said this in a statement on Sunday while reacting to a statement by
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state.
Wike had alleged that President
Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party have planted agents in the PDP.
The governor said he knows some
PDP presidential aspirants who are being sponsored by the APC.
But Nabena challenged Wike to
name those who are being sponsored by his party.
The spokesman said instead of
putting his order, Wike “and his PDP cohorts are clutching on straws it is
desperate bid to remain in public reckoning in the face of imminent 2019
defeat”.
“In reacting to the allegations
by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike that the APC has sponsored some PDP
presidential aspirants, it is understandable that the PDP in its despair over
its failed 2019 election bid for the presidency has resorted to comical
conspiracies,” the statement read.
“Meanwhile, we challenge governor
Wike to be brave enough and name the APC-sponsored aspirants among the crowd
that have signified interest to run for the presidency under the PDP.
“We urge the PDP to quickly wake
up to the reality that the 2019 presidential elections have been won and lost.
“The PDP is a dead party and we
urge its members who share our progressive ideals to leave the sinking and
rudderless ship and come over to the APC which is rebuilding and repositioning
the country in all facets.”
