‎Nigeria’s ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied the allegation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that the Director-General of the Department of State Security, DSS, Lawal Daura, is a card-carrying member of the party (APC), says the accusation is absurd and frivolous.

The party stated this in a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed.

According to the statement, the party asked PDP to publish any evidence it may have to confirm the allegation, adding that “After all, it is trite that he who alleges must prove.”

“In the absence of that, the PDP must call another press conference to publicly apologize to all Nigerians for engaging in barefaced lies.‎

“We know that the psyche of the PDP has been badly affected by its loss of power at the centre. Even the party itself has admitted that much.

“That situation has now been compounded by the fact that the party is broke. It is therefore not a surprise that it is no longer able to think straight. The reality of its new situation is just beginning to dawn on it.‎

“But we warned the PDP early on that being in opposition is not a walk in the park. We warned that while the party was used to eating its bread with butter on both sides, it will now be lucky to even have ‎bread to eat,” the party said and warned PDP to spend more time in patching its tattered and battered umbrella than acting as a cog in the wheel of progress of the new Administration.
