PDP berates APC for Refusal of NASS Election Results
Opeyemi Oladunjoye
The Peoples Democratic Party has berated the All Progressives Congress for the ruling party’s refusal to acknowledge the new leaders of the National Assembly.
The PDP went ahead to accuse the APC of being naïve, inexperienced and unprepared to rule Nigeria, while also advising the party to learn some humility and organisational skills for better governance.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Wednesday said: “Nothing can be more astonishing than the whining by the APC that the PDP at the last minute expressed its preference for Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively after it had earlier stated that it was not interested the positions.
“This calls to question the capacity, experience and skills of APC leaders on political matters and we have no apology whatsoever for their naivete.
“The APC is merely suffering the consequences of the greed, lust for power and inordinate ambitions of their leaders. They should note that Nigerians have since moved ahead with the new leaders in the National Assembly and stop wasting their energy on propaganda and blackmails to heat up the polity.
“Indeed, APC’s disdain for democratic norms, the rule of law and the sanctity of the legislature, coupled with its excessive thirst for power portends grave threat to our survival as a nation and calls for serious concern among Nigerians and all lovers of democracy and freedom world over.”
