US Agency EXPOSES PDP’s LIES – APC
The United States AID agency (USAID) has contradicted the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, on the statement issued recently that USAID conducted a poll on Osun State Governorship Election slated for August 9, 2014 which positioned the PDP as favored to win.
The kangaroo “opinion poll” as described by All Progressives Congress, APC, as one of the desperate bid to create the impression that the PDP’s candidate is popular. In a swift reaction the claim was refuted yesterday by the Acting Public Affairs Officer of the US Consulate General, Lagos, Rhonda Watson who said that “No USAID poll was taken in Osun”.
According to USAID, Democracy and Governance Team, Abuja, the United States Agency categorically said, “None of USAID Peace and Democracy Governance Implementing Partners (P/DG IPs) support or plan to support any election related opinion polls in Osun.”
In a statement signed by Barr. Kunle Oyatomi, Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy for the APC in Osun State, he said “the PDP as a party and the leadership are shameless liars who will implicate anybody at all costs through their lying addiction,” The APC had contacted the USAID to provide it with a copy of the findings of the PDP alleged poll for verification, to which the agency responded that no such poll was conducted.
The APC therefore described the PDP in Osun as a band of liars who cannot be trusted with the finances of the state. According to APC, the greatest weapon of a thief is an incredible ability to lie without scruples. If such people as PDP liars have access to the state treasury, they will loot it empty.
“Liars and thieves cannot replace Rauf Aregbesola,” APC said adding that “the good people of Osun know that the PDP cannot win on August 9, because liars and looters form its core leadership.
