2019: PDP hallucinating on defections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been lampooned for claiming that six governors and 27 National Assembly members of the All Progressives Congress (APC)were set to defect from the ruling Party to its fold.

Making this lampoon of the main opposition party, on Thursday, was the APC, which said in a statement signed by his Acting National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena that the PDP, by such claim, was doing no more than hallucinating.

The statement said in details that, “With the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claim that six All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors and twenty-seven National Assembly members have ‘concluded discussions’ to join the PDP, it is now clear that the PDP has assumed the role of comic relief ahead of the 2019 General Elections.

“Nigerians have rejected the PDP and all that it represents – corruption, impunity, waste, greed. Hence, in the face of imminent 2019 defeat, the PDP has chosen to hide behind lies and false realities to save face.

“While the PDP hallucinates on APC members’ defection to the PDP, the APC is consolidating to go into the 2019 General Elections as a smarter, more united and stronger political fighting force.

“While the PDP wallows it its cooked up tales on the state of the nation, the President Muhammadu Buhari administration-led APC administration is focused on bettering the lives of Nigerians, addressing infrastructure needs, revamping the economy, restoring our rank in the comity of progressive nations, confronting the challenges we face as a nation and generally repositioning the country in line with the Change Agenda promised Nigerians.”
