The All Progressives Congress has hit out at the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party after series of criticism and their supposed merger with over 37 other political parties and change of name, saying the are only looking for medicine after Death.
Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi who is the APC National Publicity Secretary, as reported by News Agency of Nigeria, said:
“After three years in the wilderness, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is understandably excited with the possibility of hiding its irredeemably bad image under the heap of a new coalition.
“Like the vulture, PDP sees every altercation as a potential opportunity for a feast.
“If PDP is not alleging wild conspiracies, they are threatening to boycott elections or announcing fake defections. What is clear with all these is that no matter how long a leopard lives, it cannot change its spots.
“What President Muhammadu Buhari and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of our Party are doing, persuading every aggrieved member not to leave the Party, is what responsible and sensible party leaders would do. Party politics is a game of number. And that game is an addition. If the PDP had the same presence of mind in 2015, perhaps the calamity that befell them would have been averted.
“We challenge the PDP to face Nigerians on their own merit in 2019 and stop shopping around for supporters”. He said.
