PRESS RELEASE
The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the resort to crude, personal attacks by PDP spokesman Olisa Metuh in his latest statement is a clear vindication of the party's (APC's) stand that the PDP should urgently rebrand or go into extinction.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said with a combustible and out-of-control spokesman like Metuh, there is no way the PDP will survive in opposition.
''Metuh has shown, time and again, that he lacks the temperament, presence of mind, sobriety, analytical mind, decency in the use of language and panache needed for anyone to be the face of any organisation, not to talk of a political party.
''It was the realization of this obvious fact that made us to offer to provide the excitable Metuh a crash course on how to function as an opposition spokesman. Unfortunately, it is too late now as he seems to have become totally untrainable.
''Instead of reacting to our sincere advice to his party to urgently rebrand or go down, Metuh chose to unleash his vitriolic tongue on the APC spokesman, just as he has done to the judiciary and many agencies of government in recent times.
''In what is surely a looming tragedy for the PDP, a spokesman who helped write the party into opposition is now poised to further write it into extinction,'' it said.
APC insisted that the PDP should stop wailing and insulting the judiciary for the electoral tragedy which it brought upon itself by engaging in mindless rigging and violence in the last general elections.
''The doomed opposition should also immediately stop its failed strategy of trying to distract the Buhari Administration, which is busy cleaning up the mess left behind by the 16 years of locust of the sinking 'PDP,'' the party said

Lagos, Oct. 31st 2015.
Mr. Lai Mohammed, can I ask you just a few questions? Many of the people that played prominent roles in "the 16 years of locust of the sinking 'PDP" that you talked about in your statement, are they not the leading lights of the APC today? What evidence can you adduce to demonstrate that anything has changed about them to transform them from sinners to saints? I think you are grievously insulting Nigerians by these patently deceptive statements.
ReplyDeleteAPC is an assemblage of hypocrites. What exactly are your policies, and how exactly are you clearing the mess? Can you stop this your general statements and be a bit more specific Mr. Lai please?
ReplyDeleteAPC...can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time.
