Press Statement
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said Saturday's judgement
of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is the clearest
indication yet that the PDP has started harvesting what it sowed in its years
of impunity and recklessness, hence it should blame itself for whatever tragedy
has now befallen it...

In a
statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by
its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the PDP
has always been a party of anything goes, hence it is a matter of time for the
party to come to grief, first by tumbling from the pinnacle of power and now by
losing, incrementally, whatever remains of its crumbled empire.
It said the PDP was only trifling by attributing the judgement to a supposed manipulation from the Presidency.
''President Muhammadu Buhari as well as his party, the APC, are strong believers in the rule of law, as against the rule of impunity, hence will never manipulate the judiciary for whatever reason.
''The PDP is clearly aware of this, but has chosen to blame everyone but itself for the fate that has befallen it. The PDP should have known that it will pay for its years of impunity and recklessness. For this party, the chicken has now come home to roost,'' APC said.
