The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has called on the South-West delegates who staged a walk-out during the just concluded Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Convention, to join the ruling party.
Recall, that Uche Secondus was controversially elected at Saturday’s Convention of the party as National Chairman, amid allegations of vote buying and ballot rigging.
At least one Chairmanship candidate, Tunde Adeniran, has called for the cancellation of the election, as some threatened to defect with their supporters.
In a reaction however, the APC in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Sunday, said that corruption is indeed deeply rooted in PDP’s DNA.
The statement read in part:
In reacting to revelations of how money-for-votes and systematic rigging was brazenly perpetuated during the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Congress (APC) is mindful of the popular axiom: “A leopard cannot change its spot”.
The abnormalities that trailed the PDP National Convention, have further exposed the PDP as a Party not ready and willing to change. Indeed, the PDP has once again displayed itself to the generality of Nigerians, that it is a Party with corruption deeply rooted in its DNA.
Again, it is tragic that the PDP which used to pride itself as “the biggest political Party in Africa”, has now been reduced to a regional party. By frustrating South-West Chairmanship candidates, it is unfortunate that the PDP has decided to punish the South-West for not voting for the Party in 2015.
We urge members of the PDP that can pass the integrity test to join the APC’s team, so that we can together bring about the much-needed Change the country deserves.
