The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) is rattled by the recent visit of some of its governors to
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr. Yekini Nabena, the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary,
disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja while reacting to PDP’s
criticism of the development.
He, however, advised the PDP to focus on picking itself up instead of
dwelling on frivolities.
“The PDP is obviously rattled and disoriented by the recent courtesy
visit by some governors of the APC to former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
“Chairman, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning
Committee (CECPC) and Gov. of Yobe, Mai Mala Buni led the APC
delegation.
“At a time when the PDP and its leadership are grappling with a crisis
of confidence, one would expect the failed opposition party to focus on
picking itself up,” Nabena said.
He added that as a party for all progressives, the APC on its part will
continue to consolidate on its national appeal and acceptance.
The PDP had, in an earlier statement by its National Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, criticised the APC governors for
visiting the former president.
According to the PDP, the visit to Jonathan by the APC governors is a
direct acceptance of the successes recorded by it in building a strong
nation with a virile economy.
The PDP said the visit is also a subtle step by APC governors into an
agreement that the PDP has the solution to the country’s challenges.
