The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday accused the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) of threatening democracy in the country by its propaganda of lies and deceit.
In the wake of the FCT council polls won by PDP, its spokesman, Oliseh Metuh, said the ACN will continue chasing shadows “with their incompetent approach to politics including making mountains of a mere name registration, while we (PDP) continue to win the hearts and minds of the voting public. Nigerians are not fools”.
He continued “Our attention has been drawn to inciting and unpatriotic statements by the ACN, seeking as usual, to heat up the polity and put Nigerians at loggerheads with one another, all in the desperate lust for power for selfish reasons.
“In fact, the ACN has shown that it is the real threat to Nigerian democracy and they are unyielding in their plot to truncate the system with propaganda, lies and media deceit because they have been rejected by Nigerians.
“Nigerians have since realized their evil desires and have continued to answer them with overwhelming support for the PDP in elections, the recent being the FCT elections where PDP won five out of the six area councils with the ACN getting none.
“ACN spokesman, Lai Mohammed should be bold enough to tell Nigerians the relationship between his party and the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu. We await his kind explanation in this regard.”
