The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has refused to hang the official portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari at the party\u2019s national secretariat.<\/p>\n

The party said the All Progressives Congress ( APC ),\u00a0 did not hang the portrait of Jonthan in its offices before the former President was defeated in the March 28 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will never hang his portrait in this office, because President Buhari is not known to our party. He is not a leader of our party and therefore we will never put his portrait here. We are a political party, very partisan and therefore, we are not going to hide that,\u201d National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told the Punch on\u00a0 Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Before now, the party has always been hanging the portraits of all the Presidents at the party\u2019s reception area as well as the National Executive Committee and National Working Committee halls within the secretariat.<\/p>\n

“Can you find out if the APC had the portrait of former President Jonathan in their office before he was defeated? That is just it,\u201d he told our correspondent.<\/p>\n

When asked whether the party was taking its own pound of flesh, Metuh said no but that since Buhari \u201cis not a member of our party, we won\u2019t put his portrait here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, expressed shock at Metuh\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is ridiculous and we have no comment. Let Nigerians judge the PDP on this matter,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p>\n

He said the PDP spokesman had a shallow understanding of the concept of opposition politics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
