Following the All Progressives Congress’ rejection of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro as a ministerial nominee due to his alleged involvement in an audio recording on Ekiti State governorship election, the Lagos state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the opposition party of behaving like a bad loser.

The PDP stated that calls for Obanikoro’s nomination to be disapproved, lacked merit because the authenticity of the audio recording was yet to be determined.

While speaking with journalists over the weekend, in Lagos, the PDP Secretary, Wahab Owokoniran said the former Minister of Defence, fully deserves his nomination by the President.

Wahab said: “All these claims are unfounded and the APC is only doing that to discredit the president’s nomination, which has the blessing of all members of the party in Lagos.”

“There has not been any protest to the nomination from the PDP or any non-political group in Lagos. The only group mounting opposition to the nomination is the APC, which is well understood, we don’t expect anything less.”

“We are talking here of a tape that has been doctored to reflect their negative opinion about an election they lost freely and fairly, but they are being bad losers.”
