APC to PDP: ‘Don’t distract Buhari with your childish conspiracy theories’

The All Progressives Congress has informed the Peoples Democratic Party that President Muhammadu Buhari would not be distracted by its childish conspiracy theories and wild claims.

PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh had released a statement on Saturday, claiming that the APC and the President were afraid of Sambo Dasuki’s chances of being President in 2019, hence the corruption charges aganst him.

The ruling party was also accused of going after high profile members of the PDP in order to destroy the opposition before the next general elections.

Reacting to the PDP’s statement, National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun released a statement through the party’s Assistant Director (Publicity), Edegbe Odewinge, in Abuja.

“Whoever the PDP picks as its candidate for the 2019 presidential election is not the business of the APC. Relevant laws in the country clearly spell out requirements for persons seeking election into all political office. The preoccupation of the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari is to deliver on all the promises made to Nigerians by the party during the 2015 election.”

“Looking back at the last seven months, there are clear indicators showing that the APC and the President Buhari administration is on the right track to delivering on its change agenda.”

“Clearly such abuse of presidential directives was a concept invented and effectively deployed by the PDP during its defunct 16-year rule. The APC is a law-abiding party and cannot adopt such diabolical concept. The APC believes strongly in the rule of law, as against the kind of impunity Nigeria witnessed under the PDP for 16 years.”

Odigie-Oyegun assured Nigerians that the conspiracy theories of the PDP would not distract the current administration, law enforcement and anti-graft agencies from proesucting the ongoing war against corruption.

He added that the campaign to tackle and curb corruption was not selective, adding that anybody guilty of corrupt practices would face the law.
