APC Fires Back At PDP, Calls Metuh ‘Ethically-challenged’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of openly launching a counter-offensive against the anti-corruption campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari.

However, it stressed that the opposition party would fail in its attempt to take Nigerians back to Egypt.

Earlier today, the opposition party issued a statement, in which it accused Buhari of abuse of power and warned Nigerians that the “nation was on a quick slide into fascism and official terrorism”.

Reacting to the PDP’s press statement, Lai Mohammed, the APC’s national publicity secretary, said:

“Saturday’s press statement by the PDP is nothing but a thinly-veiled frontal assault on the relentless efforts of the Buhari’s administration to clean the Augean Stable of the last PDP federal government.

“With its statement that is nothing but an unabashed support for impunity and corruption, as well as its major actors, the PDP has now confirmed itself as the official ‘poster boy’ for corruption in Nigeria.”

The APC described the PDP’s statement as “the long-winding sophistry about the rule of law, democracy and personal freedoms”, which is aimed at couching the PDP’s abhorrence and disdain for the fight against corruption in democratic clichés.

Addressing the PDP’s national publicity secretary, the APC noted that “the allegations of corruption hanging on his own neck, from within his own party, is a clear indication that he is mortally afraid that the wind will soon blow hard enough to expose the fowl’s rump.”

The ruling party further stressed that neither the PDP nor its spokesman had the moral authority to condemn anyone, especially the president “who was working hard to rescue Nigeria from the abyss to which it has been plunged by the former ruling party”.

“For the PDP to brush aside the latest revelation that a government it sired could not account for $700 million from the Sovereign Wealth Fund, or the fact that the party could not account for billions of Naira in its own campaign funds, and then launch a frontal attack against a reformist government, is the height of shamelessness.

“For the ethically-challenged spokesman of the same morally-deficient party to continue to spew trash under the guise of opposition politics is totally provocative and absolutely unacceptable. Worse still, the lack of focus in the labyrinthine statements being issued by the opposition party has confirmed the prescience of the APC’s offer to the PDP’s spokesman to take a crash course on how to speak for the opposition,” the statement read.

Earlier this week, the Lagos state chapter of the APC accused the PDPof destroying the nation’s economy with its 16 years of criminal leadership. It also advised the opposition party to stop distracting President Buhari with their outlandish statements.
