After being issued PDP tag read what happened to this APC gov

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to statement credited to James Faleke, the late Prince Abubakar Audu’s running mate in the November 21, 2015, that Governor Yahaya Bello is a member of the party.

Faleke had made this claim as he mounted the witness box on Monday, March 14, to testify in support of the petition he lodged before the Kogi state governorship election petition tribunal, sitting in Abuja. Subsequently, some members and leaders of his party, the APC, had adopted the claim.

However, in a reaction to this claim, the PDP in Kogi state has distanced itself from insinuations of a certain ‘working relationship’ with Governor Yahaya Bello, The Nation reports.

According to the opposition party,“the PDP tag” ascribed to the governor, by the APC, is strange and unacceptable.

PDP in a statement by Bode Ogunmola, its publicity secretary, dismissed as “absolutely false, totally presumptuous and comprehensively baseless”, the allegations that all 45 appointments so far made by Bello went to PDP members.

The former ruling party noted that “though the crisis and burden of identity plaguing the incumbent APC government in Kogi state is deserving of genuine public sympathy, the APC alone has the responsibility of bearing the burden of its disunity and disjointedness.”

According to the statement, “what amuses more is the claim that Yahaya Bello has returned power to the PDP through the appointment of PDP members. Nothing can be farther from the truth.”
