APC Links Osibanjo’s Troubles, Oshiomhole’s 2023 Campaign Posters To PDP

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP of seeking to sow seeds of confusion in the ruling party by spreading rumours of a divided presidency and through printing 2023 campaign posters of its chieftains.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu also chided the Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP of crying wolf over the unfolding developments in the Supreme Court adjudication of the presidential election petition.

“We have important issues of governance than to continue to respond to fallacies. How do you determine a crack? The vice president had been sent out to represent the president at an international event, after PDP saw a crack; the vice president presided over the FEC meeting just on Wednesday. Is that part of the PDP’s crack? Let us stop this joke. We know we have challenges in this country, let us face these challenges”, he said.

Noting that it was the PDP that was sowing the seed of confusion in the ruling party, he said:

“It is in the interest of the PDP to keep up that tempo of intemperate language because that is the only job they have to do for the next four years; to distract the APC. It is not in our interest to join issues with them because we are focused on governance”.

Also accusing the PDP of printing campaign posters of APC chieftains with the intent of sowing confusion in the ruling party, he said:

“We are not engaging in any other activity about 2023 elections and wherever you see such (posters) you can be sure it is from mischief makers and of course we know it is part of the strategy of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP to continue to take actions to cause distractions for the governing party from focusing on anything that is important to the people of Nigeria which is to deal with the challenges that we are all faced with; the challenges of governance, security, economy and corruption as well as other associated issues.

Responding to the allegation of the CUPP that the APC is seeking to coerce the Supreme Court to bend justice, he said:

“Ideally, we would not have responded to the so-called CUPP which is just an arm of PDP. Faced with the challenges that we currently have in this country, it is a complete waste of time to respond to charlatans.

“But if you listened to the contents of the press conference they recently had, they said things that are very baffling and very disturbing and you may wish to ask yourself if these people are true Nigerians and if they mean well for the country. Because when you disparage state institutions and you talk down and try to undermine an important institution such as the Judiciary, that is something that we should all be worried about and that is why we are responding to this.

“It is not in our practice to arm-twist any institution whatsoever, least of them the Judiciary. We understand the importance of this arm of government; we understand that we are all surviving and living on the rule of law, and the only way to undermine the order and security of a nation is to undermine the Judiciary.”
