PDP Chides APC With Crying Wolf On Billboards

By Ella Makondo

The  People’s Democratic Party ( PDP)  has dismissed allegations by the All Progressives Party ( APC) purporting that  the party and Edo  Government  destroyed billboards posted of the APC.

The party condemned in strong terms the destruction of the billboards stating clearly that PDP or the State Government have no hands in the destruction or damage to billboards.

In a statement issued on Sunday by the Edo State  Publicity Secretary of the party, Chris Nehikhare stated , they cannot be blackmailed or distracted by  baseless allegations  , saying Edo people were too politically sophisticated to fall for such a scam.

The statement described the allegations as  desperate attempt to change the narrative, maintaining that it was unsubstantial  aimed at distracting the both the party and the State Government from its activities.

It advised the  APC to look inwards as it was a  common knowledge that the party  was already  divided, populated by known thugs and brigands in the many factions that exist within it.

“Edo people have not forgotten how they resorted to bombing each others residences as they battled for their gubernatorial ticket. Edo people have not forgotten the treachery, blackmail, threats and counter threats employed to arrive at their predetermined candidate.

“We are indeed surprised that a party made up of characters that throw bombs at each other at will, shoot at their party members while they are holding meetings, exported to other states to rig elections and is lagging behind in an independent opinion poll it conducted itself would contemplate that PDP or its Government would pay attention to its posters or billboards without messages and want them destroyed or damaged.

“On the contrary! The quality of the messaging on their billboards exposes APC as empty and having nothing to offer or motivate Edo people.

“PDP and Edo State Government cannot be blackmailed or distracted by these baseless allegations and besides, Edo people are too political sophisticated to fall for this scam!

“We will concentrate on our agenda of Resetting Edo for a better and brighter tomorrow and not loose sleep over the rantings of a political ant the APC has become,” the statement concluded.
