Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC of acting like “a bunch of busy bodies”.
Atiku said this in a statement by his media adviser, Paul Ibe replying to APC Presidential campaign which claimed that the PDP candidate’s presidential ambition was dead following crisis in the party.
The PDP candidate also said APC Council’s statement on crisis “within the PDP comes across as a laughable work of an interloper.”
Atiku’s statement said in full: “Reading through a disingenuous press release by the APC Presidential Campaign Council on issues pertaining to developments within the PDP comes across as a laughable work of an interloper.
The release is disingenuous because it lacks any merit of a reasonable, intellectual riposte. Rather, it exposes the APC and its presidential candidate as a bunch of busy bodies who, rather than focus on the burden of credibility that continues to dog their campaign, are poking their nose into minor internal issues of the PDP.
Well, since the APC Presidential Campaign Organization seems to have woken up from their state of hibernation, it is good to remind them that there are pending questions about the social and educational history of their candidate that Nigerians want answers to.
We shall be kind enough to remind the APC that when, in the next few days, campaigns begin in earnest, Nigerians will require answers to some weighty character questions about their candidate and, rather than expend precious time on what is never their business, should use the remaining few days judiciously.
Secondly, whatever is happening in the PDP is a conversation among leaders of the party and that, in itself, is a reflection of the PDP, as a living and engaging political party. The conversation in the PDP is all about consensus building, which in itself is a major ingredient for peace and unity.
