The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the statement by the embattled national chairman of the opposition People’s Democratic party ( PDP) allegedly linking it to the statement on Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike as coming from a sinking party chairman who is looking for a scape goat
The APC therefore asked the National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to stop his wild search for scapegoats, but to blame himself for the mess he has found himself in due to the altercation between him and Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike.
APC stated in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, that the allegation by Ayu was unfounded, calling on him to face his battle and leave the APC out of it
“As he struggled to deny a statement credited to him that Governor Nyesom Wike could not father a child, the National Chairman of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, alleged, ridiculously, that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and ‘other mischievous people’ were planting such stories in the media and stoking the feud between him and the Rivers State Governor
“Understandably, Chairman Ayu is deep in quicksand and swinging wildly in search of third parties to blame for the internal combustion in the opposition party
“Unlike the party of Ayu, APC does not ‘plant stories’ and does not meddle in the internal affairs of other parties.
“That is an area of extreme and unrivaled competence of the PDP. In any event, the PDP is unravelling unstoppably and needs no help from the outside.
“Rather than distract himself in search of an illusory scapegoat, Ayu and stakeholders of his withering PDP should concentrate on finding an anchor to slow the Party’s rudderless drift.
“How can a party that has proved incapable of governing itself seek to govern a country as important as Nigeria?
“After 16 years of ruthless mis governance and crass failure to reform and reposition itself, quite frankly, the PDP stands morally disqualified from asking Nigerians for their votes in the next general election.
“On our part, we will remain focused in search of new and creative ways of improving the quality of life of our people, and working to convince them to renew our mandate again in 2023,” APC declared.
