PDP wants to return to steal in 2019 – APC

- By Muideen Olaniyi

Instead of apologisin­g for its gang rape of the nation, the PDP seeks to present itself before Nigerians in 2019 to seek a return to its stealing, Acting National Publicity Secretary of the ruling APC, Mr. Yekini Nabena, has said.

Nabena, in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday reacting to PDP’s allegation­s on President Buhari’s anti-corruption war, said the former ruling party’s corruption stench suffocated Nigerians.

While describing the allegation­s as empty, baseless and diversiona­ry, the APC said the PDP should understand that Nigerians could not forget how the country was destroyed by its “gang of pen robbers.

The APC, which assured Nigerians that the president held the “collective trust” sacred, said the war against graft was being won despite effort to discredit the ongoing anti-corruption effort. The party said no degree of blackmail and wicked scheming would make the country return to the years “the locusts” had eaten.

The party urged the president, law enforcemen­t agencies, anti-graft bodies and Nigerians not to be sidetracke­d by what it called the desperate and roguish attempt by the PDP and their agents to discredit the ongoing fight against corruption.

The party assured Nigerians that it would not fail the country like what it referred to as “PDP’s wasted 16 years.”
