The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied that five of its governors are in talks with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
WITHIN NIGERIA, it was previously reported that the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, had stated that the five APC governors were discussing how to support Atiku in the 2023 presidential election.
According to Ologbondiyan, the five governors believe Atiku has a more credible platform and more experience managing Nigeria than their party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
However, in a swift response on Thursday, APC spokesman Felix Morka dismissed the opposition party’s claim, saying that the PDP should stop peddling falsehood.
Morka described the claim as wishful thinking in an interview with Leadership, indicating that the PDP lacks plans and a clear-cut strategy for the upcoming general election.
He claimed that the opposition party was grasping at straws due to a lack of an agenda and plans for the upcoming elections, and that the claim demonstrates extreme desperation and a complete lack of competitive confidence in the face of 2023.
He said;
That’s wishful thinking; you can see clearly that they don’t have any plans for the next elections. They have no plans, they have no strategy. The other day they filed a lawsuit and now they are talking about five APC governors.
So, clearly that is not an agenda for an election and it does not show a party that is serious about competing for power. They are just grabbing on straws, hoping that they can grab something that has a route but it’s just completely wishful. It’s not worth any reaction.
Again, that’s the PDP setting itself on a phantom and vain expedition. It is obvious the PDP is rightly convinced of its failed 2023 engagement. Trapped in the abyss of its internal contradictions and intractable crisis, the PDP has resorted to grabbing straws and scratching the sand in hope of success.
It betrays the extreme desperation and utter lack of competitive confidence to face 2023. To be clear, there shall be no political manna falling from the sky for the PDP. They should wake up from their inebriated slumber and smell the political coffee.
