…Says Akande’s Outburst, Kwara Clash Expose Ruling Party
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the outburst by former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, has further confirmed revelations that the so-called APC membership revalidation and registration is a huge scam designed to allot fictitious figures and inflate the APC membership register.
A press release by the PDP and signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, stated as follows;
The PDP also mocks the APC on the free for all fight by desperate factions over control of allocated figures, at its phony membership revalidation exercise held at the Banquet Hall of the Kwara State Government House, Ilorin, which further exposes the exercise as a monumental swindle.
The PDP also lampoons APC leaders over the public apathy that has greeted the exercise, despite the deployment of huge financial resources, stating that such is a further confirmation that Nigerians have rejected the APC.
Nigerians are already aware that the purpose of the APC membership revalidation exercise is to produce inflated membership figures to assist the APC to allocated fictitious votes for itself in the 2023 elections; a scheme that is dead on arrival.
Moreover, no Nigerian would want to join a party of fraudsters, manipulators, political bandits and liars, which has ruined our country and expended its goodwill on the altar of violence, deception and insensitivity to the needs of the people.
The world watched the show of shame as APC members clashed in bloody brawl, assailing and inflicting injuries on one another with dangerous objects and destroying public property over control of list of fictitious members.
The PDP has only but pity for delusional APC leaders who are yet to come to terms with the fact that the APC as a party is already dead and that Nigerians cannot be swayed by a fake membership revalidation and a conjured membership figure.
Our party therefore commends Chief Akande for his courage in speaking out on the shenanigans in the APC, including the antics of the illegal national caretaker committee adding that its meddling with the party’s membership register further confirms revelations of the fraud inherent in the exercise.
We also note Chief Akande’s declaration on the waste of resources in the scandalous exercise, which further shows APC’s insensitivity to the plight of sufferings Nigerians.
This is more so as there are allegations that the APC is financing the revalidation exercise with funds meant for provision of very important COVID-19 essentials to Nigerians.
The PDP however counsels Chief Akande and a few well-meaning Nigerians still trapped in the APC, not to continue to waste their energy and goodwill on a dead and rejected party.
Our party therefore urges Nigerians to continue to disregard the APC and remain steadfast in rallying on the PDP’s platform in the collective effort to rescue our nation from the misrule of the APC.
