The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday said it does not owe the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) any explanation over the composition of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.
The assertion was in reaction to the comment of Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP sokesman that there is infighting among APC leaders because of appointments and “booty sharing”.
In a statement on Sunday, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, who accused the PDP of engaging in“idle talk,” also stated that it is taking too long for the PDP to learn how to play politics as an opposition party.
“Judging by the latest antics and laughable allegations of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), it is now clear that the rejected party has again resumed its idle chatter and specious remarks. How long will it take PDP to learn proper opposition politics?” the statement queried.
The statement continued, “PDP’s allegation of ‘infighting’ within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the presidency over appointments is the latest of shameful interventions of PDP in our nation’s affairs. The party that was sent into a state of shock following the outcome of the National Assembly election is now accusing APC of infighting.
“The accusation is coming from the PDP that failed to rally its members to support its own candidates for principal offices at the National Assembly. Perhaps, to the delusional PDP, it is a sign of division within our rank to successfully mobilize our members behind our candidates for the National Assembly election.
“While the APC does not owe the PDP any explanation on the modalities for appointments, we assure Nigerians that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration would always appoint deserving individuals who share our progressive ideals and Change Agenda into positions.”
