The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that it is using its members to draw political capital from it as funny, silly and unfounded allegation.

The governing APC pointedly said it has no hand whatsoever in the in-fighting and resultant implosion being witnessed in the PDP's hierarchy.

The party in a statement said perhaps the wind of Change has blown through the PDP camp and thereby enable many PDP members to realise the need to embrace and enforce change.

The APC statement which was signed by its National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni however said that PDP members who are genuinely inspired by the APC-led administration are welcome to the APC fold.

Buni said it is the right of the PDP members to abandon a sinking ship and join one that is smooth-sailing.

Buni further said; “The APC marvels how the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) continues to blame everyone but itself for its self-inflicted problems which has led to the sorry state the PDP finds itself.

“In monitored media reports, PDP's National Secretary, Wale Oladipo was quoted saying that some PDP members were being "used by the APC, to draw political capital from the present challenges facing our party [PDP].

“What could be funnier than such silly and unfounded allegation? The PDP now sounds like a broken record with its daily conspiracy theories blaming external forces and unseen hands for its electoral misfortunes, in-fighting and mind-boggling corruption charges and on-going probe of some PDP leaders and the immediate-past PDP-led administration.

“The question begging for answers is: Why does the PDP choose to grope in the dark while reality stares it in the face?

“Did the PDP not know that it will one day pay for the impunity, recklessness and shocking mis-management of the country's common wealth perpetuated under its watch for 16 years?”
