Some online media platforms (Not Trend Perch) reported bright and early yesterday that the All Progressive Congress had accused the Peoples Democratic Party of bribing Senators to return to the party with millions of dollars.
Well, the PDP says it is a lie. Simple.
But that’s not all they said. They said it was a lie from “a sinking party.”
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party said the actions and statements of the APC were aimed at destroying Nigeria.
He said, “Though this is a preposterous and cheap thesis by the APC to explain away the collapsing fraud upon which its membership is built, it is nonetheless a vicious attack on the citadel of democracy and we call on the leadership and members of the National Assembly not to view the allegation as a mere political statement.
“We urge the National Assembly to insist that the APC withdraws the allegation and apologise to the legislature and the entire nation.
“The truth is that the APC has reached its peak. Diminishing returns has set in and the party can only go down further.”
The APC however says it stands by its statement.
In a telephone interview Lai Mohammed said, “We stand by our story. This is not the first time they (PDP) are inducing legislators in order to compromise them. And we know this will not be the last time.”
