According to THE NATION, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the crisis rocking the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has gone beyond reconciliation.
He said this at Banilux Event Place, Yaba, Lagos during the Eighth edition of Town Hall Meeting and Graduation of pioneer trainees under the Youth Empowerment and Skills Acquisition Scheme (YESAS).
“PDP has broken into pieces,” he declared, which drew a thunderous “amen!” from the large gathering.
He described two events that occurred on July 31 and August 31 this year, as turning points in the history of Nigeria.
He said the first date was the birth of the APC and the second date, exactly a month later was when 7 governors and other bigwig politicians staged a walk out from the PDP’s special convention to form the “New PDP”.
The August 31 saga according to him marked the end of PDP’s regime in Nigeria because it was the first in Nigerian history that seven governors and other party stalwarts would walk out on the President.
“The fight in PDP is ajatuka” (fight to the finish) he said, but warned that PDP would not go down without a fight.
“Already, the party has been accusing APC of being the finger behind the crisis. We are not unhappy that they are in crisis because we are not behind their crisis,” he said.
He also said the 2015 presidential election battle will be determined by votes from South West and named APC as the government in waiting, not an opposition party.
“PDP knows this and they will do everything to destabilize APC in the South West. Their strategy is to induce voters with money stolen from the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P),” he said, describing it as “SURE PIT.”
He said SURE-P is nothing but a way of saving money for PDP’s campaign in 2015.
