The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has replied the All Progressives Congress (APC) over a recent meeting in Dubai involving some of its members and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

A statement by the party’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said, “APC is panicking over our strategy meetings because it did not only fail to deliver on the promises it made in the past but is also completely bereft of ideas required to solve the problems it caused, even as it knows that it cannot drive our country in this 21st century”.

The party claimed that since the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate, the Presidency and the APC have abandoned governance for a smear campaign and now fret over the strategy meetings because “they know that the outcome will dismount their incompetent, deceitful and disconnected administration.”

“APC has become so disoriented that it is now issuing statements about the venue of our meetings which does not offend any section of our laws, and for which it has now rented itself to lies and spurious allegations?” the party queried.

“If President Buhari and the APC had sat down to draw up strategies for governance, our nation would not be facing the economic, social and
security woes that have brought her to its knees in the last three and half years.”

“The PDP and our Presidential candidate will therefore not allow the APC to distract us from our partnership with Nigerians in the all-important mission to win the 2019 elections”, the statement added.
