The PDP which has welcomed
the registration of APC, saying it was not a threat to its dominance
of the nation’s political scene.
“The registration of the new
party poses no threat to the PDP. The ruling party still maintains its
preeminent position and enjoys the widest popularity and acceptance among
Nigerians across the country,” its Acting National Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Tony Okeke, said in a statement.
The PDP added, “With the
registration of the APC, Nigerians now expect the leaders of the opposition
party to eschew all forms of bitterness and desperation and desist from
politics of propaganda which characterised their former parties.”
According to the PDP, Nigerians would
like to see a “vibrant opposition” that would be
constructively engaged in issues of governance instead of
overheating the polity.
