The All Progressives
Congress (APC) has accused the PDP of unprecedented desperation, by attempting
to woo back with mouth watering dollars, some federal lawmakers who have defected
to the APC. Interim National Publicity Secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
berated the PDP move as carrying political horse trading too far. According to
Mohammed, in a statement issued Tuesday evening, the PDP has rolled out a
mouth-watering enticement package that promises 2 million US dollars to each
Senator who returns to the PDP; 1 million US dollars to each member of the
House of Representatives, and 10 million dollars to each leader who abandons
the APC for PDP. It said the price tag for the federal legislators from Rivers
State is even higher, at 5 million dollars each. But the APC said there is no
cause for alarm, as no amount of inducements will stop the change that is in
the horizon, because the long-suffering people of Nigeria are ready and eager
to vote out the PDP next year. The party said the five House of Representatives
members who have taken the PDP killer bait when they defected to the APC, were
neither forced to do so nor given any incentive beyond the rare opportunity
offered them to be a part of the looming change .It expressed the hope that the
double defectors will declare the blood money they have collected from the PDP
to those who voted them into office, and also pretend to be democratic by
sharing the money with them. Nigerians can now see why their country has gone
broke; why the allocation to states from the Federation Account has continued
to dwindle, and why infrastructures have either remained decrepit or
non-existent. It is not difficult to imagine the number of boreholes that 10
million dollars can sink, or how far such a huge amount will go in building
cottage hospitals and health clinicsThings are bound to get worse in the days
ahead because the desperate PDP will, more and more, use public funds to try to
change the course of history. We therefore urge Nigerians to remain resolute in
the face of what will be a wave of inducements never before seen in these
climes, because there is no going back on the plan to vote out the PDP next
year and save Nigeria from a rapacious and inept leadership,

Pls APC should show the Nigerian masses proof of this bribery or shut up with this their endless propaganda. We are getting sick of all these lies and half truths
ReplyDeleteIs a show of shame to see how those elected to represent us go around looting public fund indecriminately while those who voted them in are dieing of hunger.
DeletePDP, APC are the same set of people and we most look beyond these animals to get credible leader that will redirect the affairs of this nation, Nigeria.
Anonymous 8:31am,u are a fool 4 saying that.which evidence are u looking 4 again when 5 billions dollars was missing later it was 20 billions dollars not remited by NNPC nd even d monthly allocation has dropped by 40 percent nd now they are corrupting people around more nd more even men of God are not left out even d northern elders are not left out,how long will dis continue Nigeria is really getting worst wit dis kind of people in government
ReplyDeleteMy take is that APC should let us know who is their Presidentail candidate and also come up with their Ideology because in the last presidential election most Nigerians voted for Goodluck and not PDP. For me I can't see the different between PDP and APC because most of the PDP members are now in APC. And Raphael stop being rude to people because its not constitutional that u must like everyone's comment
