The PDP is excited by the defection and castigation of APC by ex-minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and has described the former minister’s claims on the APC as a vindication of its position that the opposition party is made up of ethnic and religious bigots.
The party further boasted that other “reasonable and respectable Nigerians” still in the APC will soon join PDP as “they have now discovered that the agenda of the APC is to promote violence and the personal agenda of a few unpatriotic individuals.”
Fani-Kayode, had in a statement on Tuesday announced his defection from APC back to the PDP.
Reacting to the declaration by Fani-Kayode, PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement said “The revelation by the former minister that the APC has sympathy for insurgents further confirms PDP’s earlier position linking APC’s utterances to the spate of insurgency and sectarian violence in the country.
“We have now been vindicated. The truth may be hidden for sometime but it has a way of expressing itself. The world can now see that we do not speak for nothing when we describe them in their true nature; a cult, a hypocritical lot, wolves in sheep skin, devils who, through their utterances, stoke the fire of violence by night only to wear messianic robes in the morning to shed crocodile tears for their victims.”
“Nigerians are no longer at loss regarding who their real enemies are. They can now see why the APC feels no pain but seeks always to gain political capital out of the bombings and killings in our country. Having realized that they have been rejected by the people, they resorted to using dastardly means including promoting violence and falsehood to further their plot to destabilize the polity, balkanize the nation and truncate the democratic process, a scheme which has already failed”, the statement said.
The APC however said they would react to PDP and Fani-Kayode's deceit agenda appropriately.
