APC campaign tackles PDP over claim of alleged plot to postpone 2023 elections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was chastised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council on Friday for raising an unfounded concern over the 2023 elections.

In a previous statement, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s national publicity secretary, accused the incumbent party of scheming to delay the polls with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The party insisted that the election dates stay sacred, claiming that the incumbent party and its administration were inept and corrupt.

Bayo Onanuga, the council’s director of media and publicity, however, accused the main opposition party of trying to sabotage the election in a statement.

He criticised the PDP’s presidential candidate and claimed that it was unprepared for the election  for leaving the country days before the poll.

Onanuga said: “Our attention has been drawn to the jumbled press statement given by the rudderless and very confused Peoples Democratic Party today. We have nothing but pity for a party that has become a mess and a total embarrassment to itself and its despondent members.

“APC noted that for lack of anything tangible to tell Nigerians six weeks to the general elections as its candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, disappeared from the campaign trail, PDP has resorted to making irresponsible statements just to fill media space.

“The latest is the false information that the Federal Government and INEC plan to postpone the general elections.

“Nigerians are advised to ignore this senseless conjecture from PDP as there is no iota of truth in the allegation.

“The electoral umpire has made it abundantly clear of its readiness to conduct the elections and these elections will hold as scheduled in February and March this year.

“Knowing that it has no path to victory and no real agenda for development to sell to Nigerians by its absentee presidential candidate, PDP has nothing profitable again to engage in other than raising false alarms, manufacturing outright lies, and disseminating innuendos to deceive the public.”
