The APC also added that the recent PDP Governors’ Forum showed that the ruling party had run out of ideas.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that recent utterances made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have shown that the ruling party has already accepted defeat.

“What has come out clearly in the media interaction between the PDP and the media yesterday (Tuesday) is desperation, despondency and dejection on the part of the PDP,” APC National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed told Vanguard.

“When you have an interaction with a gathering like PDP governors, you expect something much more elevating. You see, they lost a beautiful opportunity to even sell their party. When they concentrated on attacking an individual, people went away with the impression that they have run out of ideas, and they have run out of issues,” he added.

“So, that is why you find that if you took a poll yesterday and a poll today on the popularity of PDP you will find out that it sank lower especially against the fact that this man who they have been attacking almost daily has never uttered a word in retaliation because what they are attacking is the integrity of this man, but his integrity is unassailable,” Mohammed said.

“I think Nigerians have now got to the point of asking PDP: do you have anything in stock for us? Why don’t you advertise your own wares? Honestly, I looked at PDP yesterday and was very sorry for them. From what happened yesterday, PDP has already accepted defeat because they are saying already that Buhari will not have two terms, that he would have one term. Why should that become the concern of the ruling party? They are already behaving like the opposition party,” he added.

Mohammed also urged the PDP to stop spending time and money trying to malign Buhari and focus on its campaign.
