The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is constituting a nuisance by continuously issuing hot-air statements to the press.

The APC said this in response to the PDP saying that the government led by President Muhammadu Buhari has found no direction since it assumed office on May 29, 2015.

The ruling party also accused the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh of issuing convoluted and fustian statements just so that he can be in the news.

This was contained in a statement released by Metuh’s APC counterpart, Lai Mohammed on Sunday, July 26.

It reads:

“Today’s statement is the most tortuous yet by the PDP and, honestly, sounds more like a compendium of beer parlour gossips and side talks than a serious criticism of a sitting government.”

“To be in opposition does not mean you have to constitute yourself to a nuisance by rushing to the press with all sorts of hot air statements. It is the quality, rather than the frequency, of your interventions that makes you relevant as an opposition in a democracy.”

“We can only say that we have been justified, and indeed prescient, in our earlier offer to organize a crash course for Olisa Metuh so that he can more effectively perform his role as the spokesman of the main opposition party.”

“Those who thought we were joking with that offer can now see that indeed, Mr. Metuh is seriously in need of some form of coaching on his new role.”

“President Buhari is working hard every day in the priority areas of tackling security and corruption, rebooting the economy to provide jobs for our teeming youths and generally to restore good governance.”

“We are sorry for those who are too blind with hatred to see this. We know that the PDP is terrified by the expose of how the Federal Government it led has looted the treasury and created an environment for impunity to thrive, as well as the fate that will befall those who were part of the show of shame and disgust.”

“But we assure Nigerians that this government will not interfere with the work of the security and anti-corruption agencies, and also that under the Buhari Administration, only the guilty needs to be afraid.”

“In the meantime, no amount of mumbo jumbo from the PDP will stop the Buhari Administration from its tough but inevitable task of restoring Nigeria’s lost glory.”

The PDP had also said that Buhari’s recent trip to the US was a waste.
