PDP Congratulates, Advises New APC Excos

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has advised the newly elected executives of the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to “ensure a vibrant opposition devoid of bitterness, desperation and divisive tendencies.”

The ruling party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Saturday, also congratulated the “new APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and other newly elected officers for their emergence at their party’s National Convention.”

Metuh further charged the new leaders to “ensure an issue based opposition that will  purposefully and constructively engage and challenge the PDP with decency and maturity as prescribed by  democratic tenets and principles.”

Stating further, the PDP asked the new APC leadership to “put the unity and welfare of Nigerians ahead of other considerations and jettison all divisive tendencies including unguarded statements that overheat the polity and pitch Nigerians against one another.”
