Posted by: Folamidavid in News, Politics Jan 3, 2020

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has told the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC), Adams Oshiomhole to desist from pushing his party’s 3rd term narrative in public.

PDP also warned the ex Edo state governor to stay away from heading to the Presidential villa to force his wish because it will not save him from the looming suspension or prosecution over allegations of corruption and mismanagement of Edo state resources while he was governor.

The party revealed this in a statement issued late on Thursday night by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.

He added that Nigerians are tired of APC and are already looking forward to replacing them in 2023.

His words, “Mr Oshiomhole should stop sounding like a broken brass in his attempt to launder a failed merchandise.

“Of course, Nigerians need not be reminded, of the exit date of an administration that has caused them so much pains, abused our law, trampled on their rights and undermined our electoral process.

“It would interest Oshiomhole to know that if anything, Nigerians are already counting days for May 29, 2023, when the APC and the Buhari administration will be consigned to the dustbin of history.

“Oshiomhole should, therefore, accept the fact that Nigerians have moved ahead towards 2023 and that the APC is not in their equation.”
