The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has declared that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in the state would be wholly defeated whenever local government council election is conducted in Kwara State.
In a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, the party said the monumental corruption perpetrated during the immediate past PDP-led government is unequalled in the history of Nigeria.
Buhari said in the statement: “Having noted the wish and hallucination of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party as regards the next local government council election in Kwara State, It must be expressly stated that if council election holds Tomorrow; the APC will triumph and the PDP is bound to suffer the same fate it thoroughly suffered during the 2015 general elections.
“Infact, the present state of Kwara PDP has become severely pathetic. The party is daily-bleeding and more disorganised than ever. As a matter of fact, after the 2015 general election, many credible leaders of the party have formally dissociated themselves from its activities while many more PDP leaders have found refuge in our party, the APC.
“Instead of taking the honorable step of joining hands with the Governor AbdulFatah Ahmed-led government to address the harsh effects of PDP’s massive looting and mismanagement of national resources, the party chose to infest the airwaves with childish propaganda by making hallucinations on council elections. The PDP should stop being emotional with its childish propaganda.
“Perhaps, the PDP should be reminded of the level of damage it perpetrated in this country. In the face of severe attacks and killings of Nigerians and our military men by Boko Haram elements, who could have imagined that any public official would divert funds meant for arms to private pockets? It happened during the PDP era. Under the leadership of the same PDP, returned looted funds from past government were re-looted by top PDP leaders. The monumental corruption perpetrated during the PDP era is unequalled in the history of Nigeria.
“Finally, the factors that led to the dismal outing of Kwara PDP in the last general elections are still constant. No nature of rebranding can save it from self-induced trauma. The identity of the party is as defective as the characters of its leaders. For the people of Kwara State, PDP has been dumped into the basket of infamy.”
