PDP To ACN: The Barking Of 20 Dogs Can Never Scare An Elephant.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has
asked the All Progressives Congress, APC,
to be more concerned with the ‘quarrels’
among its leading members, rather than
throw jibes at the ruling party.
The PDP’s statement on Monday was a
response to the claim by the opposition
Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, a
member of the APC, that the ruling party
was jittery of its merger.
The PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, said
in a statement that “our attention has
been drawn to a statement sponsored by
opposition Action Congress of Nigeria,
ACN in which it once again engaged in
vicious attack on the PDP.”
Mr. Metuh said the ACN statement is a
mere cover-up for the divisions,
quarreling and dissensions that marred
their Monday meeting in Abuja.
“Instead of unnecessarily attacking the
PDP, the ACN and its co-traveller, the
Congress for Progressive Change, CPC
should be bold enough to tell Nigerians
the outcome of their meeting where their
members were sharply divided over
comments by their leader, General
Muhammadu Buhari, condemning the
decision by the Federal Government to
root out insurgency in the country and
describing it as an attack on the north,”
the statement said.
PDP allege that many APC members have
now realized that they are in the wrong
boat “captained by insensitive religious
and tribal bigots”.
According to the statement, what
happened at APC’s meeting “vindicate the
PDP which has continued to caution
Nigerians against being deceived by
wolves parading themselves as saviors”.
“In any case, it is clear that the opposition
parties have nothing to offer. The barking
of 20 dogs can never scare an elephant.
These frustrated tribal cum religious
associations can never be equated to a
national party,” the PDP said.
