…Edo APC Doesn’t Exist In National Secretariat’s Eyes – PDP
…’ You’re Busybodies, Falsehood Peddlers’ – APC
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State on Tuesday exchanged verbal words over a recently released list by the APC National Secretariat described as ‘Contract/Strategy Committee’ wherein the PDP alleged that not a single member was included from the APC in Edo State.
The Contact/Strategy Committee was set up by the APC to help reach both members and intending members with a view to strategising for 2023.
Reacting to the APC’s Contract/Strategy Committee list, state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Chris Osa Nehikhare, said for excluding Edo members from the list means the National Secretariat does not recognise the Edo APC.

He noted that, “Their leaders as far as Abuja is concerned are political hustlers and boasters,” just he described the incident as “abysmal and catastrophic failure!”
He said, “You will notice that in that very long list, not one person that claims to be APC in Edo was considered worthy to serve on that Committee.
“Edo APC doesn’t exist in the eyes of the National Secretariat of the APC. Is it that its membership and brand here in Edo have been so decimated that they are now political orphans?
“Their leaders as far as Abuja is concerned are political hustlers and boasters.

“It is alleged that the National Secretariat of the APC reached this decision when they were presented with the report of their recently -concluded registration and validation exercise. It was an abysmal and catastrophic failure!”
But firing back at Nehikhare’s claim, Assistant Publicity Secretary of the APC in the state, Victor Ofure Osehobo, said the claim by the PDP that no member was included in Edo was false, just he described the party as “busybodies to spread falsehood.”
Osehobo noted that instead of the PDP to settle down and face the business of governance, the party is busy in infighting, lamented that the PDP infight has “fuelled its inability to put its house in order thus depriving Edo State a cabinet, and elected local government chairman and councillors for months now.
“But it is in the PDP character, even nationwide, as a party of busybodies to spread falsehood.

“It is therefore not a surprise because the lies are an attempt by a dying party to console itself for its failures which are legendary and seek a semblance of relevance.
“Here is a party which won an election in Edo state but rather than settling down to the business of governance has been busy fighting.”
