Stalwarts of the PDP and those of the yet-to-be-registered All Progressives Congress, APC again were at each other’s throats on Wednesday with the PDP saying the APC is being run like a cult.
“Most of the people in APC now are original members of the PDP and I can assure you that we have commenced talks to bring them back to where they originally belonged, which is the PDP.
“They are coming back, because some of them have told me that their aspirations may not be met in the APC because of the burning ambitions of some individual members. They don’t want a party that is being run like a cult.”
Those were the words of the National Chairman of the PDP, Bamangar Tukur, in a chat with journalists.
In his reaction, a spokesman for one of the parties promoting the APC, Rotimi Fashakin, however called the PDP “an empire of lies.” He said the ruling party is filled with faulty characters.
“When people leave the PDP it is difficult to go back. If a former Vice-President left the PDP and since his return it has been a struggle to win even his ward, you know which party is run like a cult. Is it APC that is yet to be a party or the PDP?” Fashakin asked.
