Founding chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osita Okechukwu, has claimed that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has boxed itself in an irretrievable tight corner, as the main opposition political party is yet to over the unending crisis that rocked it immediately after the presidential primaries.
Okechukwu, who is the Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), expressed concerns over the leaders of the opposition party passing buck and blaming APC for its crisis, rather than sitting down to address the various challenges confronting their party.
Simon Imobo’Tswam, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the PDP National Chairman, Iyocha Ayu, had cited posts purportedly credited to APC, insinuating that Ayu said that he cannot take on a man that cannot father a child and other unprintable innuendos.
Responding to questions during a chat with newsmen in Abuja on Sunday, Okechukwu, lambasted the PDP boss over the accusation that APC is sponsoring mischievous posts against him.
He also dismissed the insinuation that APC is fuelling the PDP crisis and urged Ayu to avoid buck-passing and blame game, stressing that doing so amounts to the transfer of misplaced aggression.
“Methinks that Ayu, being a social scientist is experienced enough to know that once covenant of national integration is breached, it unleashes antithesis of unimaginable proportion naturally on the culprits,” he said.
“The PDP national chairman should leave APC out of the confusion he plunged his party into when he deliberately betrayed the South and Governor Nyesom Wike by extension. Blame game and transfer of aggression are not the answer to Ayu’s Odd Consensus.”
Okechukwu explained that “It is the willing unpatriotic breach of the subsisting rotation of power from North to South convention by Ayu and his presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.”
