APC urges PDP members to join the winning party

The All Progressives Congress (APC ) has called on PDP members to join the ruling party, if they can pass the integrity test” to join it.

This was said following the outcome of the Peoples Democratic Party’s national convention that held in Abuja on Saturday, APC likened the opposition party to the leopard, which, it says, cannot change its spots.

It was the APC’s first official reaction to the national convention of the opposition party which has vowed to defeat it in the next general election.

APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi said: “With rrevelations of how money-for-votes and systematic rigging was brazenly perpetuated during the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party, the All Progressives Congress is mindful of the popular axiom, ‘A leopard cannot change its spot.’”

The APC said the “abnormalities” that trailed the PDP National Convention have further exposed the PDP as “a party that is not ready or willing to change.”

“Indeed, the PDP has, once again, displayed itself to the generality of Nigerians that it is a party with corruption deeply rooted in its DNA.

“Again, it is tragic that the PDP which used to pride itself as the biggest political party in Africa has now been reduced to a regional party.

“By frustrating (its) South West chairmanship candidates, it is unfortunate that the PDP has decided to punish the South West for not voting for the party in 2015.

“We urge members of the PDP that can pass the integrity test to join the APC so that we can, together, bring about the much-needed change the country deserves”.
