The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Lagos State has slammed the All Progressives Congress, APC saying that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is no match for any of the guber aspirants in its fold.
The PDP described the APC’s reaction as a measure of the desperation and frailties in the ruling party even as it chastised the APC for failing to discern between the official assertions of the PDP and that of individual members of the party.
In a reaction articulated by Lagos PDP spokesman, Ademola Oyede, the PDP said:
“We read with dismay, a press statement credited to Lagos APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, wherein he reacted to an interview by the former publicity secretary of PDP, Ganiyu Taofik, calling on Governor Sanwoolu to join the PDP.
“One would wonder what partnership exist between the Lagos APC and the former Publicity Secretary of the Lagos PDP, Mr. Gani Taofeek who no longer speak for the Party, as it has recently becomes a trend for Lagos APC to consider personal opinion of an individual to mean the position of the Party.
“It’s important to reiterate here that PDP is a structured political party and not a property of an individual like the Lagos APC.
“We made bold to say that we have uncovered plans by the Lagos APC and their cohorts within the PDP to push their damaged Governor who can’t even win a pooling unit in the next election, thinking we are going to jump on him being a sitting Governor.
“Currently, Lagos PDP parades young and vibrant Aspirants whose popularities have consumed that of their push around Governor and his godfather put together,” the Lagos PDP spokesman said in asserting that Sanwo-Olu is no match for any of its potential aspirants.
“We are very sure in the know of all attempts by Lagos APC to keep distabilizing the PDP as usual, but this time,their game is up.
“For the record, Gani Taofeek is no longer the spokesperson of Lagos PDP, and whatever he might have said during his interview should be considered his personal opinion.
“Many would see the response of the APC spokesperson as a reflection of a party that’s totally In disarray, if not who takes an opinion of any party member as that of the party.”
