The Presidency has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for saying that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has turned the Presidential Villa into its headquarters.
At their meeting in Bauchi on Monday, PDP Governors accused APC of “parading” coerced PDP members who defected into the ruling party.
The Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina has chided the Governors for belly-aching over the misfortune of their party.
Speaking from the United Kingdom in a television interview, Adesina claimed some of the PDP Governors come to the Villa at night unannounced.
According to him, some PDP Governors have been talking with the APC leadership on plans to defect, saying that many of them will dump their party next year when President Buhari begins to inaugurate projects.
The Presidential spokesman said: “There will be a massive unveiling of infrastructure come 2022; starting from the commissioning of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway which the PDP could not achieve in 16 years, to the AKK Pipeline and so many highways. These massive projects will make a lot of PDP governors join the APC.”
He described PDP as a beleaguered party in total confusion.
“Between now and 2023, there will be more confusion in the party. No one made noise when they (PDP) were holding BoT (Board of Trustees) meetings during Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan regimes. Why are they complaining now?”
On insecurity, he said there were challenges in certain areas but that doesn’t mean good things have not been happening in the country.
He said: “These challenges are being tackled; just like many other countries are facing challenges. All the security challenges are being taken as a whole; we are also working on infrastructure massively and tackling insecurity massively.”
