'Exit Of APC Has Become Inevitable, Their Collapse Will Be Loud' - PDP Lashes Out At APC

Nigeria's main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lashed out at the country's ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) over alleged efforts by the later to create disaffection among their (PDP) members and "divert the attention of Nigerians from the colossal failure of its government". 

The PDP said that the APC, having failed to prevent them from having a successful National Convention, has also failed in its bid to sow seeds of discord within the ranks of the PDP in the South West over the outcome of the Party's just concluded national convention.

"The Southwest leaders who contested for the PDP National Chairmanship position are all men of quality and credibility; the fallout of the convention cannot; in ant way, diminish their standing as core nationalists and statesmen whose interest, particularly in the PDP, and the nation are not driven by personal or ethnic considerations.

"What essentially drives the individual and collective aspirations of Southwest leaders in the PDP remains in tandem with the vision of other leaders our party across the country, which is to rescue our dear nation from the directionless administration of the APC with its attendant economic hardship on Nigerians.

Today, many are leaving their ranks in droves. Very soon, their party will be empty and its collapse will be loud.
