2019: Thieves seeking votes – APC mocks PDP aspirants
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described aspirants on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as thieves.
The party urged Nigerians to return President Muhammadu Buhari next year to sustain the fight against corruption.
APC via its spokesman, Yekini Nabena, in a statement on Sunday, said it was aware “of a campaign of calumny against the anti-corruption efforts by the same opposition partisans and their proxies that ruined the country with their institutionalized corruption.”
“Sadly, these thieves have resurfaced to canvass votes of Nigerians for various elective positions, ostensibly to resume their stealing. Nigerians are neither gullible nor stupid.
“They have not forgotten the yoke they bore under the corrupt Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regimes and deserve no more of it.
“Public funds that could have improved the education, healthcare sectors and provided infrastructure to develop the economic and social life of Nigerians are sadly in the pockets of these thieves.
“While we alert Nigerians to the plot of some politicians to buy votes and deploy other illegal means to subvert the people’s will during coming elections, we urge relevant agencies to be proactively involved in tracking of election financing.
“The same people who criminally-diverted public monies to fund their political activities as brazenly displayed during past administrations must be prevented from doing same in the coming elections.”
