APC Is The 'Waste Basket' For PDP's Expired Substances - PDP - Politics - dhabworld

The Peoples Democratic Party has described the All Progressives Congress as a “waste basket.”

Reacting to the primaries recently conducted by the APC ahead of the 2015 general elections, the ruling PDP stated that the majority of the candidates who have emerged on the platform of the opposition party were “expired substances.”

Writing on its Facebook page, the PDP particularly took on the embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, and a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.

The party described Tambuwal and El-Rufai, who defected from the PDP to the APC and recently won the latter’s tickets for the governorship elections in Sokoto and Kaduna States, respectively, as politicians who re-emerged from its “dump site.”

It also named Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Katsina State APC governorship candidate, Aminu Bello-Masari, as those emanating from the PDP “waste basket.”

“The All Progressives Congress is PDP’s waste basket. Many candidates who so far emerged from their (APC) primaries are either expired substances or spent quantity dumped by our great party.

“Besides, three out of the four APC presidential candidates were PDP members while over one third of the APC candidates for the National and State Assembly emerged from PDP dump site,” the PDP stated.

But Tambuwal has said that he would not join issues with the PDP or key presidential aides, no matter the level of provocation.

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Imam Imam, Tambuwal stated on Twitter that only individuals who lack basic home training and manners would engage in heated exchange of “insults” in the public domain.

“The training we got at home won’t allow us to insult others,” he stated.

The Speaker, however, advised the PDP to learn some lessons from the way the APC and its members nationwide had so far conducted themselves during the party’s primaries (still ongoing).

Noting that the difference between the APC and the PDP was clear, the head of the lower chamber of the National Assembly was clearly confident that he would win the governorship election.
