PDP Asks APC To Name Officials, Their Positions

. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to publish the names of its 35 interim officials and their designations.

Still smarting from the loss of some of its prominent members – including five governors and 37 House of Representatives members – to the APC, the ruling party appeared to have launched a divisive religious campaign against the opposition.

In a statement yesterday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP said: “It is shocking that the APC would attempt to hoodwink Nigerians even in the face of incontrovertible facts exposing its religious inclinations and plots to divide the nation along religious lines.

“The revelations by an Islamic cleric, Ambassador Yusuf Garba and the Religious Equity Promotion Council (REPC) that APC seeks to impose an agenda like the Egypt Muslim Brotherhood remains a fact that cannot be brushed aside.

“We decided to buttress an alert to Nigerians on the evil machination of the APC with every sense of duty to ensure that Nigeria remains united as one and not fall to the evil plot of the APC.”

The statement added that the ruling party was committed to the interest of Nigerians, irrespective of their religious, tribal, ethnic or regional affiliations.

The PDP said it would always expose and resist any attempt to balkanise the country.

The party urged Nigerians to ensure that the enemies of the nation were not allowed to have their way.
