PDP Reacts To APC's Meeting With Jonathan, Says Nigeria Is Better With ‘Umbrella Party’

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the recent meeting held between former President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement released via its social media page, PDP said that the meeting shows that the administration of the former President succeeded while at the helm of affairs.

The party further held that the meeting was an indication that PDP is the solution to the problem brought upon the country by the ruling APC.

Further calling on Nigerians to be watchful of the antics of APC that have failed woefully while at the helm of affairs, the statement by PDP read:

"The @OfficialPDPNig  asserts that the visit by governors elected on the platform of the @OfficialAPCNg  to former President @GEJonathan has further affirmed that Nigeria, as a nation is better under the governance of the @OfficialPDPNig

"The visit, which is a clear endorsement of the acceptability of the PDP administration, also indicates that the @OfficialAPCNg, in 2015,  only created artificial symbols of misgovernance, corruption and other alleged misgivings just to discredit our party and grab the levers of power to achieve their selfish desires.

"It is evident that the @GEJonathan administration succeeded in office basically because our party understands the nuances of our nation, which we translated into people-oriented polices & programmes, in line with the manifesto of our party, to make life comfortable for Nigerians.

"This visit to @GEJonathan by the @OfficialAPCNg governors is a direct acceptance of the successes recorded by our party in building a strong nation with a virile economy that was rated as one of the fastest growing economies of the world.

"The visit is therefore a subtle step by @OfficialAPCNg  governors into the corridors of the @OfficialPDPNig in agreement that our party holds the solution to the myriads of problems brought to our nation by their APC and President Muhammadu Buhari.

"The @OfficialPDPNig  therefore receives the visit by APC governors as an apology by the @OfficialAPCNg to our party and Nigerians over the lies, beguilements and other irresponsible allegations deployed by the APC to grab power, only to lead our nation on a journey to nowhere.

"We therefore caution Nigerians to be watchful of the antics of the @OfficialAPCNg that have failed in governance and the management of its own affairs.

"For us in the@OfficialPDPNig, the unity, stability, progress and development of our dear nation remain paramount and as such, we will not allow the failed@OfficialAPCNg and its pranksters, who have betrayed the trust of Nigerians, to mislead them once again."

It will be recalled that AllNews had on Saturday reported that the leadership of APC met with former President Jonathan, who is a chieftain of the main opposition party, PDP.
