Constitution Amendment: PDP Lambasts APC

The Peoples’ Democartic Party (PDP) has taken a swipe at the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) following the party’s amendment of its constitution.
The national leadership of the PDP on Wednesday, October 29, said the APC lacked direction and was not prepared to govern Nigeria, The Nation reports.
This was disclosed in a statement by its Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh.
The statement reads: “The amendment of the constitution of the APC in what the party termed special national convention just few months into the life of the same document is a direct consequence of lack of direction and unpreparedness and an attempt to redeem a jaundiced’ party law.
“The development has confirmed the APC as a disorganised political party, lacking the ability to effectively administer itself and we wonder how it can govern a nation as complex as Nigeria.”


“In APC, Nigerians have continued to witness a rickety, wobbly vehicle bound to jerk to a stop midway, abandoning the occupants to the mercy of inclement elements. Of course, Nigerians have noted that the PDP remains the only steady and stable platform for the growth and progress of democracy in our dear country.”
Metuh further described the APC mini convention in Abuja as a charade and an exercise designed to hide the party’s inadequacies which is glaring for all to see.
The APC constitutional amendments reportedly sailed through unanimously using voice vote at its Special Convention in Abuja with 5,287 delegates and leaders from across the country.
