Tor! PDP Writes APC, Buhari Has Nothing To Offer Except Tired Ideas

Here’s a statement by Olisa Metuh, PDP’s National Publicity
Secretary welcoming Buhari as the flagbearer of APC and at the same time saying
he has nothing to offer except tired ideas and provocative utterances. His words;

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has welcomed the
emergence of former military Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, as the
presidential flagbearer of Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) in the
2015 general elections.

This will be the fourth time General Buhari will be
contesting in the presidential elections. On each of the three previous
occasions, he failed to articulate a vision of the future that was acceptable to
Nigerians.

On each occasion, his brand of politics was rejected across
Nigeria. Apart from changing to a dinner suit, Mr. Buhari has not changed the
tired ideas and provocative utterances that Nigerians rejected in previous
elections.

We hope that this time round, Mr. Buhari will conduct a
campaign that is issue-based and devoid of ethno-religious sentiments.

We are convinced that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
remains the only truly national political party in Nigeria, a platform on which
all Nigerians can pursue their legitimate aspirations.

We also believe that despite the distractions, President
Goodluck Jonathan has a genuine record of accomplishments on which to run and
deserves a second term.

President Jonathan’s re-election will guarantee unity and
stability for Nigerians. His second term will also deliver prosperity to
Nigerians.

Finally, in the words of our own president “The choice
before Nigerians in the coming election is simple: A choice between going
forward or going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between
freedom and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial
reforms – and desperate power-seekers with empty promises.”
