APC denies DSS boss
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied allegations by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) that the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) Mr. Lawal Daura, is a card-carrying member of the party (APC).
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday described the allegation as absurd and frivolous.
He challenged the PDP to publish any evidence it may have to confirm the allegation, adding that ”After all, he who alleges must prove.”
He continued, that “In the absence of that, the PDP must call another press conference to publicly apologise to all Nigerians for engaging in barefaced lies,” it said.
APC expressed shock that the PDP had started exhibiting all the symptoms of hallucination so soon after its gravy train derailed, saying it’s obvious that the party had now started hearing voices.

“We know that the psyche of the PDP has been badly affected by its loss of power at the centre. Even the party itself has admitted that much. That situation has now been compounded by the fact that the party is broke. It is therefore not a surprise that it is no longer able to think straight. The reality of its new situation is just beginning to dawn on it.
He also warned the PDP to spend more time in patching its tattered and battered umbrella than acting as a cog in the wheel of progress of the new administration.
