OYO: PDP condemns APC’s eight-year rule, says Ajimobi’s govt was ‘clueless’

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cast aspersions on the eight year rule of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State saying the party should be ashamed of former governor Abiola Ajimobi’s ‘clueless’ governance.

The PDP added that the statement issued by the APC in defence of the alleged looting of the state, by the past administration was an affront on the sensibilities of the people of Oyo State.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the party’s state Publicity Secretary, Akeem Olatunji, the PDP slammed the leadership of the APC for sticking out their necks to defend what they described, as mindless looting in the state.

The statement by the PDP reads thus in part; “We are highly embarrassed that any leader of the APC, a party that has perpetually claimed its live for anti-corruption at the national level, could launch out and defend mismanagement and outright looting in the state.

“We are appalled that the said APC leaders saw nothing wrong in the illegal payment of N2 billion to a firm for the Moniya-Iseyin Road and the disappearance of the company that received that sum as well as the justification being offered for the illegal local government structure hurriedly put in place by the Ajimobi administration,” the PDP said.
