People around Buhari Not our Members, Says PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that attempts by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to put the blame of its failure on previous government will not save it from the verdict of the people.
Reacting to claims by the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari derailed because PDP members are those calling the shots in the government, the party’s Spokesman, Dayo Adeyeye, said APC was merely lamenting its failures.
Ali had said during the opening of the campaign office of the Buhari Support Organisation in Abuja on Friday that about 50 percent of PDP members were in the Buhari administration and members of the party were the ones calling the shots, thus the reason for the derailment of the government’s change agenda.
However Adeyeye who spoke to THISDAY in a telephone interview Saturday, described Ali’s assertion as unfounded, adding that among the cabal around the presidency, none of them has ever been in PDP.
