PDP: Minister’s Confession that APC Produced ‘One Chance’ Govt Vindicates Us

Chuks Okocha

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday said that the confession by the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr. Lai Mohammed, that the All Progressives Congress (APC) produced a “one chance” government has confirmed its stand that the APC thrives on lies, deception, stealing and acts of political banditry.

The PDP held that Mohammed’s declaration that the Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq-led APC’s government of Kwara State is treacherous and false-hearted and akin to “one chance” is an appellation that covers the APC administration at the national and state levels across the country.

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, said that all Nigerians knew that “one chance’ is a term referring to a form of robbery in which assailants lure unsuspecting victims into their vehicle, pretending to be heading to a particular destination, only to rob and afterwards kill or abandon their victim to fate.

The PDP, however, urged Nigerians to note the declaration of members of the Kwara State House of Assembly that described Lai Mohammed as “a liar, who lies every day.”

Ologbondiyan said: “This declaration by members of the Kwara House of Assembly directly points to how the APC used the instruments of lies, false promises, deception and propaganda to gain access to power in 2015,” adding that the APC’s administration has continued to use the same instruments of lies, falsehood and deceit as a policy direction.

The PDP urged Mohammed, as a minister, to come clean on how he “single-handedly” raised the huge sum of money, which he claimed he used to finance elections in Kwara State.

It said: “This is particularly as the minister failed to give the details of the friends, politicians and families whom he claimed help him in “single-handedly” raising the said huge funds for his party.”
