Letter To Buhari: Obasanjo Has Made Unsubstantiated Claims – PDP
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has described itself as the true coalition of Nigerians from across the country.
The assertion was contained in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The party expressed confidence that its years of experience in governance and successful recovery from challenges faced, had given it a higher advantage over every other existing or intending political platforms in Nigeria, News Agency of Nigerian reports.
Speaking on former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to President Buhari, the PDP criticised claims by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, that PDP procure judgment from the Supreme Court, describing it as “unsubstantiated claims.’’
PDP said: “Obasanjo’s claim on procurement of judgment amounts to an ill-intended attempt to impugn the integrity of the Supreme Court, particularly when such a claim is false and not predicated on any empirical proof.’’
The party said that the ruling of the Supreme Court, which ended the prolonged internal feud within its confines reinforced Nigerians confidence in it.
“Rather than detract, the judgment reinforced the confidence of Nigerians in the PDP as the platform that truly embodies the resilience of a genuine democratic process in the face of daunting challenges.
“Even the worst critics of PDP concede that the judgment of the Supreme Court, was unprejudiced, uninfluenced and determined completely on merit, for which it was applauded in Nigeria and across the world.’’
“Unlike the APC, where very few individuals from within a circle control the instrument of power and governance, the PDP remains that egalitarian platform.
“PDP remains that egalitarian platform where all Nigerians are free to express themselves, politically engage and freely aspire for any office without regard to divisive considerations.’’
