Senator Ajibola Bashir, National Secretary of the APC, criticized the PDP as a dilapidated structure incapable of governing Nigeria. He highlighted internal crises in the PDP due to ambition and lack of coordination. During the reception of former PDP member Hon. Nicholas Ossai, Bashir emphasized that the APC is working towards revitalization and strengthening its electoral success. Ossai echoed these sentiments, stating the PDP is in disarray.
Senator Ajibola Bashir, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made a statement regarding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing it as a ‘dilapidated structure’ unworthy of governance in Nigeria. He highlighted the party’s crisis stemming from personal ambitions and poor coordination. This assertion was made during the formal reception of former PDP member Hon. Nicholas Ossai at APC’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Bashir welcomed Ossai on behalf of the APC’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, emphasizing the party’s commitment to revitalization and enhancing its electoral strength across the nation. He asserted the importance of bringing experienced politicians into the party to ensure electoral success. Bashir stated, “Of course, of all political parties in Nigeria, our party continues to wax stronger,” reflecting on the challenges faced by the opposition, particularly the PDP, due to internal strife.
Bashir further questioned the reliability of a party struggling with its internal dynamics, stating, “can Nigerians trust a party that cannot even put its house in order to rule the country?” This critique culminated with a note of appreciation to Ossai for leaving the PDP, which Bashir described as having an already dilapidated structure. Following their meeting, Ossai remarked on the disarray within the PDP, noting that “the centre could no longer hold in PDP because the umbrella has broken.”
The statements made by Senator Ajibola Bashir emphasize the APC’s belief in its strengthening position compared to the disarray within the PDP. The APC asserts that due to the internal crises and structural weaknesses of the PDP, the public’s trust in the party to govern effectively has eroded. This reflects a broader narrative of political rivalry and the challenges faced by opposition parties in Nigeria, as exemplified by Ossai’s comments on the state of the PDP.
