The Presidency has defended the emergence of former key members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as officials of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

Recall that media houses including WITHIN NIGERIA reported that ex-PDP chieftains including\u00a0Senator Abdullahi Adamu, took control of the ruling party.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday, Malam Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said the stage is now set for the APC primary elections.<\/p>\n

He said the unity displayed at the convention has placed the party on a firmer footing for victory in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe APC Convention hosted this weekend sets the scene for an APC<\/a> victory in the presidential and general elections next year. It is a victory over naysayers who believed the party was divided but are now disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good voters of Nigeria can see through such acrobatics and know the facts that, when the contests for 2023 come, APC offers a track record of success and leadership, while the opposition has only decades of failure and complicity in response.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shehu blamed the opposition for the mindset of division in the APC, stressing that \u201cin all these years\u201d they \u201chad done the work to only divide the country, leading to all manner of separatist agitations. But this is not the wish, nor is it in the character of the citizens, as was clear for everyone to see at the Eagle Square.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cWhen their fake news of disunity was undone by the facts, some in the opposition could not help themselves but take to the newspapers and the airwaves to find another way to shore up their reputations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat some of the APC\u2019s new leadership were once in the opposition was the new line to take to the media, somehow suggesting that those who have left one party should not hold positions in another. Yet, do the Scriptures not teach us of the virtue of sinners who repent and change their ways?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the Scriptures say less is of sinners who repent, change their tune, and then choose to re-sin in full public view by returning to their former ways. \u201cGiven that most important leaders of the opposition PDP first left the party before they returned to it, we might expect the media to ensure criticism of them is damning and absolute. It is incredulous that anyone would consider them trustworthy or acceptable candidates for any public office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
