The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has berated the All
Progressives Congress, APC, for
“not being bold and
sportsmanlike enough to accept
its straight defeat in the Delta
Central Senatorial by-election”
won by its candidate, Chief
Emmanuel Aguariavwodo.
The party also described the APC
as “a party borne out of violence
and religious extremism; a serial
bad loser which always finds it
difficult to accept that it does not
have the support of Nigerians.”
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement
said in protesting against an
election where it lost woefully,
the APC is merely “rehearsing its
excuses ahead of the 2015
general election when it will
suffer the ultimate humiliation
from Nigerians.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, the
Delta Central senatorial by-
election was free, fair and
credible and the people freely
gave their mandate to the PDP
candidate, Chief Emmanuel
Aguariavwodo.
“In protesting the outcome of an
election where it did not get up to
10 per cent of the total votes cast,
the APC has shown that it
remains a party borne out of
violence, religious extremism and
desperation; a party of bigots
which fails to understand that it
does not have the support of
Nigerians hence its inability to
win elections due to its
undemocratic and do-or-die
posture.
“The APC remains a serial bad
loser which delights in
overheating the polity,
establishing fascism in the states
under its control and refusing to
be bold and sportsmanlike
enough to accept clear defeats,”
it said.
