But APC never came out to tell that to Nigerians at a press conference.

Please stop doing John Terry when politicians mess up. You're better than this.

you are an intelligent woman. Don't let your blind support for PDP drown your intelligence.

My 2cents!

[Madam, this advice you just gave should be taken by you too.
I think you need it more

One question please...

Did APC hang Jona's portrait in their office?

etenyong:
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has refused to hang the official portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari at the party’s national secretariat, checks by The PUNCH have revealed.

Over 100 days after the President assumed office, the PDP has yet to hang his portrait at any of the offices in its Wadata House national secretariat, located at Zone 5, Abuja.

The party has also said it would never put Buhari’s portraits on its walls though it has removed that of the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who ruled on the platform of the PDP.

“We will never hang his portrait in this office, because President Buhari is not known to our party. He is not a leader of our party and therefore we will never put his portrait here. We are a political party, very partisan and therefore, we are not going to hide that,” National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told our correspondent on the telephone on Tuesday.

Jonathan was also the presidential candidate of the former ruling party during the last general election but he was defeated by Buhari, who was the presidential candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress.

The defeat was the first to be suffered by the PDP since the return of democracy in 1999.

Before now, the party has always been hanging the portraits of all the Presidents at the party’s reception area as well as the National Executive Committee and National Working Committee halls within the secretariat.

Metuh said the APC also did not hang the portrait of Jonthan in its offices before the former President was defeated in the March 28 election.

“Can you find out if the APC had the portrait of former President Jonathan in their office before he was defeated? That is just it,” he told our correspondent.

When asked whether the party was taking its own pound of flesh, Metuh said no but that since Buhari “is not a member of our party, we won’t put his portrait here.”

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, expressed shock at Metuh’s comment.

“This is ridiculous and we have no comment. Let Nigerians judge the PDP on this matter,” Mohammed said.

He said the PDP spokesman had a shallow understanding of the concept of opposition politics.

Meanwhile, work has stopped at the new secretariat of the PDP, located in the Central Business District, Abuja.

Investigations by our correspondent indicated that contractors handling the project were only doing skeletal jobs at the site.

When our correspondent visited the site on Tuesday, there was no visible job being done at the site.

It was gathered that the cost of the project was put at N11.5bn when it was awarded some years ago. At completion, the building is expected to have 12 floors, with two other floors serving as the car park.

The party had claimed that the project was being financed from levies and contributions from members.

When a fund-raising dinner was organised a few years ago, the party was able to realise about N5bn, and the project, which started more than four years ago, was to be delivered in 126 weeks.

The former National Chairman of the party, under whose leadership the project commenced, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, had then said that the complex, when completed, would strengthen the capacity of the PDP to discharge its role effectively in Africa.

The party had claimed on January 5, 2015 that it was going to spend part of the N21.8bn it realised from the party’s fund-raising on the party’s secretariat.

A former Minister for Information and the Chairman of the party’s Fund-raising Committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, had said the money donated to the PDP was not meant for the campaign of the defeated Jonathan alone.

Misterdhee1:
Are they trying to say "Buhari isn't acceptable to them as the Lawfully Elected President of the federal Republic of Nigeria"? Metuh and his cohorts must be high on native hemp!

eleko1:
We all knw dat PDP behave like kindergarten pipu.Pathetic!. Useless party.

OrlandoOwoh:
The portrait will be reminding them of anti-corruption and would cause unease to them.

hinwazaka:

PMB is the leader of APC, which is the rival party to the PDP, so how do you expect them to display the portrait of the leader a rival party. The big question is did the APC ever display GEJ's portrait while the PDP were in power

Beremx:
did Lai Mohammed tell the whole world that they never hung Jonathan's portrait in their offices? You're just hearing that today right? Why is Olisa Metuh telling us that they will never hang Buhari's portrait if not for a hidden agenda? Is he telling Nigerians to disregard Buhari as our president?

Go back and read Firefire's post and see how a sensible wailer should reason. You need to take it easy with your sentimental outbursts when responding to certain topics on PDP matters.

Good morning

Please shove your advice and stop patronizing me.
You are in no position to tell me what I am better than or not, especially with the barefaced lie you just told.

Show me where it was written that PDP called a press conference or forever hold your peace.
