The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the belated choice of Professor Yemi Osinbajo by General Muhammadu Buhari as his running mate, six clear days after his emergence as the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), as the height of incompetence.
This was made public Wednesday by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a Press Release.

The PDP also declared that the eventual choice of Osinbajo is a confirmation of its stand that the APC is the personal project of a cabal commanded by former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, to expand its political and economic frontiers.

The ruling party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh on Wednesday said, “should power get to this cabal, who is desperate to control the political and economic power centre of the nation, then Nigeria is finished.”

“By the choice of Osinbajo, a well known acolyte of Tinubu, who served under him as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, the APC, General Buhari and Tinubu have boldly recreated their well-known notoriety for sectional and personal interests.

“It is particularly worrisome that General Buhari has surrendered his first official responsibility of choosing a running mate, invariably his powers to Tinubu even before he goes to the field to ask for votes.

“This is not surprising of Buhari, who has consistently exhibited a track record of incompetence. This is the same man who as military head of state surrendered all his powers to his second in command. The story of his headship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) is not different, as he also got lost before the flurry of portfolios of paid consultants.

In 2011, as the leader of the CPC, Buhari failed woefully. His whimsical interference in the choice of candidates for his party not only muddled up the process but ended up creating an electoral malfeasance and confusion that eased out federal lawmakers elected on the platform of the CPC from his native Katsina state.

“Our citizens should indeed be concerned about this: that it took the APC, six days to produce its vice presidential candidate and that the founder and funder of the party, Tinubu, as always, had his way. No doubt, this is how Tinubu is going to impose his mercantilist interest on major decisions affecting the entire country.

“This is the problem with the APC, a political party built on the narrow interests of very few individuals. Any political party that subjects its collective will to the whims of an individual, as it is with the APC, is indeed not ready for leadership.

“Fortunately, the PDP offers to all Nigerians a truly national party and a Jonathan/Sambo ticket ready to build a better tomorrow.

“In PDP, the focus remains to ensure that we continue to deliver on our promises and put the interests of Nigerians first in all our party decisions and policies of our government.”

What's wrong with this people?

Craziness at It's peak.

Everytime PDP did this APC did that can't they be quiet for a while and allow citizens to think on who to vote for in the coming election

Panic attack has truly gripped the rank and file of PDP. The statement is laden with fears and apprehensions.

Do they think poking their nose into the opposition's business will win them 2015.. I laugh.

Wow,but GEJ till my grandma get belle

Pdp

How does this affect their own ambition?

This is clueless poke-nosing. And to think they have Namadi Sambo in their camp all the while.... Smh.

*pot laffing at the black soots on kettle*

waiting concern them self?

I was even thinking that PdP have sense. Why on earth will you be taking panadol for another person's headache, with this senseless press release from PDP, I hereby declare to cease supporting PDP henceforth. We need fresh air, let another party rule Nigeria

This is coming from people who have Namadi Sambo!!

Indeed

Why are they so concerned about APC's choice of osibanjo? Fear don grip dem

Lol...you know, one negative thing about being quick to talk or act upon an issue without critical thought is; you tend to be blinded by your view or one-sided perspective and then, tilt towards not considering the other side of it.

What if the PDP had stopped for a minute to think, that the delay in choosing a VP candidate by the APC was for them to meticulously plan, strategise and select a quality VP that will ensure success at the polls and government(i.e if elected) knowing fully well that adequate planning begat success not just in the polls and government, but in every facet of life.

For the record, am not an APC fan, neither a PDP fan. I'm just a watchful eligible voter with keen eyes observing how the issues are raised and trashed out in order to guide me on casting my ballot come 2015.

[size=14pt]incompetence!!!!!!

pdp

from una mouth


chibok girls nko[/size]

chaiiiiiiiiii

since its coming from the PDP, am not surprised.

“This is not surprising of Buhari, who has consistently exhibited a track record of incompetence.

And look at who's talkin about incompetence. chibok girls have been missing for months. Boko haram keep humbling the military. The list goes on and on and here they are talkin bout incompetence.Why do pdp keep embarrassing themselves?

Fire for fire! It get's really interesting. We're in for a jolly good ride.

how is it PDP concern...y dem go dy take PANADOL for APC headache

Nairaland e don do abeg.

Seen

cant u guys concentrate more on national issues

Olisa Metuh should shut his mouth up. It's better to choose a competent, vibrant and active running mate for 3months than to pick (even if it takes a minute) a clueless, inactive and ceremonial VP whose official duty would be performed by the First Lady!

Stupidity at its highest order. Must PDP condemn?
