The ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in Nasarawa State has urged the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Nasarawa State to concentrate on resolving internal crisis ravaging the party rather than dissipating emerging on lame opposition.
APC, in a statement by the state publicity, High Chief Douglas Otaru while reacting to a statement credited to Nasarawa State PDP and its chairman, Mr. Adamu Bako, advised the opposition PDP to rather than criticizing the impressive impact the ruling party was making in the state in the area of projects execution, stay mute and face its crisis.
It would be recalled that the PDP and its leadership had in a statement by Jonathan Ipaa, cautioned President Bola Tinubu ahead his invitation to Nasarawa to commission projects executed by the APC government in the state.
The opposition PDP had in the statement warned the president against coming to inaugurate what the party described as fake and inherited projects outlined by Governor Abdullahi Sule administration.
According to the statement by APC, “The recent statement by the PDP chairman, through its press secretary, Mr. Jonathan Ipaa, cautioning President Bola Tinubu against visiting Nasarawa state to commission projects, is utterly ridiculous and unfortunate.
“Such a statement from a chairman of major opposition party does not only show that the party and its leadership was on life-support as well as surviving on falsehood and a clear example of propaganda from a party that has lost its way.
“It’s ironic that a party embroiled in various troubles and litigations would attempt to question the integrity of the legacy projects duly executed by the hardworking administration of His Excellency, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule. The people of Nasarawa State are aware of the progress being made under the APC administration, and they will not be swayed by the PDP’s desperate attempts to discredit the administration”, the statement added.
“The projects in question are real and tangible evidence of the government’s commitment to improving the lives of Nasarawa residents. We urge the public to disregard the PDP’s falsehood and malicious claims and instead focus on the positive impact these projects will have on their lives.
