The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied the allegation that the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. Lawal Daura, is a card-carrying member of the party (APC).
In a statement in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party challenged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to publish any evidence it might have to confirm the allegation, adding: ‘’After all, it is trite that he who alleges must prove.’’
‘’In the absence of that, the PDP must call another press conference to publicly apologize to Nigerians for engaging in barefaced lies,’’ it said.
APC expressed shock that the PDP had started exhibiting symptoms of hallucination so soon after its gravy train derailed.
‘’We know that the psyche of the PDP has been badly affected by its loss of power at the centre. Even the party itself has admitted that much. That situation has now been compounded by the fact that the party is broke. It is, therefore, not a surprise that it is no longer able to think straight. The reality of its new situation is just beginning to dawn on it.
‘’But we warned the PDP early on that being in opposition is not a walk in the park. We warned that while the party was used to eating its bread with butter on both sides, it will now be lucky to even have bread to eat,’’ the party said.
It warned the PDP to spend more time on patching its tattered and battered umbrella than acting as a cog in the wheel of progress of the new Administration.
