The Peoples Democratic Party has described the All Progressives Congress’ membership revalidation and registration exercise as a huge scam.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Thursday, said that the outburst by a former National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, further confirmed that the exercise was designed to allot fictitious figures and inflate the APC membership register.
The PDP also mocked the APC on the free for all fight by desperate factions of the ruling party during the membership revalidation exercise held at the Banquet Hall of the Kwara State Government House, Ilorin.
The PDP said the fight ‘over the control of allocated figures’ in Kwara further exposed the exercise as a monumental swindle.
The PDP also lampoons APC leaders over the public apathy that has greeted the exercise, despite the deployment of huge financial resources, stating that such remained a further confirmation that Nigerians have rejected the APC.
“Nigerians are already aware that the purpose of the APC membership revalidation exercise is to produce inflated membership figures to assist the APC to allocated fictitious votes for itself in the 2023 elections; a scheme that is dead on arrival.
“Moreover, no Nigerian would want to join a party of fraudsters, manipulators, political bandits and liars, which has ruined our country and expended its goodwill on the altar of violence, deception and insensitivity to the needs of the people.
“The world watched the show of shame as APC members clashed in bloody brawl, assailing and inflicting injuries on one another with dangerous objects and destroying public property over control of list of fictitious members.
“The PDP has only but pity for delusional APC leaders who are yet to come to terms with the fact that the APC as a party is already dead and that Nigerians cannot be swayed by a fake membership revalidation and a conjured membership figure,” the statement read in part.
