The Divisional Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Engr. Gabriel Itanyi has berated the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the local government over what he termed as politics of deceit, lies and propaganda.
The Chairman, while reacting to the recent media report by handlers of the APC that some members of PDP have defected to the APC, said the media strategy of the APC is insincere. He described the report as the height of self deceit.
He said “those who claim to have ‘re-defected’ have been members of APC right from time” and wondered what APC stands to gain from this self deceit.
He said the ‘arrangee’ decamping ceremony is either to please their pay master or to save their jobs.
Engr Itanyi challenged APC to produce the names, with membership card numbers, of those they claimed have defected from PDP as he believed that no sane person would defect to APC in Ofu in particular in view of humiliation, outright rejection and neglect of Late Prince Abubakar Audu’s group and supporters coupled with hunger, starvation and their abysmal performance at the Federal and State levels.
“Information available to us shows from the event that people who ‘re-defected’ were the same people who have defected or have become moles in PDP before and during 2015 general elections contrary to there usually media hype.
“The only difference here is that, they have only succeeded in transforming from APC to ‘GYB-APC’ Kogi state, Nigeria. This development is a sign of a sinking party.
“A situation where you tell lies to hoodwink unsuspecting public to score cheap political points and popularity is an  evidence of their desperation,” he said.
While he acknowledged the rights of individual to any association and political affiliation, he said it is however appalling and disturbing that APC as a party which failed in fulfilling its electoral promises to the masses has resorted to lies to gain popularity.
Engr Itanyi advised Governor Bello to convert the billions of Naria he is wasting on a deceptive and futile decamping ceremonies to payment of workers salaries and pensioners.
“APC died in Ofu long ago when all efforts, sacrifice and vision of our own son, Late Prince Abubakar Audu, the architect of APC’s victory in Kogi state, were completely neglected and abandoned without remorse.
“The questions that are begging for answers are that who is the APC State or Local Government chairman that received the so-called defectors?  Why was the Governor and his Deputy absent at the same time? Why was the APC state working committee absent?
“We have a video clip of their arrangee ceremony in Ugwolawo to show Nigerians and Kogites how deceitful APC is in Kogi state. I can tell you in affirmative that the decamping ceremony was a show of shame ever,” Itanyi said.
He assured supporters of PDP of the determination and commitment of leaders and stakeholder to restore the lost glory of PDP in the Ofu Local Government and the state at large.
Engr Itanyi equally urged those in APC to return to party anytime they feel like, adding that the umbrella of the PDP under his leadership is big enough to accommodate all diverse interest.
