Sanwo-Olu: Ambode Has Validated APC As ‘Den Of Fraudsters’ – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s revelation on Lagos state governorship aspirant, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has validated its claim that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is “a den of fraudsters and corrupt persons”.

Governor Ambode had during his address at an emergency world press conference he convened today alleged that Sanwo-Olu, who is Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s preferred Lagos governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was arrested in the United States for spending fake dollars.

The governor had also claimed that Mr Sanwo-Olu had once been admitted at a rehabilitation center and hence was unfit to govern the state.

Reacting to Ambode’s accounts, the opposition PDP said it had “reviewed the world press conference of Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, and surmised that the governor validated it’s position that the All Progressives Congress (APC) consists of fraudsters and election riggers.”

The PDP said Ambode’s allegation “that his party (APC) was disenfranchising its members by insisting that registered members of the party, who were yet to be issued with membership cards, will not be allowed to participate in the gubernatorial primary election,” shows that the ruling party lacked integrity.

The opposition party said, “By this, the whole world can see that the APC is nothing but a den of fraudsters and corrupt persons who not only cheated their way to power through lies and propaganda in 2015 but have also continued to bleed and defraud our nation with humongous sleazes and massive corruption in very high places.

“That is why the APC will have no scruples to project persons of questionable character and those with allegations of corruption hanging on the necks as their National Chairman and governorship aspirants.

“We challenge President Muhammadu Buhari to show his claimed integrity by ordering an open investigation into this huge allegation against his party’s governorship aspirant.

“Finally, the PDP calls on Lagosians and indeed all Nigerians to note this ugly trend in the APC and ensure that they throw this undesirable party to the dustbin of history, come 2019.”
