New Mega Party, APDA ‘Not An Offshoot’ of PDP

PDP’s statement follows the unveiling of APDA in Abuja on Monday.

Although there were earlier speculations that APDA was being sponsored by some key PDP members, the latter party maintains it has no business with APDA.

This was according to spokesperson of the PDP, Dayo Adeyeye, who hours after the unveiling denied the party’s association with the new political association.

“In the last few hours we have received numerous calls from our party members, concerned citizens and well-wishers on our association or otherwise with the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) which was unveiled today at Abuja,” he said.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate once again that we are not in any way associated with the new party in any form or guise. The APDA is neither an offshoot of the PDP nor its alter ego as some are speculating.

“This statement is made purely to set the records straight and to avoid unnecessary innuendos, speculations and ambiguity that may threaten the continued unity and solidarity of our party members,” Adeyeye said.
