PDP NCC distances self from APDA

Published by

THE National Caretaker Committee (NCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied sponsorship of the newly inaugurated Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA).

APDA was unveiled in Abuja on Monday with some elements of the PDP in attendance, leading to speculation that the Senator Mohammed Makarfi-led NCC has hand in it.

But in a statement issued by Prince Dayo Adeyeye, National Publicity Secretary of PDP NCC in Abuja on Monday, the party assured its members that the NCC was associated with the newly unveiled APDA.

It also denied that APDA was an offshoot of the PDP.

The statement said: “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.

“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.

“We thank millions of well-meaning Nigerians for their concern and commitment to the defence of our nascent democracy. In the end, this democracy cannot survive without a strong and vibrant opposition.”
