The Ahmed Makarfi faction of PDP has denied media reports that it is
part of the new political party floated today, Advanced Peoples
Democratic Alliance (APDA). Some section in the media had earlier
reported that Makarfi was part of the new party.
PDP says the party is
neither an offshoot of its party.
Read the press statement released from
the party…
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.
God bless the PDP! God bless Nigeria!!
