The
Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday lashed
out at the All Progressives Congress in the state over reports that PDP
leaders were against the ministerial nomination of Senator Musiliu
Obanikoro.
The PDP, in a statement by its Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Gani Taofik, urged the public to ignore the rumour,
noting that the leaders of the party were solidly behind Obanikoro.
It said the rumour was being spread to
cause acrimony and confusion within the party, adding that Obanikoro was
highly qualified for the ministerial post.
The statement read, “They are thus
peddling the rumour to cause acrimony among our leaders but
unfortunately for the APC, all our leaders have come together, better
united and have said no to leadership acrimony in Lagos State.
“The sponsors of the divisive rumours are
the leaders of APC, especially in Lagos State. They will always shiver
at the mention of Obanikoro. Indeed, a willing Obanikoro is politically
skilful to torment the assumed political influence of APC in the state.
“We enjoy how, in recent times, the APC
has become very paranoid of our soaring feat in Lagos State. They now
discuss our concerns more than theirs! This is laughable. How does one
explain the interest of the APC in the decision of the PDP to support
one of its best to serve the country?
“This rumour is obviously the extension
of the recent impotent threat by APC senators to oppose the screening of
Senator Obanikoro. This is a politically influential, successful
business and family man.”
