PDP slams Ganduje, says he’s a barefaced treasury Looter, lacks moral to speak on corruption
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for
the Edo governorship election, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, as a barefaced
treasury looter, who has no moral rectitude to speak on corruption.
The PDP described as a huge irony that Governor Ganduje, who has become a butt of national shame after being seen on viral video stuffing his robe with gratification in foreign currency, to accuse the PDP of corruption intentions in the Edo state governorship election.
In a communique on Monday, the PDP said it is a paradox that
an individual who has earned himself the disgraceful public sobriquet of
“gandollar”, after being caught collecting gratification, would attempt to
accuse others of having intention of looting the treasury of a state.
The PDP further pointed out that it is only in a party like
the APC, under a Buhari Presidency, that such a tarnished individual can be
selected to speak in public, let alone lead a governorship election campaign.
“Apparently, Governor Ganduje and other APC leaders are so
used to looting public treasuries that such is his first mental direction after
his inauguration to lead the Edo governorship campaign.
“Governor Ganduje has further confirmed the real intention
of the APC, which is to use their morally embattled candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu
(of course, birds of the same feathers flock together) for their desperate
effort to regain access to Edo state treasury, after Governor Godwin Obaseki
liberated the state from the stranglehold of APC treasury-looting godfathers.
“Our party invites Governor Ganduje to note that there is no
free dollars for him and other APC leaders to loot in Edo state.
“Under the PDP, the resources of Edo state, and indeed other
PDP states, belong to the people and not to any political cabal and their
godfathers.
“Of course, this is why the people of Edo state are solidly
behind Governor Obaseki for firmly resisting APC looters.
“Moreover, Governor Ganduje, with his infamous “gandollar”
video, is no match to the Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the
Edo election, Governor Nyesom Wike.
“Whereas Governor Wike is a highly respected, upright,
honest, transparent, people-based and development-driven leader, who is firmly
in touch with the people of Edo state and enjoys their confidence and trust,
Governor Ganduje, on the other hand, represent a leadership that is fraught
with dishonesty, corruption, non-performance and public shame.
“The PDP therefore counsels Governor Ganduje and the APC to
quietly perish the thoughts of looting Edo state treasury like they are doing
in APC controlled states, as the people of Edo state will humiliate them in the
September 19 election,” the PDP’s communique stated in part.
