PDP Denies Rift Over Presidential Campaign Funds Published February 5, 2019


The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday said there was no truth in a report suggesting that there were disagreements in the party over the handling of its presidential campaign funds.
It described the report which it alleged emanated from the ruling All Progressives Congress as laughable, infantile and diversionary.
Kola Ologbondiyan,the party’s National Publicity Secretary made the PDP’s position known.He said that the APC and agents of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Council were fabricating stories to create a non-existent scenario.
He said, “The PDP is aware that the Buhari Presidency and the APC have become so frustrated over their dwindled electoral fortunes in the face of the soaring popularity of the people’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that they are now making attempts to inject crisis into the PDP campaign in order to divert public attention from their own failures and rejection.
“For President Buhari’s information, the Atiku Abubakar campaign is owned and driven by the Nigerian public and will never have the kind of rift that has been ravaging the APC campaign.
“Unlike the Buhari Campaign Organisation, the Atiku presidential campaign has been running a transparent and people-driven campaign anchored on the volunteered support of overwhelming majority of Nigerians.”
