Continuing the series of political jabs at each other, the APC issued a statement criticising their opponent, the PDP’s, spokesperson, Olisa Metuh’s personal attacks on his APC counterpart.

The statement was issued in Lagos on Saturday by the APC
national publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed.
“With a combustible and out-of-control spokesman like Metuh, there is no way the PDP will survive in opposition,” the statement read. “Metuh has shown, time and again, that he lacks the temperament, presence of mind, sobriety, analytical mind, decency in the use of language and panache needed for anyone to be the face of any organisation, not to talk of a political party.
“It was the realization of this obvious fact that made us to offer to provide
the excitable Metuh a crash course on how to function as an opposition
spokesman. Unfortunately, it is too late now as he seems to have become totally
untrainable.
“Instead of reacting to our sincere advice to his party to
urgently rebrand or go down, Metuh chose to unleash his vitriolic tongue on the
APC spokesman, just as he has done to the judiciary and many agencies of
government in recent times.
“In what is surely a looming tragedy for the PDP, a spokesman
who helped write the party into opposition is now poised to further write it
into extinction.
“The doomed opposition should also immediately stop its failed
strategy of trying to distract the Buhari administration, which is busy
cleaning up the mess left behind by the 16 years of locust of the sinking PDP,” the APC said.
The two parties have earlier exchanged mutual accusation that
followed a similar pattern.
“Stop
throwing juvenile tantrums against everyone, especially the judiciary. Stop
wasting your energy on frivolous accusations. Learn how to communicate your
thoughts to Nigerians in a more civilized way and put your shoulder to the
wheel if you want to reincarnate as a force to be reckoned with in our
country’s political firmament,” the APC stated yesterday.
Retaliating,
the PDP branded Lai Mohammed as “completely unfit” to
hold a responsible national office in a democratic cabinet.
