The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has knocked the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for imposing corrupt leaders on the party during the just-concluded national convention.
The main opposition party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said Senator Abdullahi Adamu who emerged as APC’s national chairman was battling corruption case.
He said “The PDP mocks the APC over the imposition of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, a man who was arraigned on 149 counts of alleged fraudulent award of contracts and stealing of public funds estimated at N15bn, as its national chairman.
“The PDP describes the APC jamboree in the name of a national convention as a convention of lies, celebration of illegality, corruption and arrogance in failure, adding that any leadership birthed through such a process can only be overtly corrupt, debauched and illegal.
“It is clear that with the combination of the corrupt, deceitful and rudderless Buhari-led APC government and the illegitimate Abdullahi Adamu-led party leadership, corruption, economic hardship and rudderless in the APC government will worsen in our country in the remaining one year of the APC in government.”
