'Consider rice farming so you can be useful to our country” – APC tells PDP leaders as they demand review of Supreme Court’s verdict on presidential/states election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the call by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the Supreme Court to review its rulings on the presidential election and governorship elections in Osun, Kano, Kaduna and Katsina States.

PDP spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, held a press conference on Monday February 24th, where he also called on the Supreme Court to review its judgment on the 2019 presidential election, which affirmed the victory of President Buhari of the APC.

Reacting to PDP’s demand, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement released, said this has once again “exposed the joke the opposition party has turned itself into in our nation’s political space.”

The ruling party asked the PDP members who they described as ”jobless” to pick up rice farming so they can become ”useful to the country. ”

The statement in part reads

“Never in the history of our democratic journey has a political party made mockery of what a responsible opposition politics entails. The PDP’s call has once again, reinforced our party’s belief that the PDP has become a clog in the wheels of our country’s political evolution.

For the All Progressives Congress (APC), PDP’s latest antics is no surprise. Nigerians would recall that we have consistently reiterated that the opposition party, having been overwhelmingly rejected at the polls in 2015 and 2019, has been exhibiting strange behaviours.

We believe it has been difficult for some leaders of PDP to cope for so long outside of power. There is obviously a lot of idleness at the Wadata House Secretariat of PDP.

At this period that our government is working hard to ensure food sufficiency in the country, we urge those jobless characters at the Wadata House to seriously consider taking up rice farming. This would make them useful for our country.” he said
