Propaganda will not save APC, says PDP By Rotimi Akinwumi, Snr Correspondent, Abuja All Progressives Congress (APC) has been warned that elevating propaganda into an art to try and win the February 14 presidential election would not save the party. The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Mu’azu, stated this on Thursday in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Tony Amadi. Mu’azu while warning the APC said: “There is no need to spin and manufacture propaganda to win elections because the PDP has done a lot to deserve re-election of the President in the 2015 elections next month.” According to him, APC was not only spinning out of control but has succeeded in elevating propaganda into an art to try and win at all cost. He, however, urged the PDP to concentrate on drumming it’s achievements in office to the people which he said will sway the votes of the populace to the ruling party. “All the Peoples Democratic Party has to do is state the facts of our achievements on the ground over and over as they stand because Nigerian voters are not dumb or silly. “They know that propaganda don’t win you votes, they only complicate matters because sooner rather than later, their propaganda and lies will fall flat on their faces. “The Nigerian electorate know that leopards don’t change their skin overnight. The change Nigerians need is a change in their standard of living, transformation of the basic infrastructure to better roads, better bridges, and better education standard, better management of the economy as well as better health infrastructure which make us a better country and not change to a political party just to achieve their personal desires,” he said. Mu’azu noted that the APC politicians, who consistently point an accusing finger at the PDP for failing to make a difference in the governance of Nigeria over the past 15 years, share more of the blame for the so called “incompetence and cluelessness.” According to him, “this is because as they point one finger at the PDP, four of their fingers are pointing back at their APC. “How can the gang of five governors who left the PDP in 2013 extricate themselves from those accusations when they were all part of the decision making organs of the party? “For the better part of the eight or four years they governed Rivers, Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa and Kwara, they executed PDP manifesto before they decamped to join the All Progressives Congress where they have continued to execute PDP blue print for success.” “Nigerians should ask Governor Amechi if he has executed any other manifesto other than those of the PDP even after he left the party. Ask Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso whether his infrastructural successes were not planned by PDP government that he headed in Kano state? Has Sokoto’s Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko done any work that was not originated by the PDP government through which he came to power?”
