APC leader imposed Ambode —PDP

Mr. Taofik Gani
The Peoples Democratic Party has alleged that
the governorship candidate of the ruling All
Progressives Congress in Lagos, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode, was imposed by a national leader of
the party.
The Publicity Secretary for the PDP in Lagos, Mr.
Gani Taofik, in a telephone interview with our
correspondent, alleged that there would be
defections from the APC before the February
2015 general elections.
He cited the defeat of the former Governor of
Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, in the state’s
June governorship election as the reason why
some APC members defected to other parties.
Fayemi, who was the committee chairman of
the recently held third national convention of
the APC, on Wednesday, had described the
special convention of the PDP holding on the
same day as undemocratic.
He described the PDP event as a coronation,
rather than a convention, saying it was a ruse
to endorse Jonathan.
But Taofik described the reaction as a
busybody’s stance, saying the ex-governor was
speaking based on “the hallucination of the
16-0 defeat he suffered at the hands of the
PDP in Ekiti.”
The PDP spokesperson asked, “What is their
interest in knowing how the PDP came about its
candidate? We have not intruded into theirs.
Our President remains the first model for us to
win the election now and we have also shown
that we are democrats who appreciate
progressivism.
“That is why people have not come out to
contest against a working, successful and
performing president. That is not the case in
the APC. In the APC, they are always desperate.
Fayemi lost the election because of some APC
members who defected to some other parties.
“The same thing applies to Lagos State; Ambode
was imposed and we are expecting more
defections before the elections. That the APC
had a convention of people participating in
Lagos for the presidency is not a reflection that
they are democratic.”
When contacted, APC Publicity Secretary in
Lagos, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, did not reply to phone
calls and a text message to his phone line.
