The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Tuesday, accused national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of hauling insults on the party (PDP) in a bid to curry political relevance.

As proceedings at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal continue in Abuja, the nation’s capital, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed confidence of its chances of reclaiming victory for its candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, if the panel deals with the issues before it without fear or favour.

It was a shocking defeat for several reasons. First, it occurred in a state that is often categorised as a stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) —Bayelsa State. What could have happened? Here is a state whose governor, Henry Seriake Dickson, has often said that no federal might can reverse the will of the people to safeguard the state against the crushing might of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Almost four years ago, he lived up to his promise when he crushed the APC during the governorship election. Thereafter, he was nicknamed:Ofuruma-Pepe, an Ijaw expression and a traditional title meaning  “The great white shark that tames the ocean when the tempest is high.”

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, says the Federal Government has credible evidence that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and it’s a presidential candidate in the 2019 elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, are doing everything possible to sabotage the current administration, generally overheat the polity and make Nigeria ungovernable.

The two main contenders for the speakership of the House of Representatives of the 9th National Assembly, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila and Mohammed Bago, last week, made strategic moves in a bid to outdo each other.
