John Alechenu, Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday said All Progressives Congress deserves nothing but pity because for close to six years after taking power, it was still in propaganda mode.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan said this in a telephone interview with
The PUNCH, in Abuja.
The PDP spokesman, however, declined making specific comments about the meeting a PDP chieftain, Femi Fani-Kayode had with the National Chairman of the APC, Governor Mai Mala Buni and Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, in Abuja, on Monday.
Ologbondiyan said, “ It is a shame that we have a coalition of angry and directionless power mongers who were unprepared for governance thrust upon our nation as leaders at the highest level in 2015.
