'Nigerians who voted Tinubu now regretting' - Ondo PDP blasts APC

The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has heavily criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the untold hardship Nigerian citizens are enduring under the Bola Tinubu-led administration.

The PDP chairman in the state, Fatai Adams, in a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, in Akure, stated that Nigerians who voted Bola Tinubu and the APC into power are regretting their actions now.

Adams made the statement in response to the Ondo state chairman of APC in the state, Ade Adetimehin, who said that the PDP has gone into extinction.

According to Adams, it is rather the APC and its incompetent government that is to be blamed for Nigerians suffering and agony of the last eight years.

Parts of the statement read: “He does not realise that even those who were tricked to vote APC in the 2023 general elections are already regretting and lamenting their miscalculation that has brought about untold hardship on them and their families.

“Such a man, if he has any sense of shame and responsibility should have been on his knees begging the people for the huge misfortune masterminded by his party.

”To now open his mouth in a most careless manner to say “PDP is now extinct” is not only laughable but mischief of the highest order.”

“Majority of the 203 Councillors Adetimehin is celebrating for joining his party have not been active in the last two cycles of elections in Ondo State.

“A few of them have been in the APC since 2016. How the defection of such characters translates to PDP being extinct can only be understood by someone like Adetimehin who is presiding over a dangerously fragmented APC in the State but deludes himself with fun-seeking decampees who tell him tales by moonlight.

“The PDP in Ondo State is unruffled by a few persons who are in a self-destruct misadventure in Adetimehin’s sinking APC ship.

“While we sympathise with such persons, it is pathetic that those who should be weeping are dancing and rejoicing.

”But in no distant time, reality will dawn on them that, indeed, they lived a lie all along.

“The party chairman declared that ” PDP cannot be extinct, there are no such signs. And it will never be.”
