N5,000 Stipend: APC Senators Acting Party Script’ - PDP
……Says APC’s Hidden Ideology Is Lying

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Wednesday’s rejection by APC
senators of the N5,000 monthly stipend, which they promised Nigerians
during the electioneering, underscores the monumental hypocrisy of their
party in getting to power by means of deceit and false promises to
Nigerians.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on
Thursday said that the development is a clear confirmation of the fact
that the APC is a party of hypocrites, who never had the intentions of
honouring any of their campaign promises.

“The PDP declares that it is absolutely obvious to all that the APC came
to power riding on monumental lies and deceit in making promises they
had no intentions to keep. All they wanted was to get into power and
they achieved this with their lying tongues.

“Indeed, the unanimity displayed by the APC senators in rejecting the
promised N5, 000 monthly welfare package, especially coming after their
party and the Presidency had made futile efforts to distance themselves
from it, further stresses the duplicitous spirit of the APC and its
reprehensible insensitivity to the feelings and aspirations of
Nigerians, especially the unsuspecting youths, women and the indigent,
who they shamelessly swindled with false promises.

“From the foregoing therefore, Nigerians should not expect any sincere
action from the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government on the
other promises including monthly allowance to discharged but unemployed
NYSC members, free meals and scholarship to school children, free
houses, bringing the naira to the same value with the dollar.

“Our position remains that the APC has sufficiently confirmed to the
world that they have a lot to learn on the leadership values of honesty,
integrity, credibility and forthrightness.

“Finally, we invite Nigerians to note the powers amply vested on them by
the constitution under a democracy as we urge them to stand on such
powers and hold the APC and its government accountable for all their
campaign promises.
