The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, faulted the call made on it by the All Progressives Congress (APC), asking the ruling party to concentrate on issue-based campaign, saying APC should learn such from it.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, described as “laughable and diversionary” the call made on it by the APC, saying it was a “failed attempt to launder its poor image by try...ing to tutor on issue-based campaign, which it has blatantly refused to practice.”

The PDP noted that while it has been showcasing its numerous achievements in all the sectors of national life, the APC has, on the other hand, dwelt on propaganda, political mudslinging and empty promises to the people.
“It is rather hypocritical for the APC, whose campaigns and press statements have cantered only on insults, blackmail and attempts to caricature office holders, especially President Goodluck Jonathan, to now turn round to accuse others of a despicable conduct for which it has become notorious for.
“It is indeed public knowledge that the PDP campaigns, press releases and utterances of our officials have always focused on issues that promote the development, unity and prosperity of our dear nation.
“This cannot be said of the APC, which dwells on abuses, promotion of violence and posting of lies, ostensibly due to its lack of manifesto,” the PDP said.
The ruling party noted that in keeping with its ideology and strict adherence to democratic tenets and good conduct, it has based its campaigns on records of verifiable achievements and roadmap for a more prosperous future in line with the visions of its founding fathers.
“For instance, in the last four weeks, our press statements and rallies have focused on profiling the performance of our administration, showcasing to Nigerians with facts and figures, the achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan in key sectors of the economy.
“We have been showcasing achievements in education where we have ensured greater access to quality learning through special interventions such as the Back To School programme, the Almajiri system of education, establishment of new universities and a host of other programmes.
“In transport, we have revived the railways and the inland waterways as well as the massive investments in road infrastructure and power.”
