Cairo Ojougboh, vice-chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the south-south, has derided the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over its inability to resolve the crisis tearing it apart.
Ojougboh said the APC has shown lack of coordination and ideology in handling the national assembly crisis, saying Nigerians will beg the PDP to come back in 2019.
He was speaking at the secretariat of the PDP in Port Harcourt, capital of Rivers state on Monday.
Ojougboh said a committee led by Ahmed Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna state, had visited the PDP secretariat in the south-south to receive memorandum on how the party could emerge victorious in the 2019 general election.
He warned that his party will not tolerate any attempt to use the election tribunals against its interest.
“Rivers and Akwa Ibom states tribunals are sitting in Abuja. No amount of intimidation will make the PDP lose the elections it won freely and fairly in those states. Any move to rig us out at the tribunals will be resisted,” he said.
Ojougboh maintained the party’s aversion to the appointment of Amina Zakari as acting chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We have said that the appointment of Zakari is completely unacceptable to us,” he said.
“The example that Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan gave should be followed. We know that she is not apolitical.”
