PDP, LP Are "Bad Losers," Ogun APC Says

The Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party have been described as "bad losers" by their political rivals, the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress. In a statement by its publicity secretary, Sola Lawal, the APC alleged that the PDP and the LP were led by people who misruled the state between the years of 2003 and 2011. The APC said the two partied were "bad losers" who have decided to close their minds and eyes to the "unparalleled transformation in the Ogun State" under the Ibikunle Amosun administration. The difference between the LP and PDP is, according to the APC, like that "between six and half a dozen." The APC said it was "mischievous, misleading and myopic" for the leaders of PDP and LP to claim that the Governor Amosun administration has performed below expectation. It noted that majority of the citizens of the state were happy that the infrastructural facilities, social services and welfare packages, which they never had, were now being put in place by the present administration. "We make bold to say that whether in the areas of security, infrastructural development, education, industrialisation, promotion of agricultural as a veritable source of employment for the people or institution of welfare programmes, among others, the Amosun administration has justified the mandate given to our party by the good people of our dear state," the statement by the APC read. It added that while it understood the frustration of PDP and LP leaders who, instead of bringing development to the state, had resorted to foisting a culture of violence on the people, these "failed politicians" should either bury their heads in shame or keep quiet as the people would no longer tolerate their shenanigans. "If these set of bad losers pretend as if they do not know the sanity and growth that we now witness in the education sector and they cannot see the infrastructural facilities which are daily springing up at their door steps, they should maintain their peace. Our people have no use for those who will plunder the resources of the state and run to Lagos, Abuja and London to hide until it is time for another election when they come around to instigate discord and violence. "It is not a surprise that a hitherto comatose opposition in Ogun State has now suddenly woken up to desperately seek relevance now that the nation is approaching another election period, even if the endeavour is only meant to persuade their sponsors to release more funds," the APC concluded.
