You Played A Part In Bringing This Failed APC Govt To Power – PDP Replies Jega
- The opposition party noted that Jega’s statement necessitates a call to question the sense of judgment of the professor
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted remarks by a former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, advising Nigerians against voting for it in the 2023 general elections.
Jega, now a member of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) had, on Monday, said that there has been no difference between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP as both parties have formed the federal government and have failed Nigerians.
But in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP warned Jega not to infuriate Nigerians by attempting to dry-clean the rudderless and inept of the All Progressives Congress (APC), despite the unbearable devastation the ruling party has brought to the nation in six years.
The PDP noted that comparing the incompetent and decadent APC to the highly productive and development-oriented PDP is an unpardonable disservice to Nigeria.

The Party reminded Prof Jega of the roles he played in bringing Buhari and his failed party into office, warning that Nigerians do not need a ‘manipulative tendency of any individual seeking political relevance ahead of 2023’.
The opposition party noted that Jega’s statement necessitates a call to question the sense of judgment of the professor.
“The PDP further holds as worrisome that Jega (Ex-INEC Chairman), who only recently and rightly so, described the ruling party and the Buhari administration as a failure, is now attempting an image laundering with such a warped comparison, just a few weeks after he was offered a juicy appointment as Chairman of Governing Council of University of Jos by President Buhari.
“It is so unfortunate that Prof. Jega, as a professor of political science, could portray an ignorance of the manifest contrasts between the robust fortunes of our nation under the PDP and the wasteland she has become under the APC,” the statement read in part.
