Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has described the People Democratic Party (PDP) as a ‘Poverty Development Party’ and wonders why the party is still in existence.
Tinubu stated this during a political meeting on Sunday, September 4. He wondered how and why the PDP still exits, despite its alleged failure as a government that was in power for sixteen years.
He said: “We are not just the ones to hurl abuses and insults at our rivals’ party. We don’t need it. We are smarter; we are brilliant; we are courageous; we are not like them.
“They spent 16 years and forgot that there is a railway infrastructure that can do haulage, human carriage, animal husbandry and food carriage across the length and breadth of the country.
“They (PDP) got there and turned it to an incubator. I wonder why they still exist as a party. These are people still fighting for leadership of their party, looking for the direction of the compass. We are not equal at all; we are smarter. We know the road; let them follow.
“We don’t need to worry about PDP — poverty development party. Today, let’s lower the temperature. It’s not the time to campaign yet. They will hear a lot from us.
“We are the party of progressive ideas. We want good education for our children, good development for Nigeria, prosperity for this country, agricultural and agro-allied projects to be embarked upon.”
