National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, Thursday, advised Nigerians not to accept the apologies tendered by the People‘s Democratic Party (PDP) for its mistakes while in power.
Mr Tinubu made the statement while speaking at a colloquium organised to mark his 66th birthday in Lagos.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the theme of the colloquium, the 10th edition, was “Investing in People.“
The PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, had on Monday in Abuja, apologised to Nigerians for the mistakes the party made while in power.
Mr Tinubu described the apologies as deceitful, saying they sought to hoodwink Nigerians to get a political advantage.
The APC chieftain added that the PDP brought the country to its knees with massive corruption, saying they should not be allowed to return to power again.
“Nigerians should not accept PDP’s apologies, they are corrupt, they lied, they falsified, they changed figures.
“For 16years, they made fake promises, gave us fake figures, and they tell us ‘Don’t talk about it’.
“It is like, after catching a thief and he tells you ‘Don’t look at me, go and steal your own’, he said.
