[size=18pt]PDP lashes at Akande, says AC is a secret cult[/size]

By Jackson Udom and Ayodele Adesanmi - 22.03.2009

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the Action Congress as a secret cult just as it lashed out at the National Chairman of the AC, Chief Bisi Akande for falsely accusing it of planning to kill Senator Bola Tinubu over the Ekiti re-run election.

A statement issued by the National Vice Chairman (South West ) of the party, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo on Saturday described the allegation as patently false, diversionary and wicked, stressing that blackmail would not stop the party from legally winning the re-run election in Ekiti State next month.

The PDP countered that it hoped the AC leaders were not plotting to attack key PDP leaders in the South West because it was in the character of Akande and his party men to accuse their opponents of what they themselves were planning to do.

He described the allegation as a ploy by the AC to divert its attention from forging ahead with its campaigns towards winning the Ekiti election.

The PDP wondered why neither Akande nor any of the “social critics” in the country had come out to advise Tinubu to go to court and clear his name of a weighty allegation recently published against him by the Nigerian Compass newspaper.

“If it were a PDP member that was accused of such, these self-styled critics and moralists would have been falling over one another to attack such a person in the media. But because their bread winner was involved, they have maintained a dead silence.

“Chief Akande can say anything. He, perhaps does not know the limit of political statements and with old age setting in, he can be pardoned for not really knowing what he was saying.

“Our party is peopled by God-fearing men and women who do not cheat people like the AC leaders who pretend to be what they are not. We all know that the AC is a secret cult where sanctity of human life is secondary to individual ambitions of desperate people in that party. We pray their ungodly activities and dark intents will be exposed by God in no distant future,” the PDP said.

Meanwhile, the Ekiti State Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Babade Kayode, has said that the AC was just crying wolves where there was none. He said Senator Tinubu was not the only former governor in Nigeria and saw no reason anybody would want him killed.

He disclosed that “If it is true that some people were planning to kill him as speculated, it must be the AC members in order to cover their tracks. He is insignificant for anybody to be running after his life. PDP is a party of peace and our focus for now is to win the re-run election and we dont want to be distracted.

In the same vein, Senator Ayo Arise stated that the AC was making such allegation in order to cover their devilish plans. “I know they have their own plans as a party and with all these, they have failed to realise that they have exposed themselves”.

In the words of Alhaji Ahmed Rufai, national publicity secretary of the PDP it clearly shows that the party or an individual doing so is afraid of its own shadow and misdeeds, but let the AC endear itself to the electorate instead of flying senseless allegations.

According to him, elections are not won on the pages of newspapers or on baseless allegations. I condemn such an allegation as there is no such a thing. They are afraid because we are already intimidating them. I advise the AC leaders to face the task ahead if they are ready to contest in the Ekiti State re-run election as such unverified allegations would not help them.

It his own reaction, Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo State, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Public Communication, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said, “It belittle the mind that a former governor and chairman of a national party could allow himself to be so cheaply manipulated by political marauders who having failed woefully in Oyo have shifted attention to Ekiti.

“Wasn’t it at Chief Akande’s home in Ila-Orangun in Osun State that Tinubu threatened fire and brimestone on opponents? Chief Akande’s remarks lately make us wonder if the opposition is not too far gone in group hallucination.”
