2019: PDP, APC in war of words over Dasuki
09:56
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), yesterday,
linked the trial of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), to the 2019 general elections, saying President Muhammadu Buhari and his All Progressives Congress (APC) are scared Dasuki may be nursing a presidential ambition.
The party said it was unfortunate that Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade has now become a war between the APC and the PDP.
Meanwhile, the APC leadership replied,saying it was not losing sleep about who the PDP plans to pick from the North as its presidential flag bearer in the 2019 elections.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement, said it was appalling that the APC and its leaders, “who gleefully and unjustifiably poured invectives on former President Goodluck Jonathan in the guise of playing the role of an opposition party, would now not want to condone criticisms”.
PDP explained that the trial of Dasuki was a sign that the ruling party felt threatened by his wide political and security network which he may use should he decide to contest for the presidency in 2019 on the PDP platform.
Buhari, according to the opposition party, appeared to have already pronounced Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu of Radio Biafra guilty in his last week media chat even before court
