Chatham House: ‘APC Chasing Shadows’ – PDP…Commends Jonathan for Visit to Troubled Spots.

The Peoples Democratic Party has noted the theatrical appearance of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in that well produced orchestra earlier today at the Chatham House, London. A script well written, a script well acted, all a truthful lie. The messenger belies the message.

The PDP said all lovers of democracy should appreciate those who raised the alarm that led to the postponement as any election on the earlier scheduled February 14 and 28 dates would have been chaotic and far from fair and credible as over 23 million registered voters would have been disenfranchised for no fault of theirs.  Continue reading→
