PDM to Anenih: You are a masquerade behind the anti-PDM

 

The newly registered political party, the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) has hit back at the Chairman of Board of Trustees, Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih. 

The party described Chief Anenih as the “masquerade behind the anti-PDM.”

It advised the former Minister of Works and Housing to face his party’s many problems and let the newly registered party be.

PDM also reminded the PDP chieftain that the party has come to stay; stressing that it is an idea whose time has come.

Chief Anenih, according to a report in the media on Monday had queried the registration of PDM as a political party.

The PDP chief has been a member of the PDM since its formation as a political group under the leadership of the late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.

The Media Adviser to PDM Chairman, Alaba Yusuf, in a statement issued on Monday, said, “The masquerade behind the anti – Peoples Democratic Movement, the newly registered party, has finally been unveiled. Chief Anenih’s recent press statement is a positive advertisement for PDM and what it stands for. There’s no turning back the hands of time. PDM is an idea whose time has come. We are not going to waste our time exchanging words with those who want to live in the past, and continue to impoverish the ordinary Nigerian.

“Let the PDP BoT Chairman resolve the crises tearing his party and the country apart; before dabbling into the affairs of another party over which he has no control.

“Sadly, Chief Anenih’s description of PDM’s registration as ‘a political trickery’ is nothing but an insult to the electoral laws and the credibility of INEC. The beauty of democracy lives on the principles of freedom of speech, association and the right to exist politically.”
