MIND YOUR BUSINESS, ACN TELLS PDP

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has said the PDP overstepped its bounds by criticising, in the crudest of language for which it is now notorious, the decision of the party’s (ACN’s) leadership to settle the rift between Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti and a member of the house of Representatives from the state, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why the PDP, beset with a humongous crisis of its own making, would use the time it doesn’t have to dabble into what is strictly the internal affairs of the ACN, an issue that has no bearing on governance at the national level where the PDP has been bumbling.

It said the ACN leadership has no regrets for saying Gov. Fayemi should be allowed to go for a second term because he has performed well, adding that a student who does well deserves promotion.
”This is unlike the situation in the PDP where even a President who has failed woefully, using his own lowered ‘marking scheme’, is being offered an automatic ticket! ACN rewards excellence, not indolence, and we have no apologies for this,” the party said, asking when Mr. Bamidele appointed the PDP as his defender.
ACN wondered why the PDP leadership has been gallivanting from one zone to another trying to reconcile its ever-warring members, if indeed the ruling party believes that other parties have no right to do the same.
”It seems, however, that what has irked the PDP is that where its own reconciliation efforts have failed woefully, because they were insincere, ACN’s have succeeded, due largely to the discipline in the party and the sincerity of its efforts. After all, we don’t go around suspending or destroying our best performers in the name of ‘reconciliation’.” it said.
ACN advised the PDP’s Acting National Publicity Secretary, Tony Okeke, to learn the elementary lessons of being a party spokesman, which include that you don’t just make comments unless their are compelling reasons to do so.
”We have noticed the enthusiasm of the new spokesman, which is good, especially since he wants to impress his masters so they can keep him on the job. But he needs tutelage and mentoring so that he can carry out his duties effectively. So far, he has not availed himself creditably,” the party said.
