A member, Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, has said that the opposition party will hang the portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari in its national headquarters at the Wadata Plaza, in Abuja.
Speaking in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Wednesday, Babatope said the President’s portrait should be hanged at the headquarters although the PDP leadership was trying to make a point by not hanging it.
“The President represents Nigeria. He does not represent the narrow and parochial interest of the All Progressives Congress. He represents the larger interest of the people. The PDP may be making some points and I think Nigerians should hear them out before crucifying the party.
“The PDP will hang President Buhari’s portrait. Nigerians have spoken through the ballot. They’ve shown their preference for Buhari and we have accepted their verdict. We shouldn’t really have any problems with the portrait of Buhari. The APC should not try to mislead Nigeria.”
Commenting on the anti-corruption crusade of the Federal Government, Babatope explained that the various ongoing probes in the country would not solve the problems of Nigeria.
He said, “Our revered sage, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, said that probes will never solve the problems of any nation. Those who engage in probes will soon discover the futility of their actions. The probe exercise is a contraption by the elite to distract Buhari.”
