According to the statement, the PDP should confess to their sins against Nigerians, before restitution could be considered.

“Apparently burdened by guilty conscience, the PDP national chairman last week apologised to the nation for the years of misrule that his party has brought to the country. The APC noted this apology but asked the PDP to go a step further and confess to their sins before restitution could be considered.

“Instead of taking this path to redemption, PDP has engaged in fruitless "you too" accusations and name calling. This is further evidence that PDP is not ready for repentance and only offered the apology with the hope that Nigerians will grant them amnesty and a short-cut back to power.

“However, now that Senator Mantu has belled the cat, by confessing to how he has helped the PDP to rig elections in the past, we hope that PDP will follow the bold example of the former Senator and confess to their other sins against Nigeria,” the statement read.

Senator Mantu had disclosed that he helped to rig elections by providing financial inducements to officials involved in the conduct of the polls during an interview with Channels TV.

He admitted to having bribed electoral and security officials, even agents of other political parties in order not to raise any objection to the outcomes of the elections.
