The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that a recent visit by governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to former President Goodluck Jonathan has further affirmed that Nigeria is better under the governance of the opposition.

Legit.ng gathered that the PDP stated this in reaction to the governors' visit on Friday, November 20, describing it as an endorsement of the opposition party's administration.

APC governors led by the acting national chairman of the party and Yobe state governor Mai Mala Buni held a private meeting with Jonathan at his residence in Abuja.

The party made this known in a statement on Sunday, November 22, through its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan.

According to Ologbondiyan, the opposition receives the visit by APC governors as an apology by the ruling party to the PDP and Nigerians over the lies and other allegations deployed to grab power.

Ologbondiyan went on to warn Nigerians to be careful of the APC's antics, adding that the party will not allow the failed party and its pranksters to mislead them once again.

He said:

“The visit, which is a clear endorsement of the acceptability of the PDP administration, also indicates that the APC, in 2015, only created artificial symbols of misgovernance, corruption, and other alleged misgivings just to discredit our party and grab the levers of power to achieve their selfish desires.
“This visit to Jonathan by the APC governors is a direct acceptance of the successes recorded by our party in building a strong nation with a virile economy that was rated as one of the fastest-growing economies of the world.”
