Nigerians are aware of APC's desperate plots

Ologbondiyan said the PDP’s position is predicated on the arrogant and reckless assertion by Sheriff that their aspiration is to continue to foist APC in government for the next 40 years, in defiance of the decision by Nigerians to do away with their party by 2023.

Nigerian Tribune also reports that the party said Sheriff must know that Nigerians are aware of the desperate plots by the APC and its members that are behind acts of treasury looting, violation of rights and electoral manipulations in our country, to continue to enjoy official cover using the APC as a platform for their reprehensible activities.
