The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has distanced itself from the newly formed Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA).
The former ruling party said APDA did not emante from its stable.
APDA, a new party, was unveiled in Abuja on Monday. Raymond Dokpesi, a member of the PDP, was at the event.
In a statement issued hours after the launch, Dayo Adeyeye, spokesman
of the PDP, said the former ruling party did not sponsor the
establishment of the new party.
He also said the PDP was in no way associated with the APDA.
“In the last few hours we have received numerous calls from our party
members, concerned citizens and well-wishers on our association or
otherwise with the Advance Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) which was
unveiled today at Abuja,” he said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we reiterate once again that we are not
in any way associated with the new party in any form or guise. The APDA
is neither an offshoot of the PDP nor its alter ego as some are
speculating.
“This statement is made purely to set the records straight and to
avoid unnecessary innuendos, speculations and ambiguity that may
threaten the continued unity and solidarity of our party members”, he
added.
