We will Never Hang Buhari’s Portrait in our Offices –PDP

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has said the party will never hang the official portrait of President Muhammadu Buhari at its party’s national secretariat.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told Punch on Tuesday.

“We will never hang his portrait in this office, because President Buhari is not known to our party. He is not a leader of our party and therefore we will never put his portrait here. We are a political party, very partisan and therefore, we are not going to hide that,”
Metuh said the APC also did not hang the portrait of Jonthan in its offices before the former President was defeated in the March 28 election
“Can you find out if the APC had the portrait of former President Jonathan in their office before he was defeated? That is just it,” he said.

When asked whether the party was taking its own pound of flesh, Metuh said no but that since Buhari “is not a member of our party, we won’t put his portrait here.”

In a reaction to the PDP stance, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed, said:

“This is ridiculous and we have no comment. Let Nigerians judge the PDP on this matter,” Mohammed said.
He said the PDP spokesman had a shallow understanding of the concept of opposition politics.
