In a rare  show of sportsmanship, the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party has congratulated the new leadership of the main opposition political Party, the All Progressives Congress.

While congratulating the APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun; National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed; and other newly elected officers for their emergence at their party’s National Convention, the PDP charged them to ensure a vibrant opposition devoid of bitterness, desperation and divisive tendencies.

PDP National Publicity Secretary , Olisa Metuh in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, also told the new leadership to “ensure an issue based opposition that will purposefully and constructively engage and challenge the PDP with decency and maturity as prescribed by democratic tenets and principles.”

Stating that Nigerians deserve a vibrant and patriotic opposition driven only by the national interest, Metuh charged the new APC leadership to “put the unity and welfare of Nigerians ahead of other considerations and jettison all divisive tendencies including unguarded statements that overheat the polity and pitch Nigerians against one another”.

Metuh, however, asserted PDP’s pre-eminent position and widest acceptance among Nigerians across board despite the APC new leadership which it said posed no threat at all.

He added that the ruling party remains the only party that has continued to be committed to the national interest, as well as providing level playing ground for all Nigerians to achieve their aspirations irrespective of religious, ethnic and gender considerations.
