The PDP also said the eventual choice of Osinbajo was a confirmation of its stand that the APC is the personal project of a cabal commanded by ex-Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, to expand its political and economic frontiers.
PDP national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement yesterday said the APC has nothing meaningful to offer to Nigerians and should not be recognised as a party that would bring change in Nigeria.
“By the choice of Osinbajo, a well known acolyte of Tinubu, who served under him as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, the APC, General Buhari and Tinubu have boldly recreated their well-known notoriety for sectional and personal interests. It is particularly worrisome that General Buhari has surrendered his first official responsibility of choosing a running mate, invariably his powers to Tinubu even before he goes to the field to ask for votes.
“This is not surprising of Buhari, who has consistently exhibited a track record of incompetence. This is the same man who as military head of state surrendered all his powers to his second in command.
“Our citizens should indeed be concerned about this: that it took the APC six days to produce it’s vice presidential candidate and that the founder and funder of the party, Tinubu, has always, had his way.  No doubt, this is how Tinubu is going to impose his mercantilist interest on major decisions affecting the entire country. This is the problem with the APC, a political party built on the narrow interests of very few individuals. Any political party that subjects its collective will to the whims of an individual, as it is with the APC, is indeed not ready for leadership.”
It noted that the PDP offered to all Nigerians a truly national party and a Jonathan/Sambo ticket ready to build a better tomorrow.
