EVIDENCE OF DAURA’S PARTISANSHIP APPEARS AFTER APC DARED PDP

Evidence has emerged that the Director-General of the Department of State Service (DSS) Mr. Lawal Daura is a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) whose name was published as member of the Security Directorate (sub-committee) of the party’s presidential campaign council for the 2015 election.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had on Wednesday disclosed that the newly appointed boss of the DSS as a card carrying member of the APC is not competent to head the security agency.
However the APC, on Thursday denied the allegation by the PDP saying the accusation was absurd and frivolous.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party challenged the PDP to publish any evidence it may have to confirm the allegation.
The statement read in part: “In the absence of that, the PDP must call another press conference to publicly apologise to all Nigerians for engaging in barefaced lies,” it said.
“We know that the psyche of the PDP has been badly affected by its loss of power at the centre. Even the party itself has admitted that much. That situation has now been compounded by the fact that the party is broke. It is therefore not a surprise that it is no longer able to think straight. The reality of its new situation is just beginning to dawn on it.
“But we warned the PDP earlier on that being in opposition is not a walk in the park. We warned that while the party was used to eating its bread with butter on both sides, it will now be lucky to even have bread to it,” the party said.
It warned the PDP to spend more time in patching its tattered and battered umbrella than acting as a cog in the wheel of progress of the new Administration.
