The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the Advance
Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) is not an offshoot
of the party.
APDA, a new political association, was unveiled in
Abuja on Monday. Raymond Dokpesi, a member of the
PDP, was at the event.
There had been speculations that some members of
the PDP sponsored the setting up of the group.
But 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
political association.
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.”
