Akase said, “It is only he who hires that fires. PDP did not
hire APC. Nigerian voters did. So the statement credited to PDP that they will
fire APC in 2019 only shows once more how they (PDP) despise and disregard the
good people of this country who enthroned the change administration and reserve
the exclusive right to decide the outcome of the 2019 polls.

“The wide gulf/difference between APC and PDP is that the
current governing party believes that power and legitimacy belong to the good
people of this country and only the people can decide the fate of any
administration.

“Nigerians need not be surprised to hear PDP speak in the
manner that they are doing at the moment. For a party which had no respect for
the feelings of the people, led with impunity, flagrant scorn of democratic
principles and sidelined the rule of law, comments such as those attributed to leaders
of the party should be expected.

“Lastly, I wish to ask the PDP; can an employee who was
