In other news…….. Senior journalist and PDP chief Dele Momodu slammed APC for allegedly blocking hotels from hosting an announced event for the ADC Alliance program.
Media personality Rita Ebiuwa responded to the hotel’s claim that it was threatened: “APC is shocking. It is ridiculous to threaten hotels not allowing their facilities to be used for today’s ADC adoption.”
Momodu questioned APC’s confidence and asked why the party was worried that the party had once been seen as a coalition “dead upon arrival”.
“Why do they worry about a coalition they boast about is ‘dead upon arrival’ … Many of their supporters told me privately that they were really being mischievous scandals by overly fanatical members.”
