scannews_specialreport PPA, LP explain why they will never hang Buhari’s portrait in their secretariats

declare that APC molested, disrespected Jonathan by refusing to hang his portrait in their national secretariat while he was President

The PPA National Chairman, Mr. Peter Ameh, has explained that the APC blazed the trail of “subtle civil disobedience” when it was in opposition.

Ameh said, “Your storyline should be whether the APC had the photograph of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. They did not. And that is the story; the APC did not have Jonathan’s portrait in the party’s national secretariat.

“Everything is about precedent. Throughout Jonathan’s tenure, the APC didn’t have his photograph; so, maybe other political parties are also learning from the precedent set by the APC. They are following in the footsteps of the party during the last administration.”

The LP National Chairman, Mr. Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, also argued that apart from the fact that the APC never accorded Jonathan such respect, the new administration had failed to make the official portrait of Buhari available to it.

Abdulsalam said, “We don’t have the photograph of President Buhari in our secretariat because the APC never had the photograph of ex-President Jonathan in their offices. We are supposed to have got it but we didn’t. The fact of the matter is that the Federal Ministry of Information should have called us, not only political parties, to say that the President’s photograph is available at the Federal Ministry of Information and that all organisations should apply for it.”
