All Progressives Congress Governorship Candidate in Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said that Peoples Democratic Party in 1999 is not the same as the PDP of today, the PDP of today is criminal PDP.
El Rufai made this statement during a visit to the correspondent chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Kaduna on Saturday. He said “It is a big mistake to say that the PDP of 2003 is the same as the Jonathan’s PDP.
“The PDP that I was a member had rules and processes. Let me give you one example. As a minister of FCT, I demolished a house belonging to the Chairman of the PDP.
“Today, no minister of the FCT can touch the house of a member of the PDP National Executive Committee. The PDP in 1999 was not the same as the PDP of today. The PDP of today is a criminal PDP.
“They have no regard for rules. They say that they are Peoples Democratic Party but they have no regard for the people and democracy.
“I was minister on the platform of the PDP but I was not a minister because I was in PDP. I was a minister on merit.”
He also said that Former President Olusegun Obasanjo didn’t appoint Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili and himself based on Party Membership.
