The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the leaked audio tape by the Director General of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rotimi Amaechi.
Fielding questions from journalists at a press conference on Sunday in Abuja, Kola Ologbondiyan, Director, Media & Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO), said the audio tape by the Minister of Transportation, reveals the deceit in the governing party.
Amaechi was reported to have been caught on tape criticising President Muhammadu Buhari.
The audio clip posted by Reno Omokri, an aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, on his Twitter handle, echoes a voice which he attributed to Amaechi purportedly saying “Buhari neither reads nor listens to anyone.”

However, the voice could not be authenticated by BusinessDay.
In the said audio allegedly attributed to Amaechi, was a voice saying, “The President is not listening to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write anything you want. The President doesn’t care. Does he read?”
Reacting to the development, Ologbondiyan said the tape reveals the lies and deceits the governing party employed in winning the 2015 elections.
He said: “PDP’s comments on audio tape of Amaechi talking of the audio tape making the rounds in social media concerning the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, I think he has a huge responsibility to defend himself.
“But if his principal, President Buhari, feels that the tape is normal, it is not our business in the PDP. What is out in the public domain is just a demonstration to Nigerians about the lies, deceptions, contrivances and beguilement that APC deployed to win the 2015 election. It shows that they have no plans, no agenda, no vision in whatever form as far as governance is concerned for Nigerians.
“And if one member of their own inner Caucus has come out to admit that this was we said, it is not within the purview of the PDP”.
