The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress on Friday engaged in war of words over claim on abandonment of governance.

While the PDP alleged that the desperation by APC governors to win the forthcoming general elections had led to the suspension of most ongoing projects in their states, the opposition party asked the PDP to wait for the peoples verdict on the March 28 poll day.

In a statement in Abuja by Tony Amadi, the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu listed the APC states where governance was suspended to include Kano, Adamawa, Rivers, Kwara and Sokoto, whose governors defected from the PDP.

The statement read, Following the hijack of the five states, Adamawa is back but the remaining four, including Zamfara State, will return to the PDP after the April 11 elections because their governors have used up their treasury to prop the presidential bid of their party.

The governors of the five states left the PDP for over a year and seven months using the PDP manifesto to try and prop up their new allegiance to the APC.

Unfortunately for their new party and their desperation to become the ruling party, they have made little or no progress, thus leaving their states impoverished as they concentrate on spending their states meager resources to support their partys presidential election bid.

They are doing this instead of providing the dividend of democracy to the people.

In Sokoto State, no new project has been started or completed since Governor Maigatakarda Wammako switched to the APC.

His deputy, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, who remained in the PDP, has complained severally that the people of Sokoto are being short-changed because of lack of active governance in the state.
