The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed threats by the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the new leaders of the National Assembly as "empty boasts"

A statement yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the APC was not adequately equipped to handle the affairs of government at the centre, noting that events would continue to prove the PDP right in this regard.

"Nothing can be more astonishing than the whining by the APC that the PDP at the last minute expressed its preference for Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively after it had earlier stated that it was not interested the positions. This calls to question the capacity, experience and skills of APC leaders."
