The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied offering bribes of $1m, $2m and $10m to different categories of federal legislators to induce their decampment to the ruling party, as alleged on Tuesday by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, the allegation is merely an attempt by the opposition to smear the integrity of the concerned lawmakers.

Metuh expressed the worry of “all well-meaning Nigerians” by the statements and actions of the APC, dismissing them as clearly aimed at destroying the country’s democracy and plunging it into chaos.

“There is no doubt that the PDP, under its new national chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, is reaching out to all its members including those that defected in a reconciliation drive that is already yielding dividends”, Metuh said.

“At a point, in the mind of some sections of the public, the PDP got to its lowest level, but we remained focused. Despite the defections of lawmakers from our fold, the PDP never assaulted their integrity”.
