Click here to follow the previous article on the issue.

Babatope has said that his party will hang the portrait of the President in its national headquarters at the Wadata Plaza, in Abuja. He made the statement while speaking to The Punch yesterday, 9th of September.

According to him, the President’s portrait should be hanged although the PDP leadership was trying to make a point by not hanging it.

Babtope said:

“The President represents Nigeria. He does not represent the narrow and parochial interest of the All Progressives Congress. He represents the larger interest of the people.

“The PDP may be making some points and I think Nigerians should hear them out before crucifying the party.

“The PDP will hang President Buhari’s portrait. Nigerians have spoken through the ballot. They’ve shown their preference for Buhari and we have accepted their verdict.

“We shouldn’t really have any problems with the portrait of Buhari. The APC should not try to mislead Nigeria.”
