Alake's words:
"They (PDP) will say that, they will even say worse. That is very mild coming from them.
“We expect them to say worse because all the time they were in government, they lacked the gut, mental capacity, physical resourcefulness and vision to do what the government has done or accomplished within three short weeks.
“They lacked that mental capacity, physical wherewithal, and managerial acumen to achieve those bold goals, so they have to be envious.
“So, it is normal, it is natural. If I were you, there is no news in what they have said. It is expected."
