Action Congress (AC), yesterday said the immediate past Chairman of the PDP, Ahmadu Ali, has miscalculated if he thinks anyone will be sorry for him by peddling the news that his house in Abuja was demolished unjustly.
In a statement issued in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Ali's case has shown there is some truth, after all, in the saying that what goes around comes around.
It said through the demolition, whether justly or otherwise, Ali was only given a taste of the bitter pills that the party he presided over for so long gave, and is still giving to millions ofNigerians, who have been dehumanised by the PDP-federal government's ill-conceived policies.
The party said "it was even more amusing that Ali is now pointing accusing fingers at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the man he never missed a chance to hail as the father, or is it grandfather of modern Nigeria and the best thing to ever happen to the country.

"Obasanjo has only been out of power for less than a year, and Ali Must Go is now singing a different tune. This man really has no shame.
"He is crying over the demolition of one his mansions in Abuja, has he ever given a thought to those who have been rendered homeless by Nasir el-Rufai's rampaging bulldozers?
"Is he aware that dozens of Nigerians reportedly died as a result of the demolition under the PDP government when he was chairman? Does he really think he deserves pity from Nigerians?" AC queried.
