The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has begged Nigerians not to allow the former ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP return to power in 2027.
This is even as the current ruling party, APC described the opposition PDP as a political platform that is gradually going into extinction. This, the party said is because of the perennial leadership crises that have dogged the opposition of late.
APC, therefore, urged Nigerians to ensure that the PDP did not return to power. The party pointed that the call as a result of the rot the PDP left behind after ruling the country for 16 years
The appeal was contained in a statement by the National Publicity Director of the APC, Bala Ibrahim, in an interview with Sunday PUNCH.
He said, “Nigeria is still suffering from the rots of the 16-year misrule of the PDP. That party is gone. Are these the clowns’ people are taking seriously to rule this country again? Believe me, this is just the beginning. We at the APC are enjoying the entertainment.
“The party is not good at managing anything, including itself. What is happening has shown that God came to the rescue of Nigerians by pushing them out of power
“There are more to come if you go into the nitty-gritty of the problems in that party. They should come and learn how to play politics in our APC Progressive Institute set up by the National Chairman of the APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje. They will be taught how to play politics without bitterness.”
Ibrahim dismissed the allegation that APC is responsible for the crises in the opposition parties in the country.
He said, “How is the APC responsible for the crisis that is happening at Wadata Plaza (PDP headquarters in Abuja)? We are not even staying close. So, how can they blame us for their woes? What does APC have to do with having two different secretaries and two chairmen. Or whatever they seem to have?
“They simply don’t know how to administer anything, and they cannot. Who among the protestants is a card-carrying member of the APC? Who among the people causing the crisis is claiming allegiance to APC? None. It is within them.”
Recall that PDP’s effort to arresting and resolving its myriads of challenges is not making the desired result, even as 2027 is fast approaching.
Even in its latest efforts to resolving the leadership crisis in the party, the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was notably absent.
The meeting, which held on Thursday, was attended by the three PDP Governors from the Northeast region.
They are Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, his counterpart in Taraba State, Dr Agbu Kefas, and Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.
Also, in attendance were members of the PDP Reconciliation Committee, led by former National Secretary Olagunsoye Oyinlola. Others were some serving Senators, House of Representatives members, and State Assembly members from the zone.
