The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the fresh revelation that the All Progressives Congress (APC)brims with “political bandits” has further confirmed why the APC has visited our nation with so much violence, power grabbing, election malpractices, human right abuses, unbridled looting and divisive policies under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The revelation has also further established why our nation can never move forward or have rest under an APC administration and why its government is bedeviled with confusion and insensitivity.
Peoples Democratic Party Spokesperson Kola Ologbondiyan in a statement said the revataion also showcases the reasons for the complete failure of governance and command structure in every sector of our national life under the APC
The PDP asserts that the statement credited to the Director General of the Progressive Governors’Forum, Dr. Salihu Lukman, that some APC leaders behave like ‘criminal bandits” further exposes the APC as no better than a pillaging and treasury looting gang.
Our party invites Nigerians to further note the assertion by the PGF DG that some APC leaders are as skillful in politics as the criminal bandits ravaging our communities, towns andvillages”.
“This explains why our nation has never had a peaceful and credible election under the APC but always dragged into a political landmine of power grabbing, violence, killings, arson and continuous assault on our laws and the sensibility of Nigerians.”
“It also explains why our once robust economy has been plundered to the extent that our ance
prosperous fatherland has been reduced to a debtor and beggar as well as the world poverty capital with
worsened corruption rating, just in a space of fiveyears.”
He said further “Today, under the political bandit-ridden APC abuse of human rights, extra-judicial killings,suppression of the media, clampdown on dissenting voices and other such impunity are becoming a new normal while our dear nation now ranks as third country with the highest level of terrorism after Iran and
Afghanistan, according to Global Terrorism Index rating by the Institute for Economics and Peace(IEP).
It is therefore clear that the APC is a party that should never have been trusted or even allowed to
hold office at any level. The APC has brought untold harm to our nation and should find a place in its
predatory heart to apologize to the millions of Nigerians who have fallen prey to its viciousness in
governance.”
“With this revelation, Nigerians expect a few credible individuals still trapped in the APC to immediately leave this pirate ship before it is toolate.
On our part, we call on Nigerians to remain calm and united in leveraging on the opportunities granted
by democracy in the quest to rescue and reposition our country in the nationalinterest.” He concluded
