[MUST READ] PDP Has Ruined Nigeria, Says APC

The All Progressives Congress has said that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party has ruined Nigeria in its 16 years of governing the country.



The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, who said this at an event to mark the six-year anniversary of the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, in Benin, explained that the country had come under hardship in the hands of the Federal Government.

Oyegun lamented that the security situation in the country’s North-East region had continued to worsen by the day despite the presence of the nation’s armed forces.

He said, “Today, the country is being destroyed by the totally clueless, totally purposeless and totally lost PDP.

“The whole town of our Chief of Defence Staff, and Mubi were taken without a single shot being fired.

“The insurgents just walked into Mubi because on political instruction, it seemed that there was no attempt to defend Mubi.”

He commended the state governor for facilitating development in a state which, he said, had suffered neglect under the 10-year leadership of the PDP in the state.

“We are sure the APC is going to win the federal elections in February 2015. I want to tell you the APC will form the next government of this nation, Nigeria,” he added.

On his part, the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, accused the PDP-led Federal Government of starving the APC states of funds, with the purpose of hindering development.

He also faulted the Federal Government’s attitude towards the security challenges in the country and the sufferings of the people in the North-East.

He said that President Goodluck Jonathan had shown that he was insensitive to the plight of the people of Potiskum in Yobe State, who recently lost 46 students to insurgency, by “stepping on their blood and dancing on their graves” when he declared his intention to contest the next year’s presidential election on Tuesday.

“A wise President will stay in the Villa, make the broadcast of his intention to run in the memory of those children.

“He is saying that he will not step on the blood of anybody to be re-elected but he is dancing on their blood.

“No leadership of any nation will sit idle and watch any part of his own territory being taken away by the so-called insurgents.

“Mubi is the second largest commercial town in Adamawa State. If it has been taken by the insurgents, then Mr. President should resign. The bragging of the PDP is empty brag, is a lie, PDP is a peoples destruction party, is a poverty development party,” Tinubu said.

The former governor of Lagos State also described the Independent National Electoral Commission as a siamese twin to the PDP, accusing it (INEC) of creating zero polling units to rig the 2015 general elections instead of creating polling booths close to the voters.

Also speaking, a national leader of the party, Chief Audu Ogbeh, said that he left the PDP because the party had been turned into a “mafia” and had failed in also sectors in the country.

On his part, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, assured the people that the APC would sweep out the ruling PDP next year because the current political system in the country was malfunctioning.
