The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that the attitude and character of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have manifestly shown that it was mortally afraid to stand election in 2023, given that Nigerians have seen through their antics, and were determined not to have anything to do with such deceitful, beguiling, divisive and incompetent party in future elections.
The PDP also said that three years to the 2023 general election, the APC has successfully turned President Muhammadu Buhari into a lame duck, given the manifest failure of his administration in all sectors of national life.
The PDP also said that the frenzy by the APC to commence the 2023 election campaign, just a year into Buhari’s second tenure of four years in office, further confirms that the party leaders were now looking beyond APC’s current structure and government, having realized that the next three years under the Buhari-led administration would be a waste.
The party asserted that the underground moves by APC leaders to disown the Buhari administration, given its failures; the conversation about possible change of their party’s name as well as the plot to destabilize the PDP, were signs of desperation to hold on to power despite APC’s failures and explicit rejection by Nigerians.
These were contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in which the party noted that discerning Nigerians have seen through the rambling of the APC, which is merely raising dusts to foul the political firmament in a bid to cover for its lack of internal cohesion, failure in governance and reneging on the promises they made to Nigerians in other to have access to power.
The PDP further said; “APC has shown that it is a party without conscience; the reason it has failed, in the last five years, to bring together a Board of Trustees (BoTs) that ought to serve as the custodian of its supposed ideals and principles.
“It is, therefore, not surprising that under five years, the APC has remained inchoate, uncoordinated, rudderless and totally unable to operate a steady and stable national leadership; a situation that shows why their administration is plagued with confusion, infighting, widespread corruption and collapse of central command structure of governance.”
