Ayu Serves APC Quit Notice
The newly inaugurated national Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has told the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to start preparing its handover notes.
Ayu made the call on Friday in his inaugural address shortly after he and other new members of the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) were sworn in.
Ayu and other NWC members of the PDP were sworn in at a ceremony held at the International Convention Center in Abuja.
The PDP boss said that the APC had inflicted nothing but suffering and hardship on Nigerians since it took over power in 2015.
The former Senate President said within the six years in office, APC had damaged the good economy it inherited, caused several job losses, clamped down on free speech, promoted ethnic and religious conflicts, and failed in curbing security challenges.
He said that the PDP would be coming back in 2023 to fix the country.
“To the APC, we, once again, renew our quit notice on you. Begin to prepare your handover notes,” he submitted.
“From the biggest economy in 2015, the APC has given the country two recessions and turned Nigeria into the Poverty Capital of the world. Today, close to 40 million Nigerians have no jobs.
“In the last six years, the APC-led government has mismanaged our diversity; divided the country along regional and religious lines. It has exacerbated religious tensions in the country.
“And through its marriage to nepotism, the incompetent APC Federal Government is fueling secessionist agitations in the East and West of Nigeria.
“Your Excellencies, party faithful, very distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our dear Nigeria is drifting dangerously towards a failed state. Terrorists are now sharing sovereignty with Nigeria. Nigeria is simply ungoverned. Nigeria is collapsing under the leadership of a retired general!
