…Asks President Buhari to look inwards

BY EVELYN DADU, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday stressed that it is imperative to state that the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are being haunted by their own shadows, saying that Nigerians know the persons as well as the political party with the history and penchant to scuttle democratically elected government.

 The PDP said that it believes that the statement by the Buhari Presidency is an attempt by the APC to heighten political tension in the country ahead of the 2023 election, having realized that they cannot face the people at the polls.

This is as the PDP described as a resort to blackmail in the face of failure the allegation by the Buhari Presidency that some Nigerians were plotting a forceful and undemocratic change of leadership.

The PDP however advises the Buhari-led APC government to know that such blackmail against Nigerians cannot help their cause.

It noted that rather than live up to the responsibilities of office by taking charge and securing the nation, the Presidency is busy engaging in frivolous allegations against Nigerians.

The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan further said that perhaps, the Presidency has forgotten that in 1983, Brigadier Muhammadu Buhari, as he was then known, led a military coup to truncate a democratically elected government thereby causing the nation a huge drawback on democratic governance.

In the words of the PDP; “Also, in 2015, the APC, which was hurriedly formulated, made itself available as a vehicle of brigandage to disrupt our political process by beguiling Nigerians and taking power through violence, propaganda and falsehood.

“Even in 2019, Nigerians will be quick to remember how the APC imported bandits, vandals and thugs from neighboring countries, as political mercenaries, to unleash violence, disrupt our voting processes and muscle itself to power”.

The PDP therefore counseled the Buhari Presidency and the APC to look inwards as all fingers toward any possible plots to upturn the nation’s democracy point to them.

“For us in the PDP, our party will remain undeterred, alongside other patriotic Nigerians, in our commitment towards the sustenance and stability of our democracy as well as the unity and corporate existence of our country, Nigeria,” it stressed.
