The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party of “political vampires” who thrive on “sucking the blood” of the people and inflicting unbearable pain and suffering on Nigerians. said.
The PDP further said that the APC is a den of power grabbers, treasury looters and manipulators whose sole purpose is to “rob, snatch and run away” with our nation’s assets at the expense of millions of our people. He said there was.
The main opposition party said this in a statement by its National Public Relations Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Monday.
The PDP condemned the APC attack on Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for “representing the Nigerian masses who have been subjected to untold hardship by the APC regime”, calling the attack reckless, insensitive and a show of failed arrogance. He said it was a reprehensible display.
Mr. Ologunagba further said, “The attack on Governor Makinde comes as Nigerians saw through his lies, deceit, misrepresentation, repressive policies and gross incompetence in governance, knowing that the APC’s days were numbered. “This confirms that we are nervous,” he added.
“Governor Makinde has a remarkable track record of prioritizing the needs of the people of Oyo State as well as working with other governors elected on the platform of the PDP as seen in the numerous development projects in Oyo State. ” in the pursuit of development, preserving democracy, and resisting the APC’s plans to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.
“This is truly an attack on the sensibilities of Nigerians, with deteriorating security, severe economic hardship, widespread famine and famine, comatose infrastructure, a dysfunctional productive sector, a weak currency, and an unemployment rate of over 36%. Amidst the closure of millions of businesses, despair and general despondency, all caused by the irresponsible anti-people policies of the APC administration, the APC is living in an alternate reality, with Nigeria “on the cusp of prosperity.” “Yes,” he arrogantly claims.
The PDP accused the APC government led by President Bola Tinubu of destroying the economy and creating high hardship in the country.
Ologunagba continued, “Despite our party failing on all fronts and reversing all the gains of the PDP in governance over 16 years, the APC continues to deceive the people with lies and false performance claims. “I think it’s foolish to think that you can do that.” It has turned our once economically prosperous country into the poverty capital of the world, leaving more than 100 million Nigerians unable to afford daily meals and other basic necessities.
“Today, under the APC Voodoo economy, the naira which was exchanging at ₦168 to the dollar under the PDP at ₦168 to the dollar, now exchanges at nearly ₦2,000 to the dollar and ₦87 to the liter. A bag of rice that used to sell for ₦100,000 now sells for more than ₦1,500 in different parts of India; a bag of rice that used to sell for ₦8,000 now sells for ₦250. A measure of beans that was sold for ₦3,800 now sells for ₦1,500, and gari that used to sell for ₦100 now sells for ₦1,500.
“What is even more worrying is that while Nigerians are experiencing dire hardship, corrupt APC leaders are busy looting the national treasury to fund their lavish appetites and consumption. That’s true.
“It is therefore surprising that as the days move towards 2027, the APC is resorting to data manipulation, politicization of issues, and personal attacks against outspoken Nigerians, as seen in the riot against Governor Makinde. isn’t it.
“Governor Makinde and indeed other PDP state governors have carried out their mandate in a big way as seen in the amazing infrastructure, human capital and people empowerment projects underway in PDP states that are worthy of the admiration of Nigerians. In fact, PDP countries continue to be an oasis of development compared to APC-dominated countries.
The PDP spokesperson called on the APC to accept its failures, adding that the lifespan of the party would end in February 2027.
“The APC should stop its shenanigans, accept its failures and accept the fact that its lifespan cannot last beyond February 2027 in the face of gross failures of governance. Consigned to political oblivion by Nigerians, this is where the APC contraption truly belongs,” Ologunagba added.
