PDP Accuses APC Of Destabilisation Plot
PDP Accuses APC Of Destabilisation Plot
The All Progressive congress (APC) has been described as agent of destabilization seeking to truncate the transition through its disguised call for interim government. The party’s desperation for presidential powers has made it to submit itself to all forms of wicked and shameful methods which clearly does not have basis in the supreme law of the land. Spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential campaign Organisation (PCO), chief femi fani-Kayode said this yesterday at a press conference held in Abuja where he dismissed the allegation by the opposition party that the PDP was not ready for the february 14 general elections.
Instead, the presidential campaign organisation spokesman said that it is the APc that is not ready for the elections which informed her disguised call for Interim Government on allegation that it is the ruling party that is not prepared and sues for postponement. Fani-Kayode stressed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has the powers on holding the elections or postponement of the elections within her independent powers guaranteed by the constitution and upheld by the Jonathan administration.
According to Fani-Kayode, the APC desperation for power has also made it lost focus on its preparation for the elections; hence it imported unrestrained violence into the nation’s body politics. He called on Nigerians to call the APC to order stating enough is enough of the party’s illusive flight of self importance. “The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Campaign Organisation have inundated the Nigerian people with allegations that the Peoples Democratic Party-controlled Federal Government is not ready for the scheduled February 14 and 28 general elections and that it is plotting to scuttle the process with a view to emplacing an Interim National Government. “These allegations are disingenuous, tenuous and shameful.
Rather than elevate the APC, this resort to mendacity and scaremongering further reduces them to a gang of desperadoes seeking power by all means and simply for the sake of it. “This is because it is common knowledge that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not provide for the Interim Nation Government contraption that the APC talks about. APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has taken it upon
himself to play the devil’s advocate by building up seemingly scary scenarios to create tension, cause panic in the polity and incite supporters of his party and well-meaning Nigerians against the Federal Government, President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP. “The PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation calls on the Nigerian people to discountenance APC and Lai Mohammed’s petty lies and they can be rest assured that all arms of government are patriotically committed to discharging their constitutionally-prescribed responsibilities and duties.
We believe that the APC’s unconscionable alarm is part of its characteristic and habitual propaganda through which it has over and over again imposed its skewed agenda on many undiscerning Nigerians. We are constrained to take this opportunity to paint an accurate portrait of the APC and its leaders. It is time for us to expose them for what they really are. The truth is that they are agents of destabilisation. They comprise of retrogressive elements that are desperate to take power just for the sake of it. If they ever succeed in taking power in this country, God forbid, they will take the country back into darkness because they represent darkness and everything that is reprehensible. “We, as a party, will not allow them to damage the good work that the PDP, most especially the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, has done to transform our nation.
The APC can go on its illusive flight of self-importance, but it is now increasingly clear to every Nigerian at home and in the Diaspora as well as members of the International Community that the opposition party is excessively desperate for presidential power and has imported unrestrained violence into our body-politic. “The truth is that they cannot win the forthcoming elections and they know it. That is why they have come up with the allegation of Interim National Government. We repeat: those who want Interim National Government are the APC and some elements that are secretly behind their party. Their plan is to prepare a fertile ground upon which to discredit our anticipated victory at the polls, unleash anarchy and violence on the country after they lose so that we would not be able to enjoy our victory. “By the grace of God and the support of a vast majority of Nigerians, their plan will fail. The nation is already subjected to a dress rehearsal of the monumental violence that the APC is planning. You can see how the party has attacked virtually everyone except itself. It is time that all Nigerians of goodwill told the APC that enough is enough.
