The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the alleged violent attack on the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has confirmed the final disintegration of the ruling party.
The APC national chairman was allegedly attacked by unknown political thugs, Sunday in Edo state.
The PDP in a statement issued by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, Monday claimed that the open attack clearly shows that the APC has gone asunder in Edo state.
“The fact that the APC members openly took up arms against its leadership is a huge demonstration of their eternal rejection of the APC and the Buhari presidency, particularly for the ruins they have caused our nation.
“For APC members to publicly allegedly call their national chairman a “thief”, as reported in the open media, amply captures the mood of majority of Nigerians, including APC members, that the APC and its government are havens for thieves, criminal gangs and corrupt persons”, he added.
Ologbondiyano also stated that “the indisputable fact among Nigerians was that the APC has become torn apart within its core. The manifest greed of its leaders, particularly, in the Presidential villa, in addition to endless infighting over positions and looted resources has further exposed the party as a soulless mob.
The statement further reads “the APC has never been a genuine platform for governance. It has neither the predisposition nor the design for operable people-oriented policy and programmes. If anything, it has remained a special purpose vehicle, for power grabbing, hijacked by an oppressive and exploitative cabal, who has no iota of interest in the welfare of Nigerians.
“Indeed, the propensity of APC leaders at looting our common patrimony as well as the total neglect of the living conditions of the masses, whose mandate they had stolen, has become a huge source of anger and resentment in the hearts of Nigerians.
“Nigerians expect Oshiomhole to respond to the demands of his party members, who are chasing him around like a common tout and for which he was reported to have hidden in a hotel in Benin City.
“Is it not absurd for a National Chairman of a political party that claims to have won an election just a few months back to require the services of truck load of police men and personal thugs to escape from Benin to Abuja?
“The Edo incident reminds of how the APC National Chairman also allegedly fled the nation at the heat of his reported interrogation by the Department of State Services (DSS) in 2018 over alleged corruption charges.
“The PDP however encouraged Nigerians not to despair. There is always an end to any platform that does not have the care of the people as its primary goal in governance”.
