The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari against an alleged plot to push for a third term agenda.
The party in a statement issued by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, Wednesday described the alleged plot as a “dangerous underhand politics capable of derailing our democracy and destabilizing our nation”.
The party also berated the statements by the Presidency and the APC as unhealthy ploy to introduce a repugnant issue into official discourse in a bid to give it a life and achieve its “fruition in the political arena”.
The statement further read “the PDP says it is preposterous for the presidency cabal and the APC to think that Nigerians cannot see through their shenanigan to import and elevate what they labeled as rumour and internet-based gossip, into official national discourse.
“Our party notes that Nigerians will not be surprised when, after the statements by the presidency and APC, new groups surface to orchestrate more forceful agitations in the public space for the alteration of the 1999 constitution to achieve an ignoble aim.
“The PDP, however, cautions the presidency and the APC to note that Nigerians are already aware of individuals and political interests in the presidency cabal in addition to known APC agents who are behind the street demonstrations for a third term for President Buhari.
“The party invites Nigerians to note how, having been busted, the presidency cabal and the APC are now groping for ways to cover their trails by making frivolous allegations which directly point back to them.
“The party, therefore, urges President Muhammadu Buhari to personally speak out and immediately call his supporters to order as Nigerians will never allow anybody, no matter how highly placed, to alter any part of our constitution to serve a selfish interest”.
