Ruling All Progressives Congress on Friday told the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party to keep quiet while President Muhammadu Buhari clears the 16 years “rot they foisted” on Nigeria.
PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, had during a press conference on Friday, in Abuja, asked President Buhari to resign over the spate of killings in the country and alleged massive corruption in his government.
But the APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, in a swift reaction, said nobody expected the PDP to provide ideas on good governance going by their alleged inglorious past and antecedents.
APC said the PDP’s call was not unconnected with the “impending mass defections set to hit the failed opposition party.”
APC said, “Nigeria deserves a vibrant, purposeful and credible opposition not the laughing stock we have been subjected to in the name of the opposition PDP.
“It is well within the rights of PDP members to abandon a rudderless and sinking ship for the progressive fold.
“We are particularly gladdened by the return of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara to the APC.“As we work collectively to achieve the Nigeria of our dreams, we will no doubt encounter challenges along the way. But one thing is sure. Under the focused and sincere leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, we are already delivering on key electoral promises of securing the nation, fighting corruption and improving the economy and livelihoods.”
