2015: APC Is Blinded By Desperation For Power – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party blinded by desperation to control federal power following its constant attack on the administration of PresidentGoodluck Jonathan.The PDP made the observation in response to Wednesday’s statement by the APC in which the opposition party accused President Jonathan of impunity and failure.The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said the statement by APC was “a desperate effusion of noise, fury and falsehood which are the unmasked trademark of the Nigerian equivalent of the ancient Athenian thirty tyrants”who would not mind the nationon its knees in quest for power”. Metuh said the recent statement by APC showed that the opposition party “is trading in its best merchandise – falsehood, deceit, blackmail, sheer pernicious propaganda.“This political party, the APC, is the centrifuge of violence in Nigeria, and like the “thirty tyrants “ in the ancient Athens, it’s desperately looking for excuses to truncate democracy and ruin our collective destiny, but Nigerians are not ready to dig in with them,” the PDP spokesman added.
