APC hails PDP's communique as devoid of substance
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed as baseless the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) accusations of a plot to create a one-party totalitarian state. In a response to the PDP communiqué issued following its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, the APC's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described it as a soothing lullaby intended to pacify troubled PDP members.
The PDP, in its communiqué, condemned President Bola Tinubu's economic policies and alleged that Nigeria is in a despondent state under his administration. Furthermore, the party announced its resistance to the APC's alleged attempt to transform Nigeria into a one-party state.
Morka, in an interview with The Nation, urged the PDP to direct its attention towards resolving its persistent internal crisis rather than blaming the APC for its problems, including declining membership. The APC, he assured, remains committed to President Tinubu's mission of building a prosperous Nigeria.
Recent years have seen the PDP grapple with significant internal divisions[1][2], resulting in predictions of its potential collapse by the end of 2025. The party has also witnessed a number of lawmakers defecting to the APC, strengthening the APC's influence in the legislative chambers[4].
The political landscape in Nigeria remains marked by the PDP's struggle to maintain unity and the APC's efforts to consolidate its power[3].
