The national leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to take on the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) if its leaders failed to stop denigrating the office of the President through their utterances, warning that enough is enough.
In a statement today by the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, PDP warned leaders, governors and elders of APC to respect the office of the President of the country and stop insulting him. The ruling party said that the actions of the opposition are posing threat to the very survival of democracy and Nigeria as a nation.
The PDP noted that while it is preparing for the 2015 general elections with a view to winning, APC is actively planning to scheme itself into power in 2015, using violent uprising as replacement for planned peaceful polls.
“PDP will no longer condone the deliberate, unwarranted and sustained vicious attacks on the person and office of the President, the institutions of democracy and the unity of the nation by the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.
“The PDP will no longer fold its hands while the desperate desire of the APC for power unchains undisciplined impulses and actions posing a threat to the very survival of democracy and the nation.
“The PDP has been watching carefully as the rank and file of the APC, the governors, party leaders, presidential hopefuls and even sidekicks run amok, competing in a heavily subjective castigation of President Goodluck Jonathan with incendiary utterances, signposting its plans for the dastardly when it loses in next year’s general elections.” [myad]
