APC Wants PDP Dead - Gov. Fayose Alleges
Fayose has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of covertly
plotting for the demise of the main opposition party, PDP, due to its
alleged intolerance of the tenets of democracy.
Speaking in Port Harcourt on Wednesday on the sideline of the national convention of the PDP, Mr. Fayose said such a development would not, however, be in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.
In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.
Mr. Fayose, who could not attend the convention owing to the blockade of the road leading to the Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State government house where he was accommodated, said the condoning off of the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt by the police on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had the input of the APC-led Federal Government. He said the police only acted the script written by the APC-led government.
“I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.
‘”The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere. All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition. What business has APC with PDP internal matters?
“If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn’t they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?
They don’t have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be emboldened to challenge them,” he said.
The governor wondered what would have happened if the PDP acted like the APC and refused to hand over to the APC last year.
Ayodele Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused the All Progressives Congress
of having a hand in the leadership crisis of the People's Democratic
Party, PDP, which recently experienced failure in its well-publicised
party convention which was slated to take place in the South-south part
of Nigeria.
Fayose said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dead because the APC does not want a
virile opposition to challenge its obnoxious policies and inability to
tackle the problems confronting the country, according to Premium
Times.
Speaking in Port Harcourt on Wednesday on the sideline of the national convention of the PDP, Mr. Fayose said such a development would not, however, be in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.

The ruling APC has frequently denied complicity in the woes of the
PDP that celebrated the membership of Ali Modu Sheriff before events
went south.
