In the statement, the
ruling party challenged the PDP to be “contrite” of its past mistakes of
looting and destroying the nation’s economy instead of putting itself as an
alternative to a government that is “barely a year on office.”
The All Progressives
Congress, APC, has charged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to apologise to
Nigerians for its 16- years of misrule that has brought about hardship in the
country.
The call was contained in a
statement issued yesterday in Abuja by the media aide to the APC National
Chairman, Segun Dipe.
The statement reads, “Due
to PDP’s perfidy, our country’s resources were stolen and opportunities
frittered away. But instead of being contrite, the PDP is arrogantly putting
itself up as the alternative to a government that is barely one year in office
and has inherited a totally ruined economy. This is brazenly irresponsible.
“What the nation can now
testify to is that the only thing that united the PDP was their singular
commitment to milking the resources of this nation dry, as evident in all the
corruption cases that have now been exposed.
“The PDP cannot therefore
expect to move on without first taking responsibility for their shameful
conduct and ignominious behaviour. The starting point in their long journey to
rehabilitation is to apologise to Nigerians
“It is immoral,
insensitive, unconscionable and unacceptable for the PDP to hire spin doctors
to reel out some figures of GDP growth in their time that never impacted
positively on the Nigerian people. Our advice to the party chieftains is that
the time is now for them to look Nigerians in the eye and say, ‘we are sorry.”
