The Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government as destructive.
The party’s stance was made known through its acting state Publicity Secretary, Michael Ogunsina.
Ogunsina was reacting to the comments by APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, who condemned Governor Seyi Makind for his attack on President Bola Tinubu.
“Instead of prioritising the needs of the Oyo people who elected him to tackle their local issues, he has chosen to divert his attention and squander the state’s resources in pursuit of unhinged 2027 ambition,” Morka said.
In reaction, Ogunsina said Makinde’s remark about the country’s situation mirrors nothing but the truth.
Part of the statement read: “We believe that the APC statement was very unnecessary, wrongly directed and wrongly themed. If the APC and its Federal Government are doing well and the people are happy with them, why would they see Makinde’s statement as an attack on their government?
“Instead of boasting of positive achievements, we note that the only offering the APC has for the people in that abusive press statement is the promise of what it called ‘looming prosperity.’ That is a shame!
“We urge Nigerians to demand from the APC what it meant by ‘looming prosperity’ after almost two years in power wrecking businesses, unleashing poverty and inflicting unprecedented suffering on the people of Nigeria through its wrong policies.
“Instead of abusing Gov Makinde, we implore the APC to reappraise itself and think deeply about why it decided to impoverish the people and wreck our country contrary to its 2023 promise of prosperity for all.
“It should, in fact, thank our governor for waking it up to the reality that all future elections will be a referendum on the APC for its wickedness and maladministration.”
