PDP TO APC : Stop insulting jonathan

National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of mouthing sustained insults against the office and person of the President. The PDP said this is part of a plot to truncate the nation’s democracy. PDP in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, said by hauling insults against a democratically elected president, the APC is directly insulting Nigerians and showing disdain for the institution of democracy. “The national chairman and the National Working Committee of the PDP find it very disturbing that the APC leadership made up of elderly persons who ordinarily should have a sense of self respect and decorum, could condescend so low and resort to the use of uncouth language against the office and person of the President out of sheer frustration, bitterness and envy. “They have continued to show themselves as extremely unpatriotic elements blinded by narrow pursuit of power for very ignoble reasons for which they have contracted foreigners to undermine the government of their own nation using negative paid write-ups and advertorials to dish out lies and vituperations against the Federal Government,” the PDP said. It added that by constantly criticizing every strategy adopted by the President in the war against terrorism, the APC has not only confirmed its preference for insurgency but also exposed its underlining design to distract the government and frustrate the over-all anti- terrorism efforts. “Let it be known to the APC that power belongs only to God and that those who denigrate and disrespect authority at any level will never be entrusted with it,” the party stated.
