"APC is the Centrifuge of Violence in Nigeria"- Metuh Strikes Back
Reacting to the All Progressives Congress(APC)'s
recent attack, which termed President Jonathan as
Nigeria's no 1 enemy, leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP) has attacked the
opposition party, accusing it of subjecting people
in their states to harsh economic realities, and
calling national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a
breeder of corruption.
Olisa Metuh, spokesman of PDP in a statement
maintained that the record of Jonathan is
unprecedented in the history of the country.
“Corruption, this corruption, a regular sing song
of the APC, a party that has deliberately grown
forgetful of the fact that corruption walks on four
in the states under its control and that in its
topmost leadership,” He said.
“In the Emperor of Bourdilion lies the pantheon
of corruption. The people of Ekiti grew wiser and
shook off a regime of internal colonialism, of
high taxation, of outrageous contract pricing and
of the overlordship of greed of few over their
commonwealth.
“The APC is trading in its best merchandise –
falsehood, deceit, blackmail, sheer pernicious
propaganda. This political party, the APC is the
centrifuge of violence in Nigeria, and like the
‘thirty tyrants’ in the ancient Athen, is
desperately looking for excuses to truncate
democracy and ruin our collective destiny…” he
said.
“No doubt the APC is afraid and bitter that its
prematurely celebrated electoral fortunes, its
vaunted popularity to win the 2015 election is
being gradually smashed to its face as mere
illusion. It lost Ekiti to popular votes and is afraid
that in Osun where its divisive ideology has
created an acrimonious division in its educational
system amidst non performance in other sectors, it
will also fall, hence must heap the blame on
President Jonathan. The APC is clearly looking
for grounds for fancied violence and subsequent
truncation of democracy. ”
“On the contrary, the Freedom of Information Act
meant to arm every Nigerian in fight against
corruption, which Lagos, the APC flagship is
refusing to domesticate till today, was in the
cooler for nearly a decade until President
Jonathan dusted it and passed same into law. In
speech, in action and in body language, President
Jonathan has left nobody in doubt of his
principled stand on the rule of law and
transparency and only in the narrow world of
mischief of the APC does this matter less. “
