"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. “
