The APC also urged the opposition party to apologize to Nigerians for the havoc wreaked during its disastrous 16-year rule.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) totally destroyed Nigeria’s economy.
The APC also urged the opposition party to apologize to Nigerians for the havoc wreaked during its disastrous 16-year rule.
The ruling party made the comments via a statement released by Segun Dipe, the Media Aide to Chairman, John Oyegun.
The statement reads in part:
“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’.”
Oyegun had earlier told the PDP to “shut up” and stop presenting itself as an alternative to the APC.
