APC Doing Everything To Scuttle Democracy, PDP Warns

Lai-Metuh1The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lampooned the All Progressives Congress (APC) for its criticism of the judiciary following last Monday’s court order, which declared the defection of 37 members of the House of Representatives as unconstitutional.

A statement by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Sunday, said the attacks on the executive arm of government by the APC as well as the ‘legislative gerrymandering’ and the comments on the judiciary are concrete elements of ‘political nihilism’.

“Why is weird anarchism an option for the APC? Consistently, this party has attacked and denigrated the executive and Nigerians excused it on the desperation of a political party that claims an alternative. It then took on the legislature where its crisis recipe in gerrymandering has yielded no result. Now, the APC is on a renewed aggression on the judiciary. Why is nihilism the APC preferred option?” Metuh asked.

The statement further expressed dismay at why the APC would be waging such a battle knowing fully well its tragic consequences on the institutions of democracy.

“Wherever the APC is drawing this inspiration or motivation is surely far from the continent of democracy and right within the conclave of dictatorship. The APC is doing everything to scuttle democracy”, the ruling PDP warned.
