The Minister of Information, Lai
Mohammed, has spoken on the chances of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election.
Mohammed told newsmen in Lagos
that the APC will retain power because the people were not ready to go back to
“hell”.
His words: “As to whether we
are afraid of whether we are afraid of the PDP staging a comeback, I can
confidently tell you that we are not even contemplating it.
”It will be a tragedy for
Nigeria to fall back into the hands of PDP. They dropped us in hell and we are
taking people out of hell.”
On threats by the Niger Delta
Avengers to return to the creeks to destroy oil installations, he said
government was worried as the situation would bring the country back to its
knees.
“And that is why we are appealing
to them. We have not breached any agreement with them and we will rather appeal
to them to understand that there is more to gain by all sides in engaging than
in going back to the trenches.
“Even power has improved in the
Niger Delta. Infrastructure has improved. Contractors can now go and work
there. We are talking of University of Maritime Technology in the Niger Delta,
Second Niger bridge and East- West road.
“I think what they are fighting
for will be achieved much more if there is peace and we will continue our
engagements with them because it will not be in the interest of anybody to have
crisis.”
