The United Progressives Party,
UPP, has reacted to the apology made to Nigerians by the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP.
UPP in a statement by its
National Chairman, Chekwas Okorie, noted that it was too late for the PDP to
ask for forgiveness from Nigerians or plan a comeback.
He advised Nigerians to listen to
a former Minster of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, adding that it was only her
that was seeing correctly at the moment.
Okorie said that Nigerians had no
choice when it voted the PDP out because “to allow the party to continue in
power would have been disastrous.”
He further explained that while
the PDP was bad news, the APC was not only poisonous, but had also turned out
to be worse than its predecessor.
His said, “I would just ask
Nigerians to listen to Oby Ezekwesili; I think she is the one that is seeing
correctly. She is leading the right crusade with her red-card movement where
the PDP and the APC are being shown the red card and told not to come back.
“It was a disaster to have voted
Buhari in, but at the time that he came in, Nigerians had no choice, they had
very little options because to allow the PDP to continue in office would have
been disastrous.
“I believe that if we had not
voted them out, this country would have gone under. Sixteen years of misrule
and unprecedented corruption is not something that any sensible person would
want to return to.
“It is wishful thinking on the
part of the PDP to think that Nigerians are so gullible and so forgetful as to
return them to power shortly after they messed the lives of everybody up.
“Nigerians should look for more
credible options instead of putting power in the hands of one party that
immediately becomes dictatorial upon assumption of office and rode roughshod
over citizens.
That was what we suffered in the
hands of the PDP for 16 years and that suffering has continued in the APC.
“From the time the APC was
formed, I was one of those that said that there was no difference between the
APC and the PDP. I said that both were like kettle and pot, and none should call
the other black because they were two sides of the same coin. So, PDP should
not be thinking about coming back to power. PDP is bad news and APC is
poisonous.”
