Lanre Issa-Onilu, spokesman of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), says 2018 was tough for the ruling party
because it confronted monsters.
In a statement on Tuesday,
Issa-Onilu said some monsters had found their way into the APC during the
merger in 2014 but defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after
inflicting damages to the party.
He said the defectors from the
party constituted themselves as a stumbling-block for the APC administration
using their vantage position in government.
The APC spokesman alleged that
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, paid huge amount of money to
con men in Dubai who posed as strategists to discredit President Muhammadu
Buhari and leaders of the party ahead of the 2019 general election.
“The year 2018 was significant in
many ways. Importantly, we witnessed in this past year the shameful attempt by
the political predators to launch themselves back into reckoning,” the
statement read.
“Those who were roundly rejected
by Nigerians in 2015 for their grievous crimes of corruption, impunity, and
maladministration once again struggled to rise up from the dungeon the people
of this country had dumped them. They were fierce and reckless in their wicked
attempt to return to power to continue their primitive appropriation of our
commonwealth for themselves and their immediate family.
“The actions from these elements
who have raped our nation for close to two decades were disruptive to the
course of progress being vigorously pursued by the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration. The year 2018 particularly was a tough year for the
APC government as we had to confront the monsters who have found their way into
the ruling party during the merger in 2014, pretending to have cured themselves
of their insatiable greed and callous selfish disposition.
“Predictably, the forces of evil
finally gravitated towards themselves and are now ensconced in their wicked
nest, called the PDP.
“Unfortunately, they did a lot of
damage to our determined efforts in the last three and half years, by
constituting themselves into a stumbling-block, using their vantage position in
government in conjunction with their associates outside of government who have
been deploying their ill-gotten wealth to pervert justice, create a state of
insecurity, propagate falsehood and promote dissent. It was a callous strategy
design to pull the wool over the eyes of the people of this country.”
Issa-Onilu said the country is
leaving behind the years of the locusts under the PDP as the president is
laying a solid foundation for a prosperous future.
“It is obvious that the PDP has
found itself in a fix. Many in the leadership of the main opposition party are
finding it difficult to identify with a character like Atiku and many of the
charlatans running the PDP campaign are unsellable,” the statement read.
“As the ruling party on a rescue
mission, we call on all well-meaning people of this country to keep the faith
with this administration. The graphs are on the positive upward swing.
President Buhari is laying a solid foundation for a prosperous future. We must
endure and be steadfast.
“We have already turned the
corner, leaving behind the years of the locusts under the PDP. We are headed
towards a future that guarantees stability, economic buoyancy, world class
infrastructure, reward for hard work and for honesty, and the security of our
nation. PDP remains our collective national vomit. We shall never go back to
it.”
