The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Abdulahi Adamu, has lamented that the main opposition party, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), is engaging in propaganda to discredit the ruling party
ahead of the 2023 elections.
Adamu stated this Tuesday when a group of APC Professionals
led by former Governor of Bauchi state, Isa Yuguda, visited him at the national
secretariat of the party in Abuja.
Adamu decried that most of the programmes of the APC-led
administration were not getting to the grassroots because leadership at that
level was driven by those who are not educated.
His words: “One thing which I want to make some reference to
is the fact of the position of your forum itself. If you listen to our
political activities, one thing you may wish to take a serious look at and see
how best you can be of some assistance to our effort is the activity of the
party at the grassroots where it mattered most.
“Leadership at this level is being driven by those who are
not educated, they are very vulnerable, very, extremely vulnerable.
“So, we need to imbibe the culture of an enlightened
leadership driven by knowledge. We don’t all have to be graduates or diploma
holders, but an enlightened mind is open and it is a bit narrow for now. This
is missing in our effort to get people to appreciate who we are as a party,
what we are doing as a party, how we can be appreciated as a party
“We are having the misfortune of the effort of this
government not getting to the grassroots – positive publicity of what this
government is doing. All that those who care to talk want to say is about the
negative aspect of government
“We know that all over the world,the opposition is seen as
the underdog and so there is apparent sympathy for them. I have no quarrel with
this. Go and sympathize with them but call a spade a spade. Don’t give a dog a
bad name in order to hang it.
“This is what we are experiencing. This is what we are
experiencing. All the good things that have happened thus far in this
administration have not received the kind of publicity it deserves.”
