PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ATIKU ARE TOXIC TO NIGERIA DEMOCRACY, SAYS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Hear him, ‘dead-end opposition being played by Abubakar and the PDP could be toxic for the nation’s democracy, if left unchecked. Never in the history of politics in Nigeria has an opposition party and its Presidential candidate exhibited the kind of desperate tactics being deployed by the duo of the PDP and its flag-bearer, especially since President Muhammadu Buhari overwhelmingly defeated Atiku to win the 2019 presidential election,”

The Minister claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential flagbearer were trying to sabotage the federal government, adding, “either by themselves or via their proxies, the PDP and its Presidential candidate are doing everything possible to sabotage the Buhari Administration’.

‘Generally overheat the polity and make Nigeria seemingly ungovernable, especially through their public utterances and their poorly-thought-out press releases before and after the 2019 general elections. Unless they quickly retrace their steps, they may, sooner than later, overreach themselves,” he said.

 “Also, in recent times, the PDP has taken its desperation to a new low by attacking the judiciary, an action many see as indicating a reversal of the party’s hitherto self-assured stance that it has a solid case against the election of the President,” he said.
