The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said three recent incidents had shown that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, would never change its style of governance, which it claimed had brought Nigeria to its knees.<\/p>\n
The party made the call yesterday against the backdrop of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s 10-day \u2018private trip\u2019 to the United Kingdom without a formal communication to the National Assembly.<\/p>\n
PDP\u2019s Deputy Publicity Secretary, Diran Odeyemi, in a statement, called for a coalition of political parties in Nigeria to \u2018rescue\u2019 the country from the ruling APC.<\/p>\n
Odeyemi said Buhari\u2019s trip without formally informing the National Assembly went beyond disregard for the legislative arm of government to \u201ca gross violation of the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also said President Buhari and the APC were \u201cdetermined to foist a leadership on the National Assembly so as to annex that arm of government, force a docile leadership on the parliamentarians and continue illegality that hallmarked the present administration since it came on board.\u201d<\/p>\n
He wondered why a party that had not justified a mandate it has would be talking about 2023 presidency.<\/p>\n
He urged Nigerians to join hands with the PDP to stop APC and redirect the ship of the country to a safe harbour.<\/p>\n
\u201cHas the party justified the temporary stay it is currently occupying let alone seeking another term in far away 2023? APC must have concluded that Nigerians are gullible,\u201d the statement partly read.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly a president that has no regard for the governed would disregard for the law of the land and travel out of the country \u201con a private visit\u201d without delegating governance to the Vice President as stipulated in the constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe in PDP have demonstrated over and over again our readiness to lead the rescue mission that would save Nigeria from her tormentors and save a once blossoming country made \u2018poverty headquarters\u2019 by APC. We are only calling on other parties to join hands with us to defeat our common enemies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
