The Presidency said Nigeria’s main Opposition Party, the People’s Democratic Party PDP has given itself away as being interested only in the destabilisation of the country, and peradventure it could then sneak its way back to power.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity. Femi Adesina made the declaration in a message he issued in Abuja on Tuesday.
Adesina said: “Less than 24 hours after the Department of State Services DSS raised alarm about sinister plots by some elements to cause disorder in the land, using the energy crisis as a smokescreen, the PDP issued a statement, saying; “Our party fears that the situation is getting to a boiling point and can trigger a nationwide agitation that might be worse than the October 2020 EndSARS if not addressed immediately.”
The Presidential Spokesperson blamed the PDP for trying to destabilise the country.
“Which patriotic political party or organization ever threatens its country with anarchy, social upheaval and disorderliness, except one still smarting from its snout being yanked from the honeypot, as happened to PDP in 2015?” he said.
He reminded the PDP that Nigerians have not forgotten the travails they went through when the PDP was in power.
“We wish to remind the now tepid opposition party that it was Nigerians that gave it the boot 7 years ago, and those same Nigerians have not forgotten the travails they experienced, at a time the country was awash with money: no power, no infrastructure, insurgents ran riot round the nation, and our collective patrimony was looted blind. Those same Nigerians are not ready for another PDP misrule, not now, and perhaps not for a long time to come.
“Rather than plot and encourage “agitation worse than October 2020 EndSARS,” which it may well be conceiving, the PDP should work for harmony and cohesion in the country, if it ever understands such concept.
“EndSARS signified murder, mayhem, mass destruction, even cannibalism. PDP now wishes Nigeria something worse.
“A presidential aspirant of the PDP has warned that the party would die by 2023, unless it wins the Number One position in the country. And die it would, if the party wishes the country nothing except something worse than EndSARS,” the Presidential aide concluded.
