APC, A threat to Nigeria's peace and stability?



In recent times, the All Progressive Congress (APC) Chairman has been making inciting statements to balkanize the nation, issuing threats to form a parallel government, and other inflammatory statements at APC events. In response to APC's persistent threats, the ruling Party (PDP), through its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, advised the APC leaders to learn to comport themselves, eschew bitterness, desperation and divisive tendencies and instead, think of how to make meaningful contributions to tackle the challenges facing the Nation.

The APC National Chairman has become a burden to the Nigerians, as he recently issued a statement completely lacking in validity, all in a frenzied effort to extricate his party, forgetting that Nigerians still recall the intensity with which the opposition fought against moves by the British Parliament to investigate its involvement with terrorist elements as well as divert attention from their meetings outside the shores of our country in their bid to promote insurgency in Nigeria.


Just as Nigerians are asking questions, the PDP also wonder why the APC has chosen to ignore some of the revealing aspects of Dr. Davis’ interview concerning Boko Haram's fundings and sponsorship. Is it because they are not favourable to them? Following the actions and utterances of APC leaders, it will certainly not be out of place if Nigerians refer to APC as a party with a Janjaweed ideology, as they stand 'accused' of promoting insurgency and acts of terrorism.
