The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All
Progressive Congress (APC) of double standard and insincerity as the party that
once rebuked immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan for seeking regional
cooperation to finding solution to the challenge of insurgency is now hailing
President Muhammadu Buhari for toeing the same line.
PDP
National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Sunday said in the
days ahead, Nigerians should expect further unmasking of APC’s double standard
and blackmail upon which they rode to power.
The
party also condemned the venom with which the APC attacked well-meaning
Nigerians for daring to offer constructive criticisms to President Buhari,
following apparent loss of tempo in the fight against insurgency since he took
office, describing such as unacceptable in a democracy especially in a country
like Nigeria where the citizens have been enjoying freedom of expression in the
last 16 years under the PDP.
The
PDP lamented that since the APC took over power at the center, there has been
no clear sign of seriousness and direction, but confusion, selfish infighting
and panic for positions of power while the nation drifts, noting that the
situation is unhealthy for democracy and national development.
The
PDP observed that though some jostling for political offices are expected among
politicians in a democracy, Nigerians are not comfortable with the confusion in
the APC camp and the dimension it has assumed.
