Do Not Stone APC Chieftains, PDP Begs Nigerians . . . NEC To Ratify Report On Zoning
2 min read
by Our Correspondent The National Publicity Secretary of the main opposition party, People Democratic Party (PDP), Debo Ologunagba
has begged citizens not to toe the line of stoning APC Chieftains on the streets.
Ologunagba who made the appeal Monday, April 18th, during an interview with newsmen, recalled that the late Chief Tony Momoh once asked Nigerians to stone APC leaders in the event of failing to meet their expectations.
He said his appeal is made based on his party’s zero tolerance on violence.
According to the party mouthpiece; “As a democratic party that hates violence, we cannot urge Nigerians to stone them. They should vote them out in 2023. That is the biggest gift any Nigerian can ask for now.”
Speaking on the Easter message by the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, Ologunagba said the highly revered clergyman was on spot when he said only corruption is alive and well in Nigeria.
His words: “He (Kukah) got it right. Everything has collapsed under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari. Insecurity, education, unity, health and more are in worse state today than they were in 2015.
“Bishop Kukah should be commended for speaking truth to power. We need men like him to speak up at a time like this when a government that promised security as one of the major planks of its agenda, watches helplessly as terrorists take over our land, from North to South, East to West. It is a shame.”
On the contentious issue of zoning, he said; “The PDP is not under any form of pressure at all, as far as the matter of zoning is concerned. We are a party founded on democratic norms and values. Do not forget that we are a party that follows procedures in all we do.”
