The People’s Democratic Party has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC and the present leadership of allegedly pursuing policies aimed at destroying Nigeria’s democracy and imposing what the PDP describes as dictatorship in the country.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Sunday, asked the Federal Government to come to terms with the fact that democracy requires accountability, adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order and not the crass infractions, executive arrogance, intolerance and undermining the legislature.
In his words, “Has the President Muhammadu Buhari led government not exhibited all the trapping of despotism, including ruling without the constitutional components of a cabinet, persistent abuse of power, corrupting of democratic institutions, quest to appropriate the National Assembly in spite of the principle of separation of powers, invasion of state government and personal houses, injecting confusion into the judiciary and hounding of individuals perceived to be against its interest?”
He, however, restated the party’s commitment in providing issue-based opposition as well as support for the fight against corruption.
