The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that there is no difference between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and bandits and terrorists.
It described APC as power band and bandits as forest gangs, declaring that both the power band party and the forest bandits spread devastation, sorrow and tears wherever they capture.
The party also stated that Nigerians across all the states were praying hard for the pains inflicted on them by the ruling APC to end and alight from the one-chance bus by May, 2027.
The party stated this in reaction to a report, on Sunday, attributed to the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, that Oyo and Osun states are the next target for his party after its victory at the Ondo State governorship election.
Oyo PDP acting secretary, Mr Michael Ogunsina, in a statement on Monday, described the reported declaration by Ganduje as wishful thinking.
The statement reads: “There is obviously no difference between the power band called APC and forest gangs called bandits. Both spread devastation, sorrow and tears wherever they capture.
“Is it not a shame and a shock that while the APC leaders’ greed for power and more power is rising, our national grid is collapsing every hour? We shudder to wonder where the APC and its government still get the courage to talk to Nigerians about election.
“Everyone saw the shame and sham they did in Ondo at the weekend. They will be mistaken if they think every leopard could be clubbed to death as they did in places they captured. Thieves can endure in their perfidy for days, but one day is for the owner to catch them. That day will come soon.
“It is a shame that, instead of easing people’s burden, what preoccupies the mind of the APC and its leadership are the capture of states and the abduction of people’s destinies. Where then is the difference between what the APC does and what forest bandits do?
“Our people are tired of a party and people that are progressive only in name. Ganduje and his cohorts who want to extend the pains of APC to Oyo State should stop plotting against God and the people. We reject the curse from Ganduje and his APC; our God, who hates the wicked, reject them too.
“Our state [Oyo] has been an oasis of peace, ease and good governance in the midst of the ruins wreaked by the APC across the country. We do not intend to surrender our freedom to predators. And we will not.
“Perhaps we should let the APC people know that no sensible person in Oyo State wants to be inflicted with greater pains than what the people bear now from APC’s misrule.
“A ruling party with conscience would, by now, be working very hard to repair the damage it has done to the economy of our country and the finances of the people.
“But, because APC cannot give what it does not have, it is not concerned at all about the people’s plight. Its politics is solely about grabbing power, capturing states and snatching people’s joy.
“Nigerians are in deep prayers for deliverance from the one-chance bus that the APC has become. Their prayers will be answered by the grace of God.
“Finally, Nigerians are asking the APC and its government to stop generating darkness and distributing pain to homes and offices. The cry in every town is Enough is Enough. O to gee,” Oyo PDP declared.
