The Peoples Democratic Party has hit back at the All Progressives Congress over its plan to probe the PDP-led administrations since the advent of democracy in 1999.
The new party, in its manifesto, on Friday, said it would pursue an eight- cardinal programme, including war against corruption, food security, accelerated power supply, integrated transport network, free education, devolution of power, accelerated economic growth and affordable health care.
On the war against corruption, it said, “We shall negotiate oil deals, unveil the secrecy surrounding the ownership of 49 per cent of the Nigeria Liquefied gas, query the over N50tn oil revenue which accrued to the Federation Account between 2000 and 2013 and recover billions of US dollars which ministries, departments and agencies failed to remit to the Federation Account.”
Commenting on the APC manifesto, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said, “They should wait until when they get power; they are dreaming, and they should keep on dreaming. They are not waking up now, until 2015 when we win the elections.”
Describing the APC as a party of daydreamers unaware of the political reality awaiting them in 2015, Metuh alleged that the APC was the coming together of “tribalists’ politicians extolling the vice of selfishness and religious extremists in the country.”
He said, “I must say that they should concentrate on getting the Lagos State Government to probe the wanton corruption and the criminal activities of the past ACN government and the present one as well in Lagos; they should probe the past administrations that have governed Lagos to recover the money for the people.
“A government that is built on the enslavement of the people to satisfy one man, a government that is predicated on taking from the people to satisfy an individual can ever be supported by the people.
“Any party that is tribal, joined by religious extremists can never form power.
“We are aware of their thinking; the PDP is aware of them; at the appropriate time, we will let Nigerians know their true manifesto — it is to promote tribal differences and religious extremism in Nigeria — that is their manifesto, which is what they want to do.”
I agree with what pdp said
ya i agry looking at d cacos dere are bunch of tribalistic and religious fanatics . whos aim is not too defrent from dat of boko aram. and as we all know judging from wat som of dier elit in d party especially does from north hav been preaching . de ar in suport of wat de extreemist call boko aram are presently doin in d cauntry . ACN are making greiv mistake to hav accepted dis meger. dis will not only make dem loose d fiew states de are governing but will dent dier integrity as a party as well
Mr O and V u guys are fools and so shall you remain. Hopeless hopefools.
I ve never seen a hopeless fool like uche instead of him giving his own side view like oni & victor did blc his mind set is defeated he is insulting those men of integrety blc as far as i am concern the duo are making points even though i do not belong to either of the political parties, look here nigeria is our counry & not for individuals hwo had their term yet they did nothing is it now they are realizing they should be this or that Abi? & in a way supporting Boko Haram Abi? I rest my case. I am not for goodluck but for Nigeria my country. “One nigeria one nation” is what we need.
