The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Action 23 Group has warned Nigerians against electing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, as doing so, it said, will amount to an extension of President Muhammadu Buharis tenure.
In an issued statement issued yesterday by its Chairman, Hon. Rufus Omeire, the group argued that given the performance of the ruling party in the last seven years and more, the party has become an existential threat to the survival of the nation.
The statement referenced the recent remark by a former APC National Chairman and ex-Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, who sought to distance Tinubu from the Buhari administrations performance in office, saying this is most disingenuous for many reasons.
The fulcrum of the APC campaign has been a firm promise to replicate the sterling performance of the APC government of Buhari if Tinubu happens to win in 2023.
Make no mistake about it, a Tinubu presidency would be just another term for Buhari. Note that Tinubu and Buhari have the same divisive streak, the same arrogance and contempt for peoples views and feelings.
“Notwithstanding, they subscribe to the same policies and programmes. Tinubu is Buhari and Buhari is Tinubu, the group argued.
The PDP Action 2023 pointed out that the APC manifestly now represents a clear and present danger to the security, stability and economic wellbeing of Nigeria.
The APC, the group said, represents an existential threat to Nigeria in all critical areas, stressing that Nigerians are scandalised at the ineptitude, incompetence and insensitivity of the Buhari-Tinubu -APC government.
The PDP Action 2023, therefore, urged Nigerians to reject APC in the next years general elections and give the reformed PDP the opportunity to rescue and rebuild the nation from the abyss the ruling party has plunged Nigeria into.
The group further appealed to Nigerians to avoid splitting their votes across the PDP, Labour Party (LP) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) at the 2023 presidential polls, warning that doing so will only return APC to power to continue their plunder of the nations resources and threat to Nigerias corporate existence.
