The All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and the presidency to tell Nigerians why the ruling party has failed to lift the country in the 14 years that it has been in power.


In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its interim national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party also asked the presidency to tell Nigerians why it has defied INEC rules by continuing to campaign ahead of the 2015 general elections.
“Issues, issues and issues. These are what Nigerians are interested in, not continuous muck-raking about opposition leaders like Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. For example, Nigerians want to know why the country can still not feed itself after 14 years of endless promises by the PDP; Nigerians want to know why they cannot be protected by their government when the security of lives and property is the rason d’etre of any government”, it read in part.


The statement said Nigerians want to know why over 40 million youth cannot get a jobs under a government that gleefully touts a 6% GDP growth, how 400,000 barrels of oil are being stolen daily and who the thieves are, why the country is more divided than ever under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan and why corruption has become a bigger monster over the years under the PDP-led administration.
“The 2015 elections will be fought on the platform of issues, not meaningless attacks on personalities and attention-diverting tales like how Gen. Buhari wants to stage a comeback or how Asiwaju Tinubu wants to expand his imaginary empire,’’ it said.

APC said the reason its leaders have put national interests above personal considerations is to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of the PDP and a mediocre presidency, both of which have failed the citizenry and dimmed their hopes, not because of power-for-power sake, which is the mantra of the do-nothing PDP.
The statement indicated that APC would soon articulate eight cardinal programmes representing a summary of how the party intends to rescue the long-suffering citizens and rescue our nation.
