The Peoples Democratic Party said on Tuesday that
it would no longer condone what it described as the
deliberate, unwarranted and sustained vicious
attacks on the person and office of President
Goodluck Jonathan by the opposition, the All
Progressives Congress.
PDP National Publicity, Chief Olisa Metuh, who
stated this in a statement on behalf of the party,
insisted that the opposition must end the attack.
If the opposition refuses to heed his call, Metuh
said the PDP would no longer fold its hands while
he said the desperate desire of the APC for power
unchains undisciplined impulses and actions was
posing a threat to the very survival of democracy
and the nation.
He said his party had been watching carefully as
members of APC, including its national officers,
governors, presidential aspirants continued to
castigate the president for no just cause.
He said, “The PDP has been watching carefully as
the rank and file of the APC, the governors, party
leaders, presidential hopefuls and even sidekicks
run amok, competing in a heavily subjective
castigation of President Goodluck Jonathan with
incendiary utterances, signposting its plans for the
dastardly when it loses in next year’s general
elections.
“However, patriotism, the cardinal value of our
great party, indeed, the price of our custodianship
of the mandate of over 160 million Nigerians calls
for vigilance, maturity and responsibility, hence our
restraints in the face of the naked lies and
recklessness of the APC.
“We had thought that the silver hair of its top
leaders would caution the thoughtless delinquency
of its youngsters. Unfortunately, the recklessness of
the old is in competition with the imprudence of
the young. What a shame the APC has turned.”
He called on the opposition to learn from its (PDP)
political campaigns, which he said were issue-based
just as he advised the APC on the need to maintain
political decorum and primacy of national interest
in the build-up to the forthcoming elections.
Metuh however regretted that APC had refused to
shed its penchant for lies, deceit, propaganda,
violence and blackmail as the center piece of their
agenda and message to Nigerians.
While alleging that the aim of the APC was to set
the stage for violence, but instill fear in Nigerians,
discourage them from actively participating in the
electoral process thereby giving room for them to
perpetrate all manners of electoral malpractices, he
said such ideas would not be bought by Nigerians.
Metuh also claimed that leaders of the APC had
while contesting on different platforms in 2011,
issued such threats and allegedly went ahead to
precipitate an unprecedented electoral violence in
which hundreds of innocent Nigerians lost their
lives.
He said in spite of this, the election which they
were denigrating, was adjudged by local and
international observers as the most credible in our
recent history.
He added in the statement that the alleged warning
last week by security experts that some opposition
leaders might be planning to intensify mayhem
against Nigerians to justify their only campaign
point, which is insecurity, might not be unrelated to
the increased spate of bombings following the
declaration of President Jonathan to contest the
2015 presidential election.

Don't ever mind them, they know not what they are doing.

What of if they ever win, how the damn do they expect the opposition behave.
