APC Is Not A Muslim Party – Olisa Metuh by ganye1: 6:57am On Dec 23, 2014 |
The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, has spoken out to address insinuations that he referred to the opposition All Progressives Congress as a Muslim party. According to Metuh, Islam is a religion of peace and it is unfair to equate it with the APC. “It is important to keep the records straight. I never labelled APC ‘Muslim Brotherhood of Nigeria.’ I made a statement and I was drawing the attention of people to what some northerners have said. That was an advice. Then supporter of APC has nothing to do with religion. I referred to the opposition ideology as being supporter of APC, that it has something to do with supporter of APC being the meaning of anarchy and chaos. supporter of APC is an association. What they want to put in force is anarchy, chaos and civil unrest,” he said. “So, the idea the opposition has is completely anarchy and chaos. It is an ideology that there will be parallel government, that they will fight if they lose election. So, that is a supporter of APC ideology of no respect for law and order, that is what the APC has personified in their statements and utterances, they want chaos in our polity and that is why we call them supporter of APC. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion. For me, I know that some people in this world, their ambition is to have money, some is to have children, some is to have mansions, then there are some people that their ambition is just to worship their God and you cannot question that. We do not think that the APC is a Muslim party. “Islam itself is a religion of peace, it is a religion that respects law and order, a religion that wants things to be done appropriately and it has respect for constituted authority. So, you cannot equate it with a party that has no respect for constituted authority. No, the APC is not a Muslim party. What they have is a band of anarchy, whether they are from the North-east or west, they want to subvert our democracy and we will not allow that,” he added. In a recent parley with newsmen, Metuh also spoke on his party’s chances in APC-controlled Lagos, Kano and Rivers states in the coming general elections. “The truth is that we are going to win the elections, that I can assure you. There is no way the people in these states will not vote for President Goodluck Jonathan,” he said. “In Kano State, we are going to have difficulty, but we do hope that we will struggle to control the state, we will struggle for supremacy. “We are in control of Rivers. “In Lagos, we will like to believe that now is the time that the people are yearning for change. There is multiplication of taxation in Lagos. People are crying under that yoke that they need a change from. So, we are going to win Lagos as well by God’s grace,” Metuh stated. On the issue of defection of some former principal officers of the party to the opposition, Metuh said: “I must be honest with you, mistakes were made. Some of them were preventable. I believe the issue of Gemade was preventable, because I know, being the longest serving member of this party at the national executive level, I can tell you that Barnabas Gemade is one of the best national chairmen we had in the history of our party. “We made some mistakes and we have learnt some lessons. But I know that wherever Gemade is, whatever he is doing, he is PDP 100 percent. He thinks about PDP, his mind is PDP and he will never leave PDP. Unlike some people who have left us and criticised us, I can assure you that Gemade and Samuel Ortom can never ever abuse the leadership of PDP. May be it has to do with their personal interests, that is why they left, but in terms of ideology, belief of the party, they cannot go against it. Gemade is a democrat. I asked him and he said he was not leaving but that he is not happy, so I believe that by and large, mistakes were made along the line.” http://www.ekekeee.com/apc-muslim-party-winning-lagos-olisa-metuh/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |

Goodluck Johnathan is a good man as a person, his simplicity and gentlemanness is second to none. *He has given us his very BEST over the last 6 years. I mean, what else are we asking for? *He has granted Alameisiya 'STATE PARDON' and my guy is now running for Senate. *He allowed Fayoose to distrupt a court session and beat up a judge, while he walks freely. I wonder if Nigeria is sane. *He locked up the house of rep from the entrance of the CONSTITUTIONAL speaker of that house. *7 law makers impeached a speaker in Ekiti in a house of about 26 men, and nothing happened. *16 was suddenly greater than 19 in base 10, just to cancel the one-term agreement he signed with the NIGERIA Governors' Forum and all Nigerians in 2011. *Subsidy has been removed and the standards in our hospitals have reduced with time. *$20 billion is missing and minister of Petroleum eats and dines with the prexy. *Another BIGGER & BOLDER subsidy is scheduled for 1st of June, 2015 and you may have to sell your laptop charger before you can buy fuel to charge that same laptop!!! * Earlier this year, over 22 innocent Nigerians were killed in the job scam organized by the Nigerian Immigration Service(NIS) . The Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, told us the job interview was "simply mismanaged" and he has retained his office and even with extra luggage. *1 Naira used to be equal $1.2 under # GMB but now it's #186.5 to just $1, the worst ever in our history. * Madam Gele, Ngozi Okonjo, just told us we need an extra $5 billion, through debts of course, so that our economy will not collapse like Humpty- Dumpty. *While Benue State University was on an unending internal strike killing the future of poor Nigerians, Senator DAVID MARK (son of the soil) built his own PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, of course with tax payers' money, and my gentle president followed him to launch the school shamelessly. *He has spent all money in the treasury and even had to BORROW an extra $1 billion but # BokoHaram keeps getting more equipped than our military. *Over 200 girls are missing, over 15,000 killed by # BokoHaram , over 6 million displaced from their homes and uncountable injured beyond repairs yet my president went to a a meeting in # KENYA with 7 different PRIVATE JETS.. *clears throat... * # PHCN is giving their loyal customers GENERATORS as gifts for paying their # electricity bills on time..Grab your COPY NOW!!! . That's less than 1% of the reasons we need to dance to a new SHOKI, this AWILO is no more wulo for us. Cheers to an unstoppable change..

Obiagelli: Indeed. This is only coming after the revelation that the North is not at all interested in hearing the name GEJ to the extent that even PDP politicians in the North have now swung behind Buhari. For 4 years the myopic Southerners in the PDP (like Akpabio and the foolishly verbose Metuh) hijacked the PDP and turned it into a "Christian Party" while they went for open and brazen demonization of the APC as the "Islamic Janja**** Party". Come election time it is now obvious to all the damage these set of myopic dimwits have done to the candidacy of GEJ. They are now deceitfully trying to retrace their steps. Too late. Nigerians are now determined to vote for change they know the "Islamic Party" can deliver. |
