The governing All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its alliance, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) saying it was peopled by “comedy theatre group”,

While lamenting that though a democratic Nigeria needs a vibrant opposition to hold the ruling party accountable, it was unfortunate that the PDP and CUPP, have become a joke, irresponsible and rudderless.

In a statement signed by the APC national publicity secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu in Abuja, the party announced the “obituary” of the country’s main opposition, adding that noted that democracy cannot be fully operational in a situation where Nigeria’s “supposed main opposition” has become a crude joke.

“Democracy cannot be said to be fully operational in a situation where the supposed ‘main’ opposition party, PDP has become a joke, irresponsible and rudderless”, said the APC.

The statement said even as the “governing party”, it recognises the importance of rigorous and intelligent interrogation of its policies and programmes by the opposition. It added that there are a lot to gain by Nigeria’s democracy and the country in an atmosphere of robust engagement by responsible and patriotic opposition.

“The political system we practice has important roles for the political parties outside of power. The system envisaged that such parties would provide alternative viewpoints and put the governing party on its toes.

“Instead, the PDP and their minions have in the name of opposition continued to distract the government and Nigerians with their post-election delusions, salacious fictions, conjured rifts in government circles and of course the lowest of it all, the pathetic and senseless Jubril of Sudan malicious tale, among other fake news. Tragic!

“It is sad that PDP has finally proved incapable of filling this important democratic space. The other mushroom parties are even worse. Some of the smaller parties are filled with incurable charlatans issuing infantile weekly press statements on behalf of the PDP. Our democracy deserves better”, APC added.

The APC Also stated that; “The so-called Coalition of United Political Parties CUPP, which could have filled the vacuum and engaged the APC administration in useful debates over governance, has become a comedy theatre group and frontline PDP minion. CUPP has the unenviable mandate to try to intimidate and blackmail important state institutions such as INEC, the judiciary, and security agencies, on behalf of PDP with the hope of gaining political advantage having been rejected by the majority of the voters.

“As the current administration tackles our national challenges and at a period we all should focus on issues of nation-building, the best PDP and its acolytes are offering is a distraction.

“While the PDP wallows in its obscene conducts, Nigeria under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration will continue to consolidate on its status as Africa’s largest economy.

“Despite inheriting a battered economy, the administration is growing the economy after pulling it out of recession. The administration’s record investments in agriculture, social investments and infrastructure projects is paying off hugely. For one, we are now currently the largest rice-producing country in Africa as a direct result of conscientious efforts to diversify the economy.

“Our age-long corruption and impunity challenges is no longer the norm. The fight against corruption is on course. Collectively and individually, a reorientation in our national life and thinking is emerging.

“With the continued support of well-meaning Nigerians, we will do more for the shared prosperity, peace and progress of our dear nation”, said the APC.

This is how you know late night hustlers...

Oya, identify yourselves!!!

It's unlikely this country will survive the next 4 years. Well, anything to hasten the disintegration of welcome

Mtchew, useless people.
APC = PDP
No difference

Very funny. Idiots at the helm of affairs in this country

No be one party system we Dey run for Nigeria? Which one is APC and PDP again

As if the APC is doing anything to take Nigeria out of the rot they are currently in. SMH! PDP failed Nigeria. APC is CURRENTLY FAILING Nigeria.

*Guys have u noticed that when a lady needs money from you the attention she gives to you, is more than a politician on campaign grounds.*��

APC we know, PDP we know.

APC and PDP are 2 sides of one evil coin, we know them!.

But the one we don't understand are the ones that call themselves CUPP, always represented on TV by one red cap- wearing yellow ibo man.

They have completely turned themselves into b1tches of the PDP.

They need to be real with us and change their name from CUPP to CUPDP.

my cartoon today

APC and their propaganda mandate got. us to where we are today, they're power sluts who will clinch power at any cost without regards for systems of the state not citizens alike

awon were

I'm sure Nigerians don't know what they have gotten into; its seeming obvious every passing day.

Has it gotten to this ? Imagine this point where they openly boast of how they supposedly 'don't have opposition' .... Hian !

And fools would think they are 'just being' confident ... No, mr or mrs idiot, they are simply telling you HOW THEY HAVE ROUNDED YOU UP and GOT YOU IN THEIR POCKETS. Thats the meaning of this arrogance..

You hear them say : as a Democratic nation blah blah blah, they expect an opposition blah blah blah ..... Only fools would take that word and not think : "they want an opposition ? But rigged shamelessly the last election "



This is not a matter of PDP ruled 16 years what did they achieve blah blah blah ......

I think you should worry that these guys came with that revenge and have come (to stay) to Finnish what is a common wealth of everyone ....

Haven't u been hearing beats of continuity in government and to be only done by them - haven't you ?

Just a few days some clown was talking about how they can keep the presidency for 100 years .... You can barely imagine that bullsheet !

But as foolishly irredeemable some folks are (and thinking they are doing someone or feigning ignorance of karma) you hear / see them say / type things like : "even if a particular village would be bringing a leader 'Who Can Lead' well, let it be so '. Fools !

A particular village u say ? So it is only that village that has people with brain and others don't ?
And you'll think that's what they mean. No,no,no ..... Such fools know what they are after.

I tell you again its not about saying PDP this, PDP that .... Its about what is in play ....


And u noticed, the South south guys with them seem to be loyal slaves ...... If they aren't , they'd ask questions ... They own greater part of the wealth of the nation.


I drop my pen.


A word they say, is enough for the wise...

That is to mean it is useless to the unwise / foolish.
How you respond, would be the definning factor ....

As if any of the party is kinda different........... parties of thieves!
