PDP says Nigerians ‘ll sack APC, Tinubu the way Ghanaians kicked out NPP

PDP also alleged that the economic policies of the President Bola Tinubu-led government sent many Nigerians into poverty

By Kehinde Okeowo

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said Nigerians will sack ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the way West African neighbours, Ghana kicked out ruling New Patriotic Party, (NPP) in Saturday’s general elections.

PDP made this known on Tuesday via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba.

TheNiche had earlier reported that Ghana’s electoral umpire declared John Mahama as the winner of the presidential election held over the weekend.

Mahama, candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former president, defeated the incumbent Ghana’s vice-president and candidate of NPP, Mahamudu Bawumia after garnering 6.3 million votes- 56.5 percent of votes cast.

Reacting to the development,  Ologunagba said Mahama’s victory was a clear demonstration of the triumph of the power of the people over misrule and oppressive policies of government as now being witnessed in Nigeria under the APC.

He said, “The verdict of the people of Ghana in this presidential election is a signal to the APC that its days in office are numbered, as the power of the people in Nigeria, just like in Ghana, will surely prevail, end the APC’s oppressive rule, and return Nigeria to the path of good governance, security, political stability, and economic prosperity on the platform of the PDP in 2027.

“Also unacceptable to Nigerians is that our once-thriving nation, which ranked as a preferred destination for international foreign investment capital and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies under the PDP, has been brought to its knees by the APC with decayed infrastructure, a comatose economy, worsening insecurity, and social uncertainties occasioned by ill-conceived and ill-implemented macroeconomic policies.

“More distressing is that while Nigerians are subjected to harrowing hardship, APC leaders remain unconcerned and unaccountable, imposing harsh taxes and recklessly looting the nation’s treasury to finance their luxury appetites and consumption while arrogantly treating Nigerians as though they are a conquered people.”
