All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of Osun has described the massive wind of change blowing from Abuja as “the hurricane that will eventually dismantle the political culture of graft, corruption and impunity in governance which the People’s Democratic Party represents in Nigeria since 1999”.
Reacting to the defection of 37 PDP members of the House of Representatives to the APC, the party said that this is a “unique situation which will resonate throughout the country and cripple the forces of retrogression that have been at the core of the country’s descent into a banana republic”.
In a statement signed by Osun APC’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Barr. Kunle Oyatomi, the party said “it will be a costly error for anybody to reduce this event to a sheer struggle for
political power”.
According to the APC, “a force perhaps beyond our comprehension has struck at the monstrous head of evil in Nigeria right there in Abuja which will cause the PDP house built on sand to collapse with a
thunderous sound,” adding that, “things cannot be the same anymore with the ruling party because what held it together has melted from its own heat – corruption, graft, mismanagement of funds and total misrule of Nigeria”.
The party referred to the utter misuse of illegitimate violence to muzzle dissent and terrorize opposition parties, rig elections and frustrate the will of the majority of our people, as a crime that is playing out with impunity in several states. The party further alleged that this tactics “is also being planned to be used to terrorize Osun and Ekiti citizens into submission so that the PDP may violently take
over in the states”.
