The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos has assured Lagosians that the strange negative factors that decided the recent Ekiti elections are not imported to the state.

The party in a statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe said that “what happened in Ekiti is an anomie, a reversal of democracy and an affront on development, which is the bedrock of PDP’s politics of mass impoverishment through relentless stealing of state resources and using such money to buy the votes of the people.

It warned PDP not to think it will get away with both the deployment of soldiers and other security agencies to manipulate the electoral process as such will be resisted by the masses and using stolen money to buy the people’s votes.

“We note that the PDP and in particular the Lagos PDP has been over the moon since the disastrous elevation of its politics of mass hunger and mass deployment of the stolen money to buy votes, gave the party a pyrrhic victory in Ekiti.

“It should be noted that PDP is now flaunting what is now known as ‘politics of stomach infrastructure’ which targets the borderless hunger it has provoked for fifteen years for exploitation.

“What PDP is celebrating is the seeming triumph of public stealing and corrupt inducement during election time over performance and we assure them that they will fail in this criminal reversal of what should undergird the people’s expectation from democracy.

“It is a tragedy that a party that should be advertising on its stellar performance for the fifteen years it has inflicted this country is today leveraging its bid for continuity on how it shares out morsels to the hungry it has made during election time.

“It is tragic that the PDP is now elevating a politics of public stealing for the purpose of building stomach infrastructure during election time.

“It is a grave pity that PDP is today celebrating the mass poverty, total infrastructure breakdown and total hunger and privation it has inflicted on the country and leverages on exploiting it during elections, as happened in Ekiti. They will fail and we assure them of this,” the party said.

“We want to assure the PDP that it is building castles in the air by hallucinating that it will ever capture Lagos by its politics of hunger and mass poverty.

“We want to let them know that such negative alterations of the values of politics will be short lived, starting from the upcoming election in Osun State.

“We want to assure PDP that it will never drag Nigeria back to the days of politics of hunger and stomach infrastructure, despite what happened in Ekiti.

“What Nigerians are faced with at present is the rustication of the failed PDP, which had been a curse to a well endowed country for the fifteen years its politics of poverty started. Nigerians, despite the anomie of Ekiti, are still faced with throwing away the PDP government that continues attracting ridicule and scorn for its incompetent, corrupt and inept governance of the country.

“We want to let Lagos PDP and the entire PDP know that Lagos is still the base of Nigeria’s intelligentsia, and that Lagosians know the difference between performance and organized stealing and will never infect the state with the blight that the PDP has become.

“We want to let the PDP, both in Lagos and elsewhere that they cannot succeed in fooling Nigerians by targeting the mass poverty it had created for exploitation.

“We put them on notice that what happened in Ekiti, rather than mitigate the urgent need for throwing out the huge liability of a non existent PDP government in Nigeria, will rather open the eyes of Nigerians to the dangers of the negative politics of the PDP.
