The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is only interested in the destruction and decimation of opposition parties in the country.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Tuesday after a meeting with members of the PDP in Kwara state, the chairman of the party, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, said that the factional national chairman of the party, Senator Modu Sheriff was an agent of the APC.
“We saw the temporary ‘victory’ of Modu Sheriff as a travesty of justice and victory for APC, which is interested in the destruction and decimation of opposition parties in Nigeria, particularly our great party, the PDP”, he said.
The party, which appealed to the ruling APC government to allow democracy to survive in the country, described its current fight against corruption as selective.
The Kwara PDP chairman also urged party leaders and members in the country to support Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee, saying the committee was capable of taking the party to promised land come 2019.
The party also hailed the decision of its national convention committee (NCC) to lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court of Nigeria and filing an application for stay of execution pending final determination of the appeal.
“The national convention committee is the highest law making body of our party as confirmed in Section 33 (2) of our constitution, therefore its decision on any matter affecting our party is final and binding, therefore, on Port Harcourt decision we stand”, he said.
Talking on the issue of local government elections in Kwara state, Prince Fagbemi urged members of the party in the state to prepare for the poll and be ready to participate at any time the state government made announcement on it, saying the party would in the council poll.
