Nigeria @62: Don’t lose hope, help is on the way, PDP tells Nigerians

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has encouraged Nigerians not to lose hope in the country.

The party urged Nigerians to be steadfast in the face of what it describes as “the misrule of the vicious, corrupt and anti-people All Progressives Congress (APC)”.

It noted that the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, “would soon come to an end,” in its Independence Day anniversary message to Nigerians.

PDP in a issued by its spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said it is regrettable and heartrending that Nigerians are celebrating yet another Independence Anniversary under palpable bondage and harrowing stranglehold of the “suppressive, coldhearted, insensitive and inhumane APC which relishes in inflicting pain and anguish on the citizens,”

It noted that in the last seven years the APC has foisted and supervised a “reign of terror and subjected Nigerians to the worst form of suppression that have turned a once cheerful and prosperous nation into the poverty capital and the third worst governed country of the world.

“In the last seven years, the APC has balkanized and dislocated the unity of our country, promoted mutual distrust among the once happy and harmonious people, created a mass of internally displaced persons; the worst since the Civil War in our country,” the statement said.
