Unfortunately, the recklessness of the old is in competition with the imprudence of the young. What a shame the APC has turned!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur decent political campaigns focusing on the achievements of our party at various levels of government should have served as a pointer to the APC on the need to maintain political decorum and primacy of national interest in the build-up to the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is, however, unfortunate that the APC has refused to shed its penchant\u00a0 for lies, deceit, propaganda, violence and blackmail as the center piece of their agenda and message to Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis disposition has led the APC to work in cahoots with the enemies of Nigeria in an attempt to wreck our democracy and throw the nation into chaos, hence the urgency of the need to warn that \u2018\u2018enough is now enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that the aim of the APC is to set the stage for violence, instill fear in Nigerians, discourage them from actively participating in the electoral process, thereby, giving room for them to perpetrate all manners of electoral malpractices (as evidenced by their cloning of the permanent voter cards) which is the only way they may hope to achieve political power in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis position is reinforced by their constant threat to cause violent pandemonium when they lose the elections.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div style=\"color: #575757;\">Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"message\" class=\"statusbar\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mailviewsplitterv\" class=\"splitter splitter-v\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gsdfcdiv\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u00a0Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on the the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop its sustained and unwarranted attacks on the person and office of the President, \u00a0Goodluck&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
