It is therefore instructive that the APC could not<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">actuate this simplest tradition of political parties, making its<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">congress a threat to our democracy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">APC has become a symbol and harbinger of malevolence, which, by every<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">indication, is on a sordid throttle of taking our nation to the long<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">forgotten state of nature where only the mighty rules; the state of<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">anarchy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">From its cannibalistic proclivities, the world can see why the APC and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">its insensitive Federal Government care less about the lives and welfare<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of Nigerians, resulting in the escalation of violence, bloodletting,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">mass killings, extra-judicial executions, persecution of citizens, abuse<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of human rights, constitutional violations, including invasion of the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">National Assembly as well as attack on federal lawmakers and judicial<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">officers. We now know the roots of APC\u2019s harsh economic policies and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">massive corruption that led to the biting economic recession and its<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">attendant hunger, starvation and lack ravaging our nation today.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Nigerians are now on a consensus that things can only get worse with the<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">APC owing to its proclivity for vengeance, violence and repression.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">PDP therefore charges Nigerians, irrespective of creed, class or<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">sectional persuasion, to be at alert, look beyond personal interests,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">rise in unison and use all democratic instruments to stop the APC in<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">this dangerous drive to further wreck our nation and plunge it into a<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">state of anarchy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">On our own part, the rebranded PDP remains open as the credible platform<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">for all Nigerians to coalesce in the collective quest to rescue our<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">nation from the clutches of the APC and the President Muhammadu<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Buhari-led administration, come 2019.<\/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 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is terrified by the spate of violence, mayhem, bloodletting and massive corruption associated with the All Progressives Congress (APC), both in governance and its internal&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":61414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62168","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>APC Is a Party of Violence;
