It was meant to be just another impact-less statement in the pile of daily releases we get stuffed with, from the two main political parties in the country.
Regular and cliche, the Lagos chapter of the All Progressives Congress, threw all the usual shades and took the expected swipes at the Peoples Democratic Party.
But a couple of paragraphs stuck out like a sore bleeding thumb in the statement released by Joe Igbokwe.
The paragraphs by the APC, insinuated that former Nigerian leaders- Olusegun Obasanjo, the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, were criminal leaders, among other things.
“For a PDP that totally destroyed the Nigerian economy and stole 16 years of the nation’s providential oil boom to now mount a daily credo of rootless criticism of a regime that is working so hard to recover the country from PDP’s wasteful hangover shows that it is insulting the intelligence of Nigerians, who roundly rejected it a few months ago.
We observe that rather than keep quiet as Nigerians brace themselves for the shocking details of its nefarious acts of public stealing and corruption, the PDP has inundated the Nigerian space with spurious wolf crying as a way of staving off prosecution for its many corrupt acts.
“When it is not crying wolf, the PDP is making specious and ridiculous allegations of non-performance on an administration that has in three eventful months cleared much of the debris of rot and decay it studiously built to wreck Nigeria in 16 years of criminal leadership.”
16 years!
Do the math.
