The All Progressives Congress Grassroots Governance Group (APC-G3) has advised leaders of opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop dragging the ruling party into their intractable issues.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC-G3, Kingsley Ndunagu said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Ndunagu accused the Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees, Sen. Walid Jibrin of trying to bring religious issues of Muslim-Muslim president and vice president ticket in APC.
He said it was wrong for Jibrin to say that the problems arising from PDP’s presidential primary could not be compared with the situation in the APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket issues.
According to him, the PDP leaders are aware that their party may not even come out second in the presidential election hence their desperation to drag the formidable Tinubu/Shettima into their trouble.
Ndunagu said that Christians and Moslems had been living together as one in this country, and would continue to do so.
He challenged PDP to explain to Nigerians how they intend to build national unity having reneged on the agreement to let power rotate, saying that their selfishness did not allow them to acknowledge the unity and stability of Nigeria like the APC.
According to him, Christians and Muslims have been living together in Nigeria but selfish politicians are trying to divide us.
“The PDP should explain what they will tell Nigerians who want to live as one, how they want to unite our country when same people in 2014 who called for power rotation are now working against it.
“The APC as a responsible party wants all Nigerians to be one, irrespective of religion and ethnicity, hence the leaders of our party, particularly President Muhammadu Buhari and northern governors went for power rotation.
“That is the way to go in a multi-ethnic society. From all indications, PDP may not even be in the second position in the presidential election, hence their desperation.
“Nigerians must see the Tinubu/Shettima ticket as been here to serve the country, and not a particular group of people,” APC-G3 added. NAN
