The APC National Caretaker Committee Chairman and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni had said that the ruling party is looking to rule Nigeria for 36 years

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as ‘the height of recklessness and insensitivity’ the claim by the APC suggesting that it intends to retain power at the federal level for at least 36 years.

In a communique by the PDP’s spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party claimed that the APC’s intention is a direct confrontation to the generality of Nigerians, who had already “reached a national consensus to kick them out of office, come 2023”.

The PDP also described APC’s claim of registering 36 million Nigerians in their “failed fictitious” registration exercise as another political hoax and empty claim, which cannot sway Nigerians in any way.

PDP says it believes that the APC National Caretaker Committee Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni made such “a garrulous statement in the belief that APC’s intimidation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the judiciary and security agencies as well as deployment of thugs from neighboring countries, will help them to subvert the will of Nigerians in future elections”.

“In Buni’s whims and thoughtlessness, Nigerians should make themselves ready for another 26 years of anguish, pains, hunger and starvation, insecurity and limitless suffering. This is the height of recklessness, insensitivity, and an affront to the sensibilities of Nigerians.

“The PDP counsels the fizzling APC to end its pipe dreams and arrogant boasting and wake up to the reality that its tenure in office, as well as its life as a political party, will meet an inevitable end in 2023.

“Governor Buni and his co-travelers in the illegal APC National Caretaker Committee must note that Nigeria is not their personal estate or the vassal of any group of power mongers,” the opposition party’s statement read in part.

The opposition party was of the opinion that the APC’s Contact and Strategy Committee is of no moment, adding that Nigerians have suffered under APC’s rule and cannot afford to allow it to be in power a day beyond May 29, 2023.
