PDP To APC: Take A Cue From The Outcome Of US Elections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to learn from the events of the United States presidential election.

A statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the PDP believes the achievement of democratic institutions in tackling of issues related to the presidential poll has again outlined Nigerians’ demands from the Buhari-led administration to allow the institutions of democracy to function optimally.

The opposition party opined that the US election was a case study for “corrupt and power-drunk leaders” that no matter the desperate attempt to manipulate the system, the will of the people and the rule of law would always prevail.

The PDP noted that the insistence of the US judiciary and the legislature on the provisions of their nation’s Constitution has reinforced the triumph of the collective will of a people through their system.

It, however, stated that the US experience has taught Nigerians to resist any manipulation ahead of the 2023 polls.

It called on Nigerians, including those in INEC, the judiciary, the legislature, security forces, and faith-based organisations, among others to join the movement to reposition and strengthen the nation’s institutions for the task ahead.
