The United Progressive Party
(UPP) has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop engaging in
name-calling, malicious propaganda and caustic remarks.
The party said if the ruling
party fails to heed the counsel, “the concomitant counter-propaganda” of its
actions “can only heat up the polity”.
The party advised the APC and the
government of President Muhammadu Buhari “to engage the opposition more
constructively in the interest of our dear country, Nigeria and her citizens”.
The UPP urged the APC as well as
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to engage in robust political engagement
that is capable of enhancing the nation’s democratic process.
Chekwas Okorie, national chairman
of the UPP, said this in reaction to the just concluded PDP national convention
in Abuja.
He urged the main opposition party
to put in place a credible opposition ahead of 2019 general elections.
“We expect the new leadership of
the PDP to join hands with other credible opposition parties to raise the
quality of opposition in Nigeria and deepen our democracy,” he said.
“UPP will engage all registered
political parties in robust encounter that will uplift our democratic process
ahead of 2019 general elections. It is a new dawn in the country’s political
process.”
