The Coalition of Political Parties has described the leaders
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as undercover All Progressives Congress,
APC, supporters.
The coalition stated this in a statement issued Wednesday by
the former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the APC, Salihu Lukman, while
reacting to the decision of the PDP Governors’ Forum to oppose the initiative
to form a broad-based coalition of opposition political parties, politicians,
and other groups.
Lukman was of the opinion that the coalition was a viable option not only to defeat the APC and President Bola Tinubu but also to rescue Nigeria’s democracy from imminent collapse.
He noted that the coalition has also become necessary if the
integrity of political institutions, especially political parties, in upholding
and promoting political competition in the country is to be restored.
Lukman added that nothing represents the sad reality of the
destruction of the country’s democracy more than the party that ruled Nigeria
for 16 years and arrogantly boasted of ruling for 60 years, the PDP.
He said: “As it is, all patriotic Nigerians who are
committed to rescuing Nigerian democracy should recognise that the challenge
facing us as a nation is beyond the romantic affiliation to so-called political
parties such as the PDP, with many of its leaders operating as Trojan horses to
the APC and President Tinubu’s government.
“It makes no sense to invest energy and resources in a party
whose leaders are either appointees of the APC government or undercover
supporters.
“Otherwise, how can anyone justify the way the PDP and its
leaders are mismanaging themselves and practically putting themselves on the
path of self-destruction and political irrelevance?
“For the avoidance of doubt, the coalition is fundamentally
about rebuilding Nigerian democracy.”
