The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has again lashed out at Peter Obi and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, challenging their democratic credentials.
This is as the party alleged that the duo lacks historical commitment to Nigeria’s pro-democracy struggle.
The Lagos APC said this in a statement titled “Democracy Without Sacrifice: The Myth of Obi and Atiku”.
According to the party, democracy is sustained by sacrifice, consistency, respect for institutions and fidelity to the will of the people, not by selective outrage or convenience-driven politics.
It added that a review of Nigeria’s democratic history showed that neither Obi nor Atiku played any significant role in the struggle against military rule.
The APC contended that both were absent during the period when activists faced detention, exile and intimidation in defence of democratic ideals.
“They made no sacrifices, bore no scars and took no risks in defence of democracy. Yet today, they seek to appropriate the moral capital earned by braver patriots,” the statement said.
