A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called the All Progressives Congress, APC, a party of propaganda.
Okonkwo said the APC gained power in 2015 by using
propaganda, stressing that former President Goodluck Jonathan was booted out of
power through name-calling.
In a post on X, the ADC chieftain recalled how a former
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, led the propaganda campaign against
Jonathan.
He wrote: “The All Progressives Congress (APC) is a party
that spreads propaganda. It gained power in 2015 through propaganda.
“President Goodluck Jonathan was the incumbent President of
Nigeria from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015. He was booted out of
office through name-calling.
“He was fired from his job because of bad comments and
insults. The public relations officer for Bola Tinubu, Lai Mohammed, was
leading this propaganda effort at the time. Jonathan was accused of being
clueless, corrupt, insensitive, and incompetent.
‘He was rejected because he couldn’t control the security
problems in the North-East. He was pummelled for removing fuel subsidy.
Eventually, he couldn’t withstand the name-calling.
“Jonathan was really fair; he didn’t go after the APC to
eliminate them or target his political rivals for unfair treatment.
“He preferred to say that “no politician’s ambition is worth
the blood of any Nigerian. When he was told he lost the election, he calmly
stepped down from his position.
“He also agreed and praised his opponent, President
Muhammadu Buhari, before the results were officially announced.”
