PDP wants to destabilise Nigeria to regain power, says Presidency

The Presidency has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to destabilise the country so as to regain power.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, stated this in a statement on Tuesday while reacting to PDP’s statement on the energy crisis in the country.

According to Adesina, the Department of State Services (DSS) raised the alarm about sinister plots by some elements to cause disorder in the land, using the energy crisis as a smokescreen.

He however said after rejecting PDP in 2015, Nigerians were not ready to endure another misrule by the party.

“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has given itself away as being interested only in the destabilization of the country, peradventure it could then sneak its way back to power.

“Which patriotic political party or organization ever threatens its country with anarchy, social upheaval and disorderliness, except one still smarting from its snout being yanked from the honeypot, as happened to PDP in 2015?

“But we wish to remind the now tepid opposition party that it was Nigerians that gave it the boot 7 years ago, and those same Nigerians have not forgotten the travails they experienced, at a time the country was awash with money: no power, no infrastructure, insurgents ran riot round the nation, and our collective patrimony was looted blind. Those same Nigerians are not ready for another PDP misrule, not now, and perhaps not for a long time to come.

“Rather than plot and encourage ‘agitation worse than October 2020 EndSARS,’ which it may well be conceiving, the PDP should work for harmony and cohesion in the country, if it ever understands such concept.

EndSARS signified murder, mayhem, mass destruction, even cannibalism. PDP now wishes Nigeria something worse,” the statement said.
