PDP Reacts to APC’s Accusations of Opposition Instigated Protests

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to claims by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) accusing opposition parties of inciting protests among young Nigerians across the country.

In a statement issued on Monday, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Felix Morka, alleged that the protests that erupted in Niger and Kano States on Monday, in response to the current economic crisis, were orchestrated by opposition parties.

In its reaction, the PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, criticized the ruling party for refusing to acknowledge that its policies have led the country to its current state.

The statement reads in part, “It is sad that in all of these, President Tinubu is missing in action as he holidays in France at the expense of the Nigerian treasury.”

The PDP also stated, “The APC must understand and come to terms with the fact that there is frustration in the land because of the suffocating economic and social policies; laidback attitude to security and massive corruption in the Tinubu administration.

“Instead of being hypocritical by pointing fingers at the opposition, the APC should admit the failure of its policies and take urgent and concrete action to get President Tinubu to lift his knees off the neck of Nigerians so that the people can breathe.”
