Nigerians Will Kick APC Out Like Ghanaians Did NPP – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says Nigerians will vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, the way the New Patriotic Party, NPP, was kicked out in the just concluded Ghana elections.

It was reported that on Monday evening, the electoral commission of Ghana declared Mahama as the winner of the presidential election held on Saturday.

Mahama defeated the incumbent Ghana’s vice-president and candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, Mahamudu Bawumia.

Previously president between 2012 and 2017, Mahama garnered 6.3 million votes- 56.5 percent of votes cast.

Reacting in a statement, PDP spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba said the victory of John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress, NDC, was a clear demonstration of the triumph of the power of the people over misrule and oppressive policies of government as now being witnessed in Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Ologunagba alleged that the economic policies of the APC government had sent many Nigerians into poverty.

“The verdict of the people of Ghana in this presidential election is a signal to the APC that its days in office are numbered, as the power of the people in Nigeria, just like in Ghana, will surely prevail, end the APC’s oppressive rule, and return Nigeria to the path of good governance, security, political stability, and economic prosperity on the platform of the PDP in 2027.

“Also unacceptable to Nigerians is that our once-thriving nation, which ranked as a preferred destination for international foreign investment capital and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies under the PDP, has been brought to its knees by the APC with decayed infrastructure, a comatose economy, worsening insecurity, and social uncertainties occasioned by ill-conceived and ill-implemented macroeconomic policies.

“More distressing is that while Nigerians are subjected to harrowing hardship, APC leaders remain unconcerned and unaccountable, imposing harsh taxes and recklessly looting the nation’s treasury to finance their luxury appetites and consumption while arrogantly treating Nigerians as though they are a conquered people,” he said.
