The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday described the All Progressives Congress, APC, as a party of “political vampires” who thrive and relish in “sucking the blood” of citizens and foisting excruciating pain and hardship on Nigerians.

PDP described the APC as a haven of power-grabbers, treasury looters and manipulators who are only out to “grab, snatch and run” with our national patrimony at the expense of millions of our citizens.

The party condemned PDP’s response to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State that the 2027 election is between the APC and Nigerians.

In a statement on its X post, PDP said the APC is jittery because its days are numbered.

The statement said, “The @OfficialPDPNig strongly condemns the APC’s attack on Governor Seyi Makinde @seyiamakinde of Oyo State for speaking out for the Nigerian masses who have been subjected to untold hardship by the APC administration, describing the attack as reckless, insensitive and reprehensible display of arrogance in failure.

“The attack on Governor Makinde also confirms that the APC is jittery that its days are numbered as Nigerians have seen through its lies, subterfuge, falsehood, suppressive policies and crass incompetence in governance.

“Governor Makinde remains a credible and effective leader with astonishing record of performance not only in prioritizing the needs of the people of Oyo State as evident in the numerous development projects in the State but also working with other governors elected on the platform of the PDP in the quest for development, sustenance of democracy and resistance to APC’s scheme to turn Nigeria into a One-Party State.

“It is indeed an assault on the sensibility of Nigerians that in the midst of worsening insecurity, biting economic hardship, widespread hunger and starvation, comatose infrastructure, crippled productive sector, weakened currency, closure of millions of businesses with over 36% unemployment rate, hopelessness and general despondency all occasioned by the irresponsible anti-people policies of the APC administration, the APC is living in alternate reality, arrogantly claiming that Nigeria is “on the cusp of prosperity.

“Our Party finds it preposterous that the APC thinks that it can continue to hoodwink citizens with lies and harvest of false performance claims when it has failed on all fronts, reversed all the gains made in the 16 years of the PDP in governance and turned our once economically thriving nation into the poverty capital of the world, where over 100 million Nigerians are no longer able to afford their daily meals and other basic necessities of life.”
