All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Wing Mobilisation Vanguard has called on Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) elders in the North-West region to focus their political crisis and solution rather than fixating on the minister of State for Defence, Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle.

Chairman of the group, Alhaji Ashiru Tukur, stated this while reacting to the accusations of political harassment of PDP supporters in the North-West by minister of state for Defence, Matawalle.

The PDP Professionals Support Movement had on Thursday asked President Bola Tinubu to stop Matawalle from alleged harassment of opposition leaders in the North-West region.

Tukur declared that the allegations of political harassment by whatever means against any political group in the country under the present administration of Tinubu was baseless and cheap political propaganda aimed at tarnishing image of the APC-led administration.

 

He described PDP in the North as a collection of disappointed and failed political persons that have mastered mischief purposefully to create political instability and unleash havoc and distrust among Nigerians.

 

“Apart from PDP’s woeful failure, they failed to govern even in a state wrecked by poverty and economic degradation coupled with insecurity as a result of negligence and poor governance.

 

“Anytime PDP wants to bury their inability at the state, they will resort to mudslinging and name calling. This is mere display of incompetence and weakness associated with hatred and blackmail of targeted political personalities like Minister Matawalle in an attempt to create a heightened tension, conflict, and disharmony at a time people are looking for solution to end insecurity, hunger and poverty,” Tukur stated.

 

He added while they demanded an urgent apology from the PDP leaders over what he called sponsored campaign of calumny against the hard working Matawalle and other APC leaders, the APC group urged Nigerians to be wary of the alarmists who were only interested in destroying Nigerians’ common interest for their selfishness.
