The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Nigerians are already
counting down to May 29, 2023, when the second term of President Muhammadu
Buhari will come to an end.
According to the party, both the APC and the Buhari administration
will be consigned to “the dustbin of history”.
The Party Chairman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said this in a statement on
Thursday, while reacting to comments by the embattled APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole,
over an alleged third term bid by the president.
“Of course, Nigerians need not be reminded, of the exit date of an
administration that has caused them so much pains, abused our law, trampled on
their rights and undermined our electoral process,” Ologbondiyan said.
“It would interest Oshiomhole to know that if anything, Nigerians
are already counting days for May 29, 2023, when the APC and the Buhari
administration will be consigned to the dustbin of history”.
Oshiomhole had, however, said that the rumoured third term bid of
President Muhammadu Buhari was actually planted by the PDP.
The embattled party Chairman who addressed State House
correspondents after a closed-door meeting with President Buhari at the
Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday stressed that most Nigerians are yet to
forget what the PDP tried to do to promote the third term agenda while in
power.
The presidency has also severally re-iterated that President
Buhari has no plans to remain in power after the 2023 elections.
But the PDP insists that the party has other intentions. It,
however, stressed that there is nothing they the (APC) can do to stop the party
from fizzling out, come 2023.
“The PDP has counselled the embattled National Chairman of the
fizzling APC, Adams Oshiomhole, to stop pushing the APC third term discourse in
the public space,” the party said.
“The party further counsels Oshiomhole to desist from going to the
Presidential villa to push the impossible as such will not save him from the
axe of suspension dangling over his political head or his inescapable
prosecution over allegations… of corruption and mismanagement of Edo state
resources while he was governor of that state.
“The PDP further noted that such mission to the Villa, like the
one Oshiomhole made today, will also not save the APC from fizzling before
2023, as even alluded to by President Muhammadu Buhari in his apprehensions
about the gloomy future of the APC.
“Mr Oshiomhole should, therefore, stop sounding like a broken
brass in his attempt to launder a failed merchandise”. (Channels TV)
