Political Briefs
–
THE All Progressives Congress, APC, has said the distractions being orchestrated by certain elements in the polity will not deter the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari from its avowed determination to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of those who are holding the country by the jugular.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by Lai Mohammed, national publicity secretary, the party said the people, including fringe elements, who have frenetically engaged in fault finding with the Buhari Administration, are those who either have skeletons in their cupboards or those who are acting at their behest, for a fee.
”These paranoid and skittish people daily run to the media to disparage the Buhari Administration. Grasping at their straws, they condemn and criticize everything from appointments to the war against corruption and the battle against insecurity, even though the party to which they belong had 16 years to make things right for Nigeria but chose to suck the country dry, enthrone insecurity and pauperize the citizenry.
”Their design is simple: Make enough incoherent noise in the media with the hope that the Administration will be distracted. Unfortunately for them, they have failed in their evil machination, because this President can neither be deterred nor be distracted. While their dogs continue to bark, the caravan of the Buhari Administration proceeds on its steadfast journey,” it said.
APC said while a virile opposition is indispensable in any democracy that is worth its salt, no opposition can succeed by dwelling on the mundane or engaging in bare-faced lies, adding that only good research, strict adherence to the truth and a focus on real issues rather than frivolities can make the opposition relevant.
