In
a statement issued in Ibadan on Thursday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said if the truth must be
told, the PDP is the main problem hindering the growth of democracy in
Nigeria, no thanks to its anti-democratic antics, election manipulation
tendencies, lack of respect for the rule of law and total disregard of
the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, just to mention a
few.
''Mr.
President, the reason Nigeria's democracy has survived thus far is not
the robustness of the PDP, as you have said, but the determination and
courage of the good people of Nigeria, who have resolved to say 'never
again' to anti-democratic forces, as well as the robust opposition
mounted by a few progressive forces...
''Were
it left for the PDP, this democracy as we know it would have become
history. This is the party that has weakened all the institutions that
are indispensable to building a virile democracy, from the judiciary to
the legislature. This is the party that has sought to emasculate the
opposition by infiltrating their ranks and coercing them into a fake
unity government.
This is the party that does not believe in one man, one vote, but will rather engage in do-or-die politics to win at all cost,.
''Above
all, the PDP is the party that has frittered away the commonwealth
since 1999 and failed woefully to deliver the dividends of democracy,
thus shaking the belief of an increasing number of our citizens in
democracy as a system of governance,'' it said.
