The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for labeling an alleged foreign intervention in Nigeria as a “call for help.”
The APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described the PDP’s appeal as reckless and unpatriotic in a statement on Tuesday.
According to The Nation, the new factional PDP chairman, Tanimu Turaki, while addressing journalists on Tuesday about the ongoing crisis within his party, urged foreign powers to step in to protect Nigeria from what he termed a “Christian genocide” and to safeguard democracy.
Reacting, the APC spokesperson said Turaki appeared desperate, at his wit’s end, confused, incoherent, and grossly lacking in stamina and capacity to manage his party’s crisis.
According to him, Nigerians expected that Turaki would set himself on an urgent peace-building mission to bring his party’s warring factions together in dialogue towards finding possible pathways to peace and reconciliation.
“Turaki’s first official act as factional chairman was his call for foreign invasion of Nigeria as a solution to the self-inflicted internal crisis of his PDP. This is not only reckless and unpatriotic but shameless and it is a dangerous threat to national security and sovereignty.
“Under the PDP’s 16 years in power, with its ruthless subversion of opposition parties, there was never a call for foreign invasion of Nigeria as a solution to crises within opposition parties of that era.
“We trust the international community to dismiss the PDP’s disgraceful and unpatriotic call as a pitiful distraction from the failure of its internal democracy and embarrassing disintegration,” Morka said.
