ELDER Statesman and First Republic Aviation Minister, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, on Thursday, said since 1999, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressive Congress, APC, have sunk the country into “the stinking catacomb of corruption, looting and religious-cum-tribal bigotry.”
He also accused the two parties of goofing in selection of their presidential candidates and running mates because of their insensitivity to the plights and needs of Nigerians.
Speaking with newsmen in his Ukpor home in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Chief Amechi accused PDP of playing smart and cleverness by half in selecting its flagbearers, while APC presented expired drug to heal a patient that is near coma.
According to Chief Amechi, “PDP acted without wisdom and foresight and threw away the principle of equity and balance in selecting a northern candidate who may be capable, but it is not his term and selecting a running mate exhibited cleverness by half.
“APC paid deaf ears to the cry of the nation. They suicidally fielded mono-religious flagbearers to rule a multi-religious nation,” warning INEC and the Supreme Court not to repeat what they did last time.
Describing Labour Party, LP, as a third force, springing up, and would appear that God now wants to openly act and save his people, he added that the emergence of Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba Ahmed ticket is an opportunity which God has given to the longsuffering people of Nigeria to save and take back their country, which has been economically and politically raped for many years…
