Ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has stated that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration’s policies are not anti-people, noting that it is focused on uplifting the people’s socio-economic well-being.
It would be recalled that the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, BoT, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Adolphus Wabara, on Thursday at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja, had expressed concern over the country’s deteriorating socio-economic situation, which he blamed on the policies of the APC-led government.
Reacting to the former Senate president’s allegations, the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, said the ruling party had no intention of jeopardising democracy.
Ibrahim said, “The APC, as a ruling party, does not intend to foist on the country, anything that is going to injure democracy.
“It is a progressive party; it is a party that will bring the dividends of democracy to the people. Democracy is only vibrant when there is opposition, but let the opposition be constructive, not destructive.
“The country had been bleeding heavily under the leadership of the PDP; they mismanaged the country. So Nigerians are still watching and beginning to understand what change means.”
He, however, urged the opposition to bury the thought of policy reversal and support government.
The party also dispelled claims by the opposition that it rigged the September 21 governorship election in Edo State as part of plans to foist a one-party system and totalitarian rule on the country.
