The Goodluck Lagos Grassroots Project (GLGP) has slammed the All progressives Congress (APC) for not playing the correct role of an opposition party in the country’s polity.
The group further condemned the APC for not engaging in issue-based campaign but resorting to the use of propaganda to mislead Nigerians.
Speaking via a statement in Lagos, issued by its Chairman Alhaji Mufutau Babalola, the GLGP said the APC has lost its focus as a political party, adding that its presidential candidat, General Muhammadu Buhari would lose the forthcoming election because of the cabal surrounding him.
Babalola said: “The purpose of an opposition party in any democracy is to put the ruling party on its toes through constructive criticism, but the APC fails to understand this aspect of democratic government.
“APC failed when graded in all indices of democracy. It has failed to offer useful advice on governance. It also failed to recognise success recorded by President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda in all the sectors of the economy. The only area the opposition has succeeded is using deceit and propaganda to win people’s sympathy.”
Babalola further challenged general Buhari to accept the challenge of a debate and slug it out with president Goodluck Jonatha if he feels he has a full understanding of the dynamics of Nigeria’s economy.
He said: “It is certain that the APC is afraid of losing the next presidential election, hence the use of undemocratic means to achieve victory.”
