Our policies not ‘anti-people’, APC replies PDP

The ruling All Progressives Congress has stated that the Tinubu-led administration’s policies are not anti-people, noting that the present administration is focused on uplifting the socio-economic well-being shortly.

Recall that Peoples Democratic Party chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, on Thursday at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja had expressed concerns over the country’s deteriorating socio-economic situation, which he blamed on policies of the APC-led government.

Reacting to the former Senate President’s allegations the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, said that the ruling party had no intention of jeopardising democracy.

Ibrahim said, “The APC as a ruling party is not intending to foist on the country anything that is going to injure democracy.

“The APC is a progressive party; it is a party that is out to bring changes that will bring about the dividend 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 the 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.
