The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized the All Progressive Congress (APC) for drawing a comparison between a democratically elected presidency with dictatorships.
A statement issued by PDP, Olisa Metuh, National Publicity Secretary on Thursday in Abuja said that the comparison by the APC was; "a tacit acknowledgment that it was planning to take Nigeria back to dictatorship".
The statement also claimed that he PDP has evidence of meetings held outside the country in pursuit of the APC's ignoble objective.
This, it said, "was so evidenced in the fact that the attacks gained "ricocheting tempo" each time President Jonathan moved notches higher in his transformation programme".
The party said it is alerting the nation that the ‘Plan B’ of the APC is to use insurgency to unleash unprecedented mayhem when it loses the 2015 general election and forcefully take over power.
"The APC has never left the nation in doubt of its preference. It wants a return to barefaced tyranny, to dictatorship as previously unleashed on the nation by a hue in its top leadership. But Nigerians have handed the party a shocker – we have crossed the Red Sea and shall never go back to Egypt,” the statement said.
The statement further argued that it was common knowledge that insurgency in the north predated the present administration; it was not a mere coincidence.
It said in spite of this well planned distraction, the steady delivery of the transformation programme of President Jonathan was going on.
The PDP said it was a preposterous distortion of facts and history to compare the Jonathan presidency to either Gen. Yakubu Gowon or Gen. Sani Abacha, even though the three of them come from the minority ethnic group.
"It is incontrovertible that pound for pound, no previous administration compares to President Jonathan in quality delivery within the first three years of governance.
"Under the current administration of President Jonathan, the wheel of democracy, together with its immense benefits, has turned full circle, giving Nigerians all liberties, an opportunity that the opposition has unfortunately applied so indecently to hurl all manner of abuses on the president", the PDP added.
The PDP concluded it's statement by re-issuing its challenge for a public debate on the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan.
