Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should perish the thoughts of ruling for 40 years.
The PDP said this as it reacts to a statement credited to one time governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff.
The party noted that it pitied Sheriff and his co-travelers as their conspiracies against Nigeria will surely come to naught.
Sheriff, who wants to contest for the APC chairmanship had said that “APC to be in government in the next 30 to 40 years”.
But the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan in a statement on Monday, said that: ‘Nigerians are resolute in their decision not to allow the APC and its associated bloodletting, killings, violations, corruption and economic hardship in our polity, beyond May 29, 2023,”

He went on to say that Sheriff must know that Nigerians are aware of the desperate plots by the APC and its members that are behind acts of terrorism, banditry, treasury looting, violation of rights and electoral manipulations to continue to enjoy official cover using the APC as a platform for their reprehensible activities.
The PDP said: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told the former Governor of Borno state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to perish the thoughts of All Progressives Congress (APC) ruling for 40 years, as Nigerians are resolute in their decision not to allow the APC and its associated bloodletting, killings, violations, corruption and economic hardship in our polity, beyond May 29, 2023,” Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesperson, said in a statement.
‘The PDP’s position is predicated on the arrogant and reckless assertion by Sheriff that their aspiration is to continue to foist APC in government for the next 40 years, in defiance of the decision by Nigerians to do away with their party by 2023.
“Ali Modu Sheriff must know that Nigerians are aware of the desperate plots by the APC and its members that are behind acts of terrorism, banditry, treasury looting, violation of rights and electoral manipulations in our country, to continue to enjoy official cover using the APC as a platform for their reprehensible activities.

“Nigerians have decided to kick out the APC in the 2023 general election and no amount of manipulations or evil machination can sway that resolve to ensure that the APC does not stay a day beyond May 29, 2023.
“The PDP therefore has nothing but pity for Ali Modu Sheriff and his co-travelers as the conspiracies against our dear nation will surely come to naught.”
