A group, committed to mobilizing support for President Jonathan’s re-election, the Goodluck Lagos Grassroots Project, GLGP, has declared that propaganda will not give victory to the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28 election.
According to the group, the APC could not point out its contribution to Nigeria’s democratic experience except its well-packaged propaganda to mislead the citizens.
This was disclosed in Lagos by the Chairman of the group, Alhaji Mufutau Babalola, adding that APC had lost focus as an opposition party.
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 recognize the 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.”
According GLGP chairman, the cabal surrounding the APC Presidential candidate would not allow him win next month’s general elections in the country, adding that the group has aligned with President Goodluck Jonathan’s position that despite the intimidation being mounted against members of the ruling party by opposition parties, the PDP will the forthcoming election.
Babalola however called on Buhari to accept the challenge to engage Jonathan in public debate if he understands the dynamics of Nigeria’s economy.
“It is certain that the APC is afraid of losing the next presidential election, hence the use of undemocratic means to achieve victory”, he said.
