The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed confidence that Nigerians will vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming elections.
Drawing parallels to the recent electoral defeat of Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP), the PDP believes a similar fate awaits the APC.
The PDP's spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, articulated this sentiment, stating, "The victory of John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress in Ghana is a clear demonstration of the triumph of the power of the people over misrule and oppressive policies of government." He further alleged that the economic policies under the APC have plunged many Nigerians into poverty, accusing the government of being indifferent and unaccountable amidst widespread suffering.
This announcement comes on the heels of Ghana's electoral commission declaring Mahama as the winner of the presidential election, where he defeated the incumbent vice-president and NPP candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, with 56.5 percent of the votes.
The PDP sees this as a signal that "the days of the APC in office are numbered," as Ologunagba put it, emphasizing the potential for significant political shifts in Nigeria.
However, the PDP's statement has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians. While some citizens are hopeful for political change, others remain skeptical about the PDP's ability to deliver effective governance. Critics within the discourse argue that internal conflicts and lack of unity within opposition parties could hinder any efforts to unseat the APC.
One commentator on a popular forum remarked, "With the present crop of opposition parties who are at loggerheads with each other, it will be a tall dream to remove this APC that will pay anything for rigging."
