The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to reject the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2023 general election, saying the ruling party has plunged the country into a very grim situation.

The PDP described the APC and its leaders as “grossly incompetent, wicked and il-informed”, stating that the party should not be entrusted with power again.

The Director of Campaigns of the Delta PDP Campaign Council, Funkekeme Solomon, said this during a press conference to announce the commencement of local government to local government campaigns in Asaba, the Delta State capital on Monday.

Funkekeme said Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world, amidst unparalleled insecurity which he said has made the country an insecure place for lives and property “as a result of APC’s misrule” at the federal level.

“Besides, unemployment, inflation, and food insecurity have brought untold hardship on Nigerians, the type we have never seen since the evolution of this nation.

“PDP believes that Nigeria needs seriously to depart from our current experience of electing incompetence and free herself from the APC tragedy that has turned a land flowing with milk and honey into a suffering nation.

“We agree that rather than present candidates for the 2023 elections, APC should be apologising to Nigerians for the rot it has brought the nation into.

“The clueless party and its officials lack the gumption to understand and appreciate the enormity of the problems APC has created and so lacks the basis to even field candidates.

“It is against this background that we call on Nigerians not to relent in holding APC to account for the worsening state of affairs in Nigeria, and therefore reject it with their ballots at the polls by voting massively for all the candidates of PDP across board for the purpose of resetting and rescuing Nigeria from the untidy and chaotic path that APC has brought her,” he stated.

Funkekeme also urged the people of Delta State to further concretise their continuing support to PDP with enormous and overwhelming votes for the candidates.

He described the concluded ward to ward campaigns of the PDP as successful, adding that the party will continue to engage in issue-based campaigns for the local government tours which begins on December 21.

“The Atiku-Okowa presidential ticket is what Nigeria needs to reset and rescue this nation from the mess that the APC has plunged her into.

“Our governorship ticket of Sheriff Oborevwori and Monday Onyeme is what Delta State needs to build further on the good legacies of the administration of former Governor James Ibori, former Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, and the legacies of the wonderful administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who is also the Vice Presidential candidate of PDP. This will be done through the M.O.R.E. Agenda,” he added.
