The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to take a cue from Senator Ibrahim Mantu to confess the atrocities committed by its members against the country, instead of indulging in name-calling.

In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, APC expressed surprise that PDP chose to ignore its shortcomings by going out of its way to raise accusing fingers at the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. 

But riled by the childish exchanges between the two big political parties, the Take Back Nigeria movement, said it was appalled that both APC and PDP have so terribly debased the seriousness of governance that they have now resorted to publishing public lists of which party was more corrupt than the other.

TakeBackNigeria stated: “Since 1999, the APC and PDP have ruled Nigeria, and we have nothing to show for it as a people.

Now, these two wrecking machines are trying to take Nigerians for another horrendous four-year ride in 2019. We want to make it clear to both parties that Nigerians are saying to them enough is enough.

“For every looter called Uche Secondus in the PDP, there is a Bukola Saraki in the APC. For every seizure of our sisters in Chibok under the PDP, there is an equally disastrous assault on our daughters in Dapchi under the APC. 

“Our movement believes that Nigeria deserves better than these evil twins of corruption and mismanagement called APC and PDP. 

Our movement notes that, despite all the lip service being paid to anti-corruption by the Buhari government, not a single major conviction of corrupt politicians has been concluded by this administration.” 

The group stressed that it will not allow those who have collectively worked to mortgage Nigeria’s future, “to white wash and rewrite their sordid history before our very eyes. 

We are vigilant. We are watching. We will call out falsehoods. We will expose both the PDP and APC’s corruption.”
