The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State has alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s opponents were responsible for kidnappings, killings, and insecurity in Nigeria.

The party also stated that despite their criticisms, Tinubu must complete his two terms in office as had been the case with other presidents before him.

“All the opposition you are seeing against Tinubu is opposition instigated by a particular tribe that has held Nigeria hostage. I won’t call their name,” APC Chairman in Enugu State, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah stated.

“They are the tribe that is in our forest kidnapping us; they are the tribe raping our women. And for the first time, they met their match in President Tinubu. That is why they are crying.”

Addressing a well-attended stakeholders meeting held on Saturday at the party Secretariat, GRA, Enugu, Agballah insisted that Tinubu must complete his tenure, stressing that “Muhammadu Buhari, despite all his shortcomings, did two terms.”

He criticised the rumoured coalition being anchored on the plank of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to remove Tinubu come 2027, insisting that it was dead on arrival.

Agballah said: “When you hear of SDP, this SDP is a Fulani-based party that wants once more, to grab power because Tinubu has dislodged them from controlling the security, armed forces of Nigeria. We must carry this information to our villages. Their plan is to use SDP to scatter Nigeria. We must take this information to our people in the villages.

“El-Rufai is the poster boy of that tribe. They have learned that we have garrisoned APCs and they have no way there.”

On the politics of Enugu State, he said the problem with the state was that the oppressors have obliterated the opposition, but “APC is the only platform kept by God and they will not obliterate it.”

According to him, the only way Enugu State can liberate itself is to align with Tinubu, adding that the APC would win Enugu State come 2027.

Agballah also spoke on discipline in the state APC, stressing that the leadership of the party under his watch adopted the policy of “zero tolerance for moles” to sanitize the party.

He recalled the case of a certain Senator, who was recently suspended from the party because “he was speaking from both sides of his mouth.”

The event also witnessed the new members who defected from the PDP and Labour Party in the 17 local councils of the state to the APC.
