“PDP responsible for Nigeria’s slide to one-party state” – APC chieftain

A foundation member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osita Okechukwu, has blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Nigeria’s potential slide toward a one-party state, dismissing claims that the ruling APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are responsible.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Okechukwu argued that the PDP’s 16 years in power (1999-2015) contributed to a culture of impunity and political manipulation, which has had lasting effects on the country’s democracy.
