The party said it was disheartening to see the APC resorted to baseless accusations.
The Peoples Redemption Party has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of ruining Nigeria, rather than ruling it, since former president, Muhammadu Buhari, assumed power in 2015.
The PRP made the accusation in a statement on Wednesday signed by its Acting National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq.
The statement was reacting to the ruling party’s allegation that the opposition political parties instigated the recent protests in Kano and Niger states to undermine the Bola Tinubu government.
The PRP urged the government to stop the blame game and refrain from diverting the legitimate concerns of Nigerians, noting that anger against imposed hunger needed no instigation because it’s a reflection of the growing discontent among citizens.
Acknowledging the suffering from bad governance being experienced by the people, the opposition party asked the government to address the reasons for their discontent and deliver on the promises they made to the people, rather than describing them as “pawns of the opposition.”
It read, “It is quite disheartening to see the All Progressives Congress resort to baseless accusations and fear-mongering in an attempt to deflect attention from the legitimate concerns raised by the Nigerian people. The protests in Minna and Kano were not orchestrated by opposition parties but rather a grass-root expression of frustration and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in the country.
“The citizens of Nigeria have the right to protest peacefully and demand accountability from their government. It is disingenuous for the APC to dismiss these protests as mere instigation by the opposition, when, in fact, they are a reflection of the growing discontent among the populace.
“Instead of labelling protesters as pawns of the opposition, the government should listen to their grievances and work towards addressing the root causes of their discontent. It is only through dialogue and genuine engagement that a lasting solution to the challenges facing our country can be found.
“It is high time the APC stopped playing the blame game and focused on delivering on its promises to the Nigerian people. The citizens of this country deserve better than empty rhetoric and false accusations. Let us come together as a nation to work towards a brighter and more prosperous future for all.
“We in the PRP are not for any gang up against the APC administrations that have ruined rather than ruled this country for the last decade but we stand with the ordinary Nigerians across the length and breadth of this country suffering from bad governance and urge that the governments at all levels listen and address the yearnings of Nigerians,” it added.
