The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of waging a “political genocide” against it, dismissing claims by the APC that the party (PDP) is no longer a functioning political platform as “most unfortunate.”

The PDP accused the ruling party of orchestrating defections among its political office holders, describing it as a strategy to weaken the opposition.

Felix Morka, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, had in a television interview stated, “The PDP is no longer able to call itself a political party. The PDP is incapable, by its own internal dysfunction, of offering its members any sensible, credible, smart, actionable platform to pursue their political aspirations.”

Responding, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, said Morka and his cohorts were being delusional.

He noted that despite the large-scale defections secured by force and inducement by the APC, Nigerians have consistently rejected the ruling party, which, according to him, is ruining the country and its citizens.

“This is evident in the struggle their party has had with membership registration, where in many states governors have copied the database of state empowerment programmes to populate their state registers. The recent disruption of the City Boys event in Owerri is a foreshadow of what awaits them all over the country.”

He added, “For Morka, who is struggling to become a modern-day Joseph Goebbels, he should remember that delusional propaganda does not just destroy a nation but ultimately consumes its proponents, as it did in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.

“His defence of the political genocide of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu APC-led Federal Government, is akin to Goebbels’ defence of Hitler’s pogroms and concentration camps.”

“We can assure Morka and his ilk in the ruining APC government that when the history of this period is written and the mortal threat to democracy is documented, his name will be boldly written in the pages of infamy as one of those who actively defended the Tinubu maladministration.”
