APC Professionals Council Warns Opposition Against Inciting Utterances

The leadership of APC Professionals Council has cautioned the opposition , particularly the Labour Party and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against  making unsavoury and  inciting utterances.

The council in a statement released yesterday said the inflammatory comments of the opposition who are threatening to disrupt swearing-in of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu on May 29 could be a recipe to stir the crisis.

The council in a statement signed by its  national director-general  Hon. Seyi Bamigbade appealed to parties who are aggrieved about the Feb. 25 presidential and National Assembly elections to utilise legal means to seek redress rather than heating up the polity with unguarded utterances.

“We have watched with utmost concern how the opposition parties, particularly the Labour Party and the PDP have consistently made efforts to undermine the country ‘s democratic institutions by threatening to block the swearing-in of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu and his vice, Sen. Kashim Shettima come May 29.

“One of such cases is the recent appearance of the Labour Party vice presidential candidate, Mr. Datti Baba-Ahmed where he threatened that Nigeria’s hard-fought democracy will end if Bola Tinubu is sworn-in.

The council also called on security agencies to take proactive steps to ensure that the desperation of a few individuals does not throw the country into anarchy.
