The Plateau State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has said it is confident that 2015 would be the year when PDP would be shown the way out.

In a statement signed by its organising secretary Mr. Garba Pankwal, he said PDP has been dominant since the begining of the democratic dispensation in 1999 and all efforts by opposition parties to wrestle power from them have failed, but we are confident that this time would be different. 

He further said that the only legacy left behind by PDP was that of bad governance, high corruption and embezzlement of public funds, averring that the 15 years they have been in power have brought untold hardship to ordinary Plateau citizens. 

Pankwal then condemned the Plateau State Government for its inability to conduct Local government Elections which is 3 years overdue, saying the ruling party is afraid of losing all the councils to opposition parties. He said “It is undemocratic to refused to conduct council elections, it runs contrary to the provision of the 1999 constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

In introducing the party to newsmen, he went on to say that APC is a political party founded on the pillar of neutrality, which promotes national reconciliation, peace and unity. “It is a political party like none other, it creates new democratic frontiers, reinvents political competitiveness and challenges the status quo based on the strategic objective of decentralising and democratising power,” he said.

He went on to clarify in his statement that the three political Parties in the state, ACN, ANPP, and CPC had taken final decision regarding the merger to become APC and had unanimously passed a vote of confidence on the APC interim national chairman Chief Bisi Akande.
