The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of betraying the democratic legacy of MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, which was annulled by the military government.
The PDP claims that the APC has subjected Nigerians to a life of uncertainty and poverty, contrary to Abiola’s vision for a better Nigeria.
This statement is likely a political jab, as June 12 marks the anniversary of the annulled election and is celebrated as Democracy Day in Nigeria.
The PDP’s criticism may be seen as an attempt to highlight the APC’s perceived shortcomings in governance and democratic values.
