On Sunday, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) asserted that the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is now in power, had undone every advancement made by the nation’s founding fathers.
The opposition party added that the ruling party had brought Nigeria back to a state of servitude.
This assertion was made by PDP in a statement issued on Sunday by its spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba.
The PDP claims that Nigeria’s 63rd anniversary of independence should serve as a wake-up call for all Nigerians to defend democracy and the rule of law.

The party said, “The PDP notes with pain that the APC has reversed all the gains made by our founding fathers as well as the immeasurable achievements recorded by the PDP in its 16 years in government; a period widely acknowledged as Nigeria’s Golden Years.
“The independence of any nation and its sovereignty is embedded in the right, liberty and freedom of citizens, especially to participate in governance through free, fair and credible electoral process under a transparent and responsible government that is answerable to the people with utmost respect for the Rule of Law and Constitutionally guaranteed rights of citizens.
“Painfully, the APC administrations has practically returned our nation to a state of bondage; a nation ruled by circles of cabals where citizens are treated with utter disdain like conquered people; where the government has no value for the lives and welfare of citizens; where dissenting voices are treated like enemies of the state and where primitive dictatorship, violation of human rights and electoral malpractices are elevated as state policies.”
