The All Progressives Congress (APC) is
wishing Nigerians a happy Valentine’s Day, as they join the rest of the
world to mark the Day today.
The party urges them to prepare to
“celebrate their imminent liberation from the PDP-imposed yoke” under
which they have laboured for many years.
National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement in Lagos yesterday
that “but for the insistence of the PDP and the Jonathan administration
that the suffering of Nigerians must be prolonged for another six
weeks, the Valentine’s Day, which is a global celebration of love and
affection, would have also marked the celebration of freedom from the
PDP servitude by all Nigerians.”
The party, however, said that “those
who orchestrated a needless postponement of the elections have only won a
Pyrrhic victory as the delay will only further sweeten the joys of
victory over the oppressors of the Nigerian people, over those who have
looted the country’s treasury dry and left broken bones and gnashing of
teeth in their wake.
”Saturday, February 14 would have been a
day of double celebration, of Valentine’s Day and of the liberation of
the long-suffering people of Nigeria from the burden imposed on them by a
clueless, incompetent and purposeless PDP federal government.
”While they could not change Valentine’s
Day from February 14, they have temporarily delayed the celebration of
freedom by their orchestrated six-week postponement of the elections.
Nigerians should see this as a temporary setback. They should continue
to maintain their unwavering enthusiasm for change by getting their PVCs
ready to vote out the yoke masters.
”Nigerians must continue to insist that the elections be held as rescheduled and in line with constitutional provisions.”
