The amendment of the constitution of the All Progressives Congress( APC) just few months after its creation is a direct consequence of lack of direction and unpreparedness, and an attempt to redeem a jaundiced party law, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said.
John Oyegun, the APC national chairman, had declared at the special convention of the party on Wednesday that Nigeria was worse off today under the PDP government than it was in 1999.
Replying, PDP described APC as an enemy of democracy.
Speaking through its spokesman, Olisa Metuh (pictured with Sullivan Chime, governor of ENugu state), PDP said the development had confirmed APC as a disorganised political party lacking the ability to effectively administer itself and wondered how it would govern a nation as complex as Nigeria.

Describing the APC special convention as a charade and an exercise designed to mask its inadequacies and paper over the numerous cracks in the opposition party, PDP further branded APC “a collection of strange bed fellows and enemies of democracy”.
“In APC, Nigerians have continued to witness a rickety, wobbly vehicle bound to jerk to a stop midway, abandoning the occupants to the mercy of
inclement elements,” Metuh said.
“Of course, Nigerians have noted that the PDP remains the only steady and stable platform for the growth and progress of democracy in our dear country.”
