The All Progressives Congress, APC, has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for calling what it described as a foreign invasion of Nigeria.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, in a statement on Tuesday, described the call as reckless and unpatriotic.
The new factional chairman of the PDP, Tanimu Turaki, while addressing journalists on Tuesday over the crisis ravaging his party, called on foreign powers to intervene in Nigeria to save the country from alleged “Christian genocide” and to protect democracy.
Reacting, the APC spokesperson said Turaki appeared desperate, confused, incoherent, and grossly lacking in stamina and capacity to manage his party’s crisis.
According to him, Nigerians expected that Turaki would set himself on an urgent peace-building mission to bring his party’s warring factions together in dialogue towards finding possible pathways to peace and reconciliation.
