APC levels serious allegations against PDP over ASUU strike, minimum wage, oil marketers' agitation

- The All Progressives Congress has accused the Peoples Democratic Party of instigating the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities

- The APC also accused the PDP of instigating the agitation for a new minimum wage for workers by the organised labour and a demand for outstanding subsidy claim by petroleum marketers

- The opposition party has denied all these allegations and berated the deputy national publicity secretary of the APC, Yekini Nabena

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been accused of instigating the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the agitation for a new minimum wage for workers by the organised labour and a demand for outstanding subsidy claim by petroleum marketers.

Nigerian Tribune reports that the allegations were levelled against the opposition party by the deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena.

Legit.ng gathers that Nabena made the accusation at an interactive session with journalists in Abuja on Thursday night, December 13.

He said: “You see, the law we are using now was signed by the PDP. So, you as ruling party, you created a law and you are now afraid to use what you created. Does that sound right? You see, what the PDP are doing, they are playing out what they planned in Dubai. This is what they designed in Dubai. They have started playing all of them one by one.

“They started with the Labour agitation for minimum wage. They tried that one to cause problem in the country. It didn’t work; they brought ASUU strike. It didn’t work and they now brought fuel scarcity. These are all the games they planned in Dubai.

“So, their last plot is the Electoral Act. If the president had signed, they would still go and demonstrate. We are waiting for them.

“This bill you are talking about, how can you put in a bill that results be transmitted electronically from the poling unit? What are they trying to do? These are part of their Dubai plan, trying to bring the same Russians to hack the system.

"That’s their joker. So, once President Buhari signed the bill, they would instruct their Russian client to just hack into the system and transmit the figures. We all know what they are doing. This is their last joker. They all went to Russia, once this bill is signed, they will hack the system.'

According to Nabena, the demands of ASUU, NLC and petroleum marketers are legitimate, but the timing is suspicious.

Nabena added: “Yes, that is what I am saying, because they want distractions in the system, so that they will now tell the people that APC can’t handle the ASUU strike, they can’t handle the fuel subsidy, they can’t handle the minimum wage.

"You see that everybody is now coming up to demand for what is due to them one way or the other at this particular time because they also know that elections are coming. Yes, they are legitimate but at this time, they want to create a distraction and once it is there, they want to capitalise on that."

However, the ruling party's allegations were dismissed by the national publicity secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan.

Ologbondiyan berated the ruling party's deputy national publicity secretary for alleging that PDP instigated ASUU and the NLC to destabilise the country.

He said: “Well, our reaction is that Yekeen Nabena is an illiterate. He doesn’t understand the strength of the issues that he is discussing. If he does, he won’t be talking about an attempt to attack a system that hasn’t been formulated, that hasn’t been created and as far as we are concerned, those dubious antics are associated with the APC.

“For instance, in 2014-15, they were the harbingers of hate speech. Today, they are the ones complaining. They are known to have rigged elections, suddenly increasing the number of voters in Kano and other states and at the end of the day alleging rigging.

“So, it is in the character of the APC to cry wolf where there is none. They have further demonstrated lack of capacity in knowledge by saying that we are behind ASUU strike, the demand for payment of subsidy and NLC demand for minimum wage. It is rather unfortunate."
