Spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been destroying Nigeria since return to civilian rule in 1999.
Baba-Ahmed stated this Tuesday during an appearance on a Channels TV programme.
He was reacting to a comment by the PDP Governors Forum that the presidency has turned the Presidential Villa to APC headquarters to coerce its governors.
The NEF spokesman said that Nigerians know that there is no fundamental difference between APC and PDP.
He said that the two parties have destroyed the nation since 1999 and keep doing so.

“If (PDP) governors have evidence that the state house, the villa, is using extra-legal and political muscle to peer away governors from their parties, I wish they will share some of this information with us.
”There have been defections from both sides. Like I said earlier on, we are dealing with one and the same thing.
“We have governors from the other party who just change dress and come back to sit and say I’m APC. The next day, a governor will also defect and say I’m APC. These are the same people.
“In the last 16 years, since 1999, it is these two parties that have destroyed this country and they are playing the same game, all over again.”
He warned that by 2023, the APC “will have completely wrecked” and berated the PDP for not providing a credible alternative.
He said neither party is interested in the nation’s development but rather how to claim the 2023 presidency.
“What did the PDP say it is going to do about bringing these different parts of the country together? Where is the economic blueprint to do with unemployment; to do with the building of the Nigerian economy, all they are interested in is 2023
“What are they going to do with 2023 because between now and 2023, in one and half year, APC would have completely wrecked this country. You are going to take over a country that is effectively destroyed by a party that has been substantially produced by PDP,” Baba-Ahmed said.
