Peoples Democratic Party has accused the Nigerian Labour Congress and civil society groups of bias in their actions.
The party therefore called on them to be objective on issues of national importance.
The party in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Wednesday, accused Labour
and the civil society groups of singling out the PDP for blame while
turning a blind eye to the abuses of democratic process and rule of law
by the opposition political parties, especially the Action Congress of
Nigeria.
The statement read in part, “For reasons
whose border is very distant to objectivity, the PDP has been the
subject of undeserved victimisation, of negative profiling by the labour
and civil society groups who at the same time play the ostrich to the
lawlessness and pyre of democracy by the opposition political parties.
“We are large in size no doubt. We
control the largest of the nation’s apparatus of governance and should
enjoy greater spotlight, positive or negative.
“However, this should not entail the
death of the ‘watchdog’ in the civil society and Labour in the face of
anti-democratic entanglements by the opposition. Such will result in
dysfunctional development of dire consequences.”
The PDP also accused the groups of
maintaining “uncomfortable sealed slip” over what it called “the mockery
of democracy in Lagos and Edo States”.
