APC, a container of toxins – Jonathan

In an apparent reference to the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday described the party as a container of toxic substances that was disaster bound, saying it posed no challenge to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ahead the forthcoming general polls.

The President  made this allusion yesterday at the PDP North West Unity and Reconciliation Rally which took place at the Murtala Square, Kaduna attended by Vice President, Arc. Namadi Sambo, the National Chairman of the PDP, Alh. Adamu Muazu, seven PDP governors among others  in a sea of unruly party supporters.
Said the President:  “PDP is the only party that you can say ‘is for the people, by the people and of the people’. We have been told that some people are ganging up in some different names. I can assure you that this  is not the first time that there has been a gang up.

“From 1999 there was a gang up.  Two, three political parties came together. They brought a Presidential  candidate from one, Secretary to the Federal government from one and so forth. The gang up will fail.

“And I use to tell people that, if you put oil in a container, then pour kerosene in that container, then pour sulfuric acid in that container, you bring petrol and pour in that container and then hydrochloric acid, what do you think will happen to that container? -   Disaster!

“So the gang up will fail. It is just as you mix acid and other things in a container. It is not a new thing. They will continue to gang up, but will fail.
