THE NATION - A National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is no threat despite of the emergence of ex-Governor Adamu Mua'zu as its National Chairman.
He said change was inevitable in the country since the PDP had embarked on self-destruct.
He also asked the Federal Government to stop the growing impunity in Rivers State so as not to encourage people to resort to self-help.
Tinubu spoke to reporters after the Eight Interim National Executive Committee meeting of the APC in Abuja. He said the nation cannot afford another emergency in Rivers State.
He said: "PDP! Threat , what kind of threat? What is my own with PDP? I want PDP to wreck. Why should I think about them? They have wrecked the country. They are self-destruct."
He said the NEC meeting went well without any rancour or division.
He said: "The meeting went well and was productive. It addressed various landmines of anti-democratic issues in the country, particularly the case of Rivers, where freedom is being hindered and the respect for human lives is no longer the sanctity of our system and that of respect forthe rule of law.
"The National Publicity Secretary of the party will address you and further on this.
"We are still working and praying with those emergencies. We don't want to create another corridor and we don't want a government that cannot have due tolerance for opposition at the centre.
"The abuse of power must stop in order not to encourage people to self help.
Tinubu dismissed insinuations on the alleged emergence of a new APC.
He said some leaders, who were absent at the session, sent words to the National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande.
He added: "There is nothing like new APC. Oh they are repackaging. Ok there is OMO. Everybody can brand and say new Honda, new KIA and new anything you want to say.
"Anybody can be absent with excuses. There are reasons others personally stated or forwarded to the national chairman.
"There are some intruders and alarm rang and they ran away."
