Mogaji (Hon) Seye Oladejo.
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to respond with justified brutality to the latest round of intellectual laziness from the erstwhile self-acclaimed largest party in Africa, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which claims that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has “surrendered” to terrorists.
Let it be clear:
Only a frustrated, irrelevant, and idea-bankrupt opposition would mistake strategic leadership for surrender.
PDP is simply angry that Nigeria is not burning the way it desperately hoped for.
PDP’s Armageddon Prophecy Has Collapsed – And It Hurts Them Badly
Nothing exposes the PDP’s hypocrisy more than the successful rescue of the Eruku 38.
Their safe return – secured through intelligence-driven, coordinated operations – has shattered the opposition’s dream of a collapsing nation.
Even more painful for them is the steady, coordinated progress toward freeing the remaining captives in the kidnappers’ enclave.
These are the results of leadership, not the emotional press releases and tearful excuses that defined the PDP’s 16 wasted years.
Now that insecurity is being dismantled, the PDP will have to manufacture a new tragedy to stay relevant because their favourite political oxygen is running out.
We understand their distress.
PDP Reached the Peak of Foolishness: Calling Tinubu’s Cancelled Foreign Trip “Tokenism”
It was the height of mindlessness and illogical reasoning for the PDP to describe President Tinubu’s decision to cancel his foreign trip in order to personally take charge of the rescue operations as “tokenism.”
Only a party that treated governance like beer-parlour gossip would trivialize such an act of responsibility.
When a Commander-in-Chief suspends foreign engagements to coordinate a national security operation, it is called leadership – not the nonchalance that defined the PDP era.
They should be advised:
It is sometimes honorable to keep quiet when there is absolutely nothing sensible to say.
Their silence would have saved them this embarrassment.
PDP Has the Moral Authority of a Pickpocket Lecturing on Integrity
This is the same PDP that:
• Watched Boko Haram grow into a monster,
• Lost territories to terrorists,
• Negotiated ransom payments like a routine government function,
• Allowed citizens to be abducted in hundreds,
• Turned Nigeria into a global symbol of insecurity.
A party with this stain on its record is not qualified to lecture President Tinubu on security.
Tinubu is fixing what PDP destroyed.
That is the truth they cannot stomach.
Temporary School Closures Are Not Surrender – They Are Strategic Protection
Only PDP, in its characteristic shallowness, would prefer children be exposed to danger just so it can convene another doom-laden press conference.
A temporary, intelligence-guided suspension of school activities is called prevention
-a concept the PDP never understood in 16 years of governance-by-negligence.
Tinubu Is Doing What PDP Could Never Do – Plan, Fight, Attack, and Win
From overhauling defence leadership, procurement to deploying advanced surveillance, to strengthening inter-agency operations, President Tinubu has shown more political will in one year than PDP mustered in sixteen.
The results are visible.
The opposition is in pain.
With the Economy Rising and Insecurity Falling, PDP’s Frustration Is Understandable
As:
• Hostages are freed,
• Terror networks crumble,
• Saboteurs run for cover,
• And the economy steadily recovers,
the PDP finds itself stranded on the sidelines – angry, ashamed, and irrelevant.
We extend our empathy to them.
Losing in this national game of wits is emotionally draining.
PDP Is Unhappy Because Nigeria Is Not Failing
Let Nigerians understand this clearly:
The PDP is disappointed that Nigeria is healing.
They thrive on tragedy.
They breathe through insecurity.
They survive on economic pain.
But Nigeria is rising – painfully for them, joyfully for the citizens.
Lagos APC to PDP: You Cannot Curse a Nation and Hope to Rule It
Stop weaponizing insecurity.
Stop wishing for bloodshed.
Stop politicizing schoolchildren’s safety.
Stop disgracing your party.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President for this season – prepared, steady, and committed to securing this nation beyond the wildest nightmares of saboteurs.
Nigeria will never return to the era of helplessness, surrender, and fear that PDP proudly authored.
