Our Condition as ‘Opposition Party’ is Not Permanent – APC
Sorie Abubakar The All People’s Congress (APC) has reiterated its stance as a legitimate opposition party, asserting its right to protest and associate freely while criticizing the government’s handling of its activities.
Addressing the media during an event organized by the Ministry of Information and Civic Education, Minority Leader Abdul Kargbo asserted that the party’s current status as an opposition party is temporary. He emphasized that “No Condition is Permanent,” reflecting the evolving political landscape in the country.
Kargbo also criticized the current government’s approach towards the APC, particularly concerning alleged civil arrests during party activities. He urged the government to engage directly with the APC rather than involving the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in making arrests.
“I have engaged some stakeholders within the government. If issues arise during our activities as a party, the government should contact us directly instead of deploying the CID to make arrests,” he stated.
The briefing turned contentious as discussions veered towards the actions of former government officials. Kargbo defended APC members whose properties were allegedly seized under the Commission of Inquiry, while government spokesperson Alhaji Alpha Khan reaffirmed the principle of accountability for all officials.
