Presidential aspirant on the platform of the National Action Council (NAC) in the 2007 general elections, Reverend Olapade Agoro, has called all those elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including and all the governors criminals and jackals.

Agoro who could not hold back his annoyance following the statement credited to President Jonathan that the South Western part of the country was ruled by rascals, further likened the PDP to darkness under which, he said, the country cannot thrive.

He said the President was power drunk and was very desperate to retain the power.

He also accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of dancing to the tune of the PDP and expressed pessimism over the conduct of the forthcoming elections in the country.

“You should ask yourself if anything can come out of the party. Darkness will always produce darkness.

“PDP has never done anything good in Nigeria. They are a bunch of jackals and since they are not known to have done anything good in the past, how can they conduct a free and fair election?

“The PDP governors and the President are criminals in power. Show me one single person who you can describe as honest in the party and I will bow my head.

“He (Jonathan) has approved the importation of tooth-picks and tokunbo vehicles at the expense of our dying motor industry.

“Let him explain to the people what happened to the $20 billion saved in the excess crude account which has been reduced to $450 million just within his seven months in office with nothing to show for it

“How do you explain David Mark receiving N88 million every month while the lawmakers are denying the workers N18, 000? Each member of the National Assembly gets N500 million as constituency allowance. Where is it?” Agoro asked.

He also maintained that President Jonathan came into power by fraudulent means and asked him to tell the world why he absolved the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) of the 1 October 2010 bomb blast if he did not have affiliation with the group.

Reverend Agoro also accused the PDP of not practising true democracy which he described as the practice of the rule of law.
