Human rights activist Mahdi Shehu has slammed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), predicting it may soon face a similar downfall as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement he made on Tuesday morning via his official X handle, Shehu argued that power built on arrogance and injustice is unsustainable, implying the APC’s current stance may lead to its eventual collapse.
He drew a sharp comparison between the PDP’s fall from power after 16 years and what he described as the APC’s growing disregard for Nigerians.
According to him, “Whatever goes up must surely come down. Just as PDP rose and fell after its years of pride and betrayal, APC is now walking the same path.”
He recalled how the former PDP National Chairman, Vincent Ogbulafor, once boasted in 2008 that the PDP would rule Nigeria for 60 years, but the party later collapsed under its own weight.
“God showed them who truly owns power. The same will happen to APC if they don’t change,” he added.
Mahdi Shehu accused the APC of destroying institutions, intimidating citizens, and taking the country for granted.
He warned that such arrogance always ends in disgrace.
Quoting the Bible, he said, “Psalm 37:10 says, ‘A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.’”
