No amount of change of slogan can alter the poor performance of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last three years.
This is the declaration of the leading opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, on Sunday, the PDP said Nigerians could not be deceived by the alleged attempt by APC to change its slogan from “Change” to “Progress.”
The PDP said the plan to change the APC slogan to “Progress” was a direct insult on the intelligence of Nigerians.
It described the said action of the APC as the worst form of deceit from a failed political party that had brought nothing but hunger, afflictions and daily bloodletting to the nation.
ThePDP queried: “How can the APC think that by changing its slogan, Nigerians will suddenly forget that in the last three years of its administration, the nation has not witnessed the CHANGE it promised and that all the campaign promises upon which they rode to power have all turned out to be lies?”

It said under the APC misrule the nation had witnessed unprecedented deterioration while its leaders were busy thinking of how to beguile Nigerians with a change of slogan instead of preparing their handover notes.
PDP said it was “a notorious fact that the APC has nothing to progress with unless they mean the perpetuation of their misrule, violation of human rights, de-marketing of our nation, wrecking of our economy, increased unemployment, instigating of disunity among the people as well as the acute hunger and poverty for which they have become synonymous.”
It added: “It is imperative to inform these APC leaders that the solution to the problems they have unleashed on our nation today does not lie in sloganeering.
“Rather, our nation requires a new leadership of qualitative Nigerians endowed with indepth knowledge in the areas of economy, security and good governance.”
