Nigerians have described the party’s action on many social media platforms as irrational and unconscious.

They asked how the location would look if all other political parties chose to erect their party symbols statue on the same site.

They also said the action could cause crisis among Nigerians “because it presents the city as a single political party.”

In his comment to PREMIUM TIMES, Atiku Campaign Organization spokesperson Kassim Afegbua said the action was a deliberate decision by the ruling party to offend Nigerians ‘ sensitivities.

The statement reads: “This is the most unconscionable piece of idiocy by the APC-led Federal Government to betray the fundamental objective of citing the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja devoid of any shade of partisan colouration or affiliation.

“This must be a symbol of voodooism that is deliberately erected to offend the sensibilities of others and betray the very reason why the FCT logo is a symbol of unity. A party symbol, other than being a sign of voodooism, cannot be erected at such a location to deface the point of entry to a city that symbolises our unity.

“It is a huge joke taken too far, and the APC leadership should quickly direct the immediate removal of that poisoned chalice for the sake of our collective unity.

“That poisoned broom should be removed forthwith or we will direct FCT public gardens officials to remove it immediately.”
