Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has asked the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari to stop complaining about the nation’s treasury and perform the much touted magic promised Nigerians.
The party also described as evasive, diversionary and preemptive, the present government’s pile up of excuses for possible failure in delivering on its campaign promises to the citizenry.
The PDP said it was unfortunate that President Buhari and APC that were privy to the nation’s dwindling economy occasioned by global economic downturn and fall in international oil price, even before the start of campaigns, chose to deceive Nigerians with bogus promises, only to now resort to excuses after using the promises to secure power at the centre.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement yesterday said the party notes with dismay President Buhari’s statement on Monday that Nigerians should not expect much from his first 100 days in office over claims that he met “virtually an empty treasury and huge debts.” It noted that such statement merely underlines the present administration is not really equipped to face the challenges of governance.
The PDP asked if Buhari’s statement was an admission of poor knowledge of national and international economic affairs or whether it underscored the lack of capacity and skills by the administration to effectively harness and galvanise resources and potential inherent in Nigeria, which has already been nurtured as Africa’s largest economy and one of the fastest growing in the world.
