Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says President Bola Tinubu\u2019s comments during his media chat on Monday revealed that he does not care about the economic hardship plaguing Nigerians.<\/p>\n

The Spokesman of the party, Debo Ologunagba, stated this in a statement on Tuesday while reacting to President\u2019s first media chat<\/p>\n

Ologunagba said the president is insensitive to the widespread suffering and hardship afflicting citizens for saying that he does not regret removing the petrol subsidy.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the president in his first media chat said he has no regret removing petrol subsidy.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Ologunagba said: \u201cThe declaration by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that he has no regrets for the sudden removal of fuel subsidy without any cushioning measures to mitigate the resultant crippling effect on the productive sector, high cost of living, and associated hardship, which is now driving citizens to extreme poverty and early death, also confirms APC\u2019s disconnection from the primary purpose of government, which is the welfare and security of the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is instructive that President Tinubu in the chat admitted that Nigerians are bearing the brunt of the failure and inability of the APC administration under his watch to effectively police and secure our nation\u2019s borders so as to prevent the smuggling of petroleum products to neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PDP is disturbed that while the APC has failed to account for the proceeds saved from the removal of the subsidy, Nigerians are subjected to crushing economic hardship because the APC administration has failed in its fundamental duty of ensuring the territorial integrity of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the PDP Spokesman, instead of admitting failure and seeking solutions, Tinubu claimed that the nation\u2019s economy has improved under his watch.<\/p>\n

Ologunagba further stated that the economy has worsened with a comatose productive sector, a deteriorating value of the naira and soaring inflation of 34.6 percent.<\/p>\n

He said the stampedes recorded during palliative distribution showed that the nation is indeed in perilous times under the APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PDP holds that there is no hope in sight under the APC given its failure to embark on meaningful investments in critical sectors, including agriculture and food production, electricity, petroleum and gas, and small and medium-scale enterprises, which are the real drivers of the national economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ologunagba said Tinubu\u2019s statement that Nigerians can now safely travel by road despite kidnappings on highways is false.<\/p>\n

The PDP spokesperson challenged the president to travel from Abuja to Lagos by road, visit markets, or walk on the streets to properly gauge and appreciate the real situation in the country rather than relying on fabricated statistics being bandied by officials of his government.<\/p>\n
