That\u2019s on record. This government celebrates defection like it\u2019s celebrating successful policy, that\u2019s an indictment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The party chieftain also slammed the APC\u2019s economic policies, questioning the rationale behind the $24.5 billion loan request to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the government has failed to deliver tangible results, leaving over 100 million Nigerians to survive on less than $2 a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president asked for a $24.5 billion loan to cushion the effect of subsidy removal, two years after. Where is the money? We were told subsidy removal would free up funds, where are the results,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on democracy, Ologunagba condemned the alleged preference for a one-party state by the APC, describing it as a threat to Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n<p>He reaffirmed the PDP\u2019s commitment to multi-party democracy and stressed the need for robust opposition and accountability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
