The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to the attack launched at it by the Presidency on Thursday, where it suggested that the main opposition party was the greatest obstacle to Nigeria\u2019s development, with the PDP saying now that President Muhammadu Buhari was ill-equipped for governance.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary, the PDP noted that the vituperation by the presidency \u201cin desperate defence of the fizzling All Progressives Congress (APC)\u201d was a further confirmation that the APC has become comatose.<\/p>\n
It said the presidency response to an earlier statement by the PDP further showed that President Buhari has abandoned governance \u201cto engage in threnody for his dysfunctional APC.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PDP added: \u201cOur party also notes that a reading of the reaction from the Presidency further strengthens the fact that the Buhari\u2019s administration has become uncoordinated and ill-equipped for governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe statement also portrays a Presidency lacking in confidence that its party, the APC, can still perform its roles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Buhari Presidency ought to have known that it is too late in the day for concealments or gagging of Nigerians as its failures, incompetence and lack of confidence in itself and the APC are manifest at all turns.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, the Presidency should know that the PDP, as a party that resonates with Nigerians and on which our democracy and national cohesion is anchored, has a solemn duty to hold President Buhari and his APC accountable for their misrule which has brought untold poverty, hunger, violence, bloodletting and division in the land.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PDP has the responsibility to hold President Buhari and the APC accountable for the promises they made to Nigerians in 2015, which remain unfulfilled as they were only used by the APC as carrots to grab power and sit in oppression over our people.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that the Presidency has abandoned governance to speak for the dying APC, we charge it to place President Buhari on the seat to, in addition to the failures of his administration, also take responsibility for the woes of the APC.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn doing this, the PDP charges Mr. President to explain how he and his party wrecked our economy from one of the fastest growing in the world to a shameful world poverty capital in a space of four years and brought so much hopelessness that compatriots now resort to suicide, infanticide, human trafficking and slavery mission abroad for survival. The answer is incompetence and dishonesty!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Buhari Presidency and APC should explain why they have been pursuing polices that threaten the unity, stability and national cohesion of our dear nation; policies and body language that promote division, violence, abuse of human rights, violation of rule of law, attack on tenets and institutions of democracy. The answer is intolerance, power drunkenness and narrow-mindedness!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Buhari Presidency and the APC should explain why they relish in inflicting hardship, stimulating high costs and unemployment in the land through exclusionism, harsh taxes and increased tariffs, while failing to recover the over N15 trillion stolen by APC leaders, including the N9 trillion exposed by the leaked NNPC memo, funds which are meant for the welfare of Nigerians. The answer is insensitivity, selfishness and ingrained corruption in the APC and the Buhari administration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
