President Muhamadu Buhari |
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) , has countered President Muhamadu Buhari’s claim of good governance in the last three years.
President Buhari had said that members of the opposition cannot fault
the efforts his administration had made in its three major areas of
focus, namely security, economy and the fight against corruption.
Buhari stated this in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu on Thursday in his hometown, Daura,
Katsina State, while hosting some state governors elected on the
platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, some federal and state
lawmakers and state commissioners to a lunch.
Buhari said he would continue to do what he was expected to do in the leadership position God had given him.
Disagreeing with Buhari’s claim, the Chairman of the African
Democratic Congress, Chief Okey Nwosu, said it was unfortunate that
Buhari had converted the exalted office of the President to a “lie
manufacturing plant.”
Nwosu, whose party has been endorsed by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, said statistics from every credible organisation and even
agencies of government showed that poverty and unemployment had
worsened.
He further stated that the crisis in the Middle Belt had reached
unprecedented levels under the Buhari administration and it was
therefore deceptive of Buhari to claim that he had effectively tackled
insecurity.
The ADC chairman said “Transparency International had exposed
Buhari’s anti-graft war for the sham that it was and subsequently urged
the President to focus on improving the lives of Nigerians rather than
propaganda.
“Buhari has turned the Presidency into a lie manufacturing plant. He
has no right to evaluate himself. It is Nigerians that are supposed to
assess his performance. However, the facts speak for themselves. Under
Buhari, poverty and unemployment have worsened.
“He claims to have effectively tackled insecurity but every day new
IDP camps are springing up. I recently returned from Borno State where I
saw IDP camps all over the place.”
