President Muhammadu Buhari |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday declared that “President Muhammadu Buhari knows that he has failed.”
PDP said the Buhari-led administration had “irredeemably failed in every sector of our national life.”
The opposition party noted that available data, both “locally and
internationally, confirm that the Buhari administration has failed
woefully in all its promises and claims, particularly on fight against corruption, economy,
security, democracy as well as national unity and cohesion.”
A statement by PDP’s spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said it had
observed that the Buhari administration’s claimed fight against
corruption had been exposed to be “a big lie, a charade designed to
hound perceived political opponents while providing cover for humongous
corruption and pillaging of resources by agents of the Buhari
Presidency.”
The statement said, “Instead of fighting corruption, this
administration is practically a felonious empire of corrupt individuals,
certificate forgers, contract inflators, looters of treasuries and
well-known liars, making it, ‘head to toe’, the biggest assemblage of plunderers in the history of our nation.
“We ask, if, Mr. President is indeed a man of integrity, as his
handlers want the world to believe, why is he comfortable employing,
embracing, surrounding himself with and offering protection to corrupt
persons, certificate forgers and liars as ministers, advisers and political associates?
“Are there things Mr. President benefits or has in common with such
individuals that attract them to him or for which they enjoy his cover
to steal public funds in parastatals, agencies and ministries,
particularly those under the direct supervision of the President?
“Largely, due to the incompetence and corruption of the Buhari
Presidency, our once robust economy has been wrecked, resulting in
unbearable hardship, unemployment, hunger and starvation, strange sicknesses and untold depression with compatriots resorting to suicide missions and slavery as options.
“Under President Buhari, our nation has become dangerously divided.
Violent clashes and bloodletting has become the order of the day. Rights
of citizens are daily violated; democratic institutions, including the courts and the National Assembly have come under attack; elections are
rigged with impunity; the unity of our beloved country is now under stress.
“Moreover, the Buhari administration cannot boast of any major
development project it has initiated, executed and completed in the last
three years, in any part of the country.
“If anything, Mr. President has been going around the country
shopping for projects executed by other persons, including PDP
governors, to commission.”
PDP said it was ready to commence a series to expose the “lies and
failures of this administration as well as the huge liability, woes and
dangers it has brought on our nation.”
The opposition party also challenged both the “Presidency and the APC
to an open debate on governance, where we will further expose the
failures of the APC and Buhari Presidency to Nigerians. The time has
finally come!”
