PDP berates FG’s lack of urgency tackling governance issues
*Berates Buhari over appointment of personal aides
Tunde Opalana, Abuja
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the federal government does not attach seriousness or urgency to the exigencies of governance
It described the Buhari Presidency as an incompetent, flippant and confused government that abandons Nigerians to their fate and of being more interested in appointing aides to serve his immediate personal comfort and necessities.
The party described as highly unfortunate that at a time millions of Nigerians are hurting and suffering untold hardship due to lack of attention to critical sectors of the economy and national life, President Buhari is only concerned about his personal needs.
In a statement on Sunday by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said that “such unpatriotic and self-centered acts, which is a direct slap on the sensitivity of the citizens are only associated with leaders who do not have the mandate of the people, but find themselves in office as beneficiaries of manipulated elections.
“That is why at the time Nigerians expect urgent interventions on critical issues of national insecurity and uncertainties, kidnapping and bloodletting, high costs of food and essential services, lack of affordable healthcare, decayed infrastructure and excruciating poverty in the land, President Buhari and his handlers are more interested in appointing house keepers and managers of social events that has only to do with him.
“The PDP urges Nigerians to note that this development and the general lethargy in governance is a weighty effect of the validity challenge that confronts governance in our nation today, following the rigging of the 2019 presidential election.
“Moreover, such unseriousness further amplifies the insensitivity and
incompetence of the Buhari Presidency as well as signposts the deplorable situation that might further befall the nation under the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
The PDP therefore, asks Nigerians not to despair but remain resolute for the retrieval of the party’s presidential mandate at the court, so that the nation will have the benefit of a serious and purposeful result-oriented administration.
