PDP to APC: Stop justifying suffering of Nigerians under Buhari
By Tunde Opalana
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the obnoxious attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rationalize the excruciating hardship being suffered by Nigerians under the Buhari administration has further confirmed that the APC has no iota of concern for Nigerians, DAILY TIMES gathered
The PDP also berated the APC for supporting the increase in the price of fuel from N87 to the current N148 per litre as well as the endemic corruption in the Buhari administration, saying that only a corrupt party that relishes in inflicting suffering, pain, and anguish can defend the actions of Buhari administration.
“By kicking against our solidarity with Nigerians in our caution to President Muhammadu Buhari against making empty promises to the people, the APC has pitched itself against Nigerians and further confirmed that it is a propaganda machine that only thrives on lies, deception, fake promises, and incurable corruption.

“It is despicable that the APC, in its propaganda, would prefer to turn a blind eye to the sufferings of Nigerians, most of whom can no longer afford their staple foods, basic accommodation, and other necessities of life. They have been left to wallow in abject poverty due to the incompetence of the Buhari Presidency.
“We found it tragic that the APC would attempt to paint our economy as sustainable when in the actual fact it has been wrecked by President Buhari, with a terrifying N28.6 trillion debt burden, a weakened currency at N480 to a dollar, a frightening 23.1 unemployment rate and a productive sector that has been crippled by poor policies, to the extent that our nation is rated as world poverty capital.
“Furthermore, it is heartbreaking that the APC is ignoring the cries of Nigerians and chose not to speak out on the escalation of insurgency, kidnapping, banditry, and incessant killings of Nigerians under President Buhari’s watch.
“It is appalling that the APC finds nothing wrong with the fact that the situation in our country has become so devastating that compatriots now resort to suicide and slavery mission abroad as options.
“Indeed, it is on record that the APC, as a party, had never raised a strong voice against the resurged insecurity in our country and had also never joined in urging President Buhari to take a decisive action to end the insecurity by leading from the front in line with his promise”, read a statement Thursday by party publicist, Kola Ologbonfiyan.
The party said for kicking against our patriotic stance against the concealment of corruption in the Buhari administration, the APC has also confirmed that it is the headquarters and defender of corruption.
