President Muhammadu Buhari has been called upon by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop deceiving Nigerians with words of assurances when he has no clue on how to put smiles on the faces of the governed having spent almost three years in office.
The party in a statement signed by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Prince Diran Odeyemi, apparently reacting to President Buhari’s Christmas message to Nigerians that “Better days lie ahead of the nation despite its current challenges”, the party said the perennial fuel scarcity created so as to increase pump price, highest rate of unemployment, economic inflation and series of corruption perpetrated under the present administration are enough evidences that President Buhari has failed woefully.
“In a civilised environment, a score card of failure and evidences of failed promises after three years of governance are enough indices to tender a letter of resignation and not words of assurances of a better tomorrow” PDP declared.
The party also queried the rationale behind spending N1Billion daily to fight “technically defeated” Boko Haram when the citizens are unemployed, hungry and deprived of decent living.
“We sympathise with Nigerians and urge them to compare and contrast. A government once reigned here that was ready to take ‘bullet’ to ensure its citizens live in comfort and here is another government with all trappings of medieval king that scourged his subjects with scorpions, tormenting them by creating artificial scarcity of the most important product on which our national life and well being are built,” the statement said.
The party, however, urged Nigerians to endure the hardships of APC government but like “Boys Scout” be prepared to vote them out in future elections declaring that “A vote for APC is a waste of PVC”
