Read the PDP press statement below...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described
as evasive, diversionary and preemptive, the
present government’s pile up of excuses for
possible failure in delivering on its campaign
promises to Nigerians.
The PDP said it is unfortunate that President
Mohammadu Buhari and the APC, who were privy to
the nation’s dwindling economy occasioned by
global economic downturn and fall in international oil
price, even before the start of the campaigns, chose
to deceive Nigerians with bogus promises, only to
now resort to excuses after using the promises to
secure power at the center.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh
in a statement on Tuesday said the party notes with
dismay, President Buhari’s statement on Monday
that Nigerians should not expect much from his first
100 days in office on claims that he met “virtually
an empty treasury and huge debts”, noting that
such only underlines the fact that the present
administration is really not equipped to face the
challenges of governance.
“While we restate our resolve to engage only in
credible and issue based opposition, we want the
President and the APC to note that their plea for
patience from Nigerians does not arise, because
ab-initio, there has not been any indication that they
are actually serious and determined to deliver on
their campaign promises upon which they rode to
power.
“Of course Nigerians are willing to support and
cooperate with the President, but we are worried
that the pictures emerging from his presidency and
his party do not in any way inspire hope in the
citizenry, especially as they have continued to show
that theirs is ostensibly a matter of obtaining power
by false pretenses.
“President Buhari and the APC must know that
Nigerians did not give them the mandate to engage
in frivolous excuses and pleas but to hit the ground
running with solutions and quick fixes they
promised during the campaigns.
We ask, is President Buhari’s statement an
admission of poor knowledge of national and
international economic affairs or does it underscore
the lack of capacity and skills by the administration
to effectively harness and galvanize resources and
potential inherent in Nigeria which has already been
nurtured as Africa’s largest economy and one of the
fasted growing in the world.
“Even if Nigerians decide to wait endlessly, we
wonder how much the President can achieve
amidst the flip-flops from his presidency and
cacophony of interests from his party leaders
struggling to enlarge their selfish political and
economic frontiers.
“How can one reconcile President Buhari’s
statement with the recent ridiculous and misleading
claim by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed that this administration has
achieved in three weeks what the immediate past
administration did not achieve in five years?
“Since after their electoral victory, the APC and the
President have continued to expose their lack of
commitment towards their campaign promises.
“We recall that on May 5, 2015, twenty-four days
before his inauguration, President Buhari at a
meeting with APC leaders in Abuja opened the
excuse galore when he expressed his nervousness
to deliver in office, adducing that ‘Rome was not
built in a day’.
“We also recall that in their attempt to find an
escape route in one of their bogus campaign
promises, the APC denied that the President ever
promised Nigerians that they will end insurgency
two months after inauguration but had to swallow
their words after the PDP confronted them with the
April 22, 2015 CNN interview where Buhari made
that promise.
“Indeed, we empathize with the President knowing
that the confusion and clear lack of direction in his
party have not helped matters, but we urge him to
rise up to the challenge, take urgent steps and
disentangle himself from the selfish and unpatriotic
tendencies of APC leaders, especially given the fact
that Nigerians gave him a mandate for which they
will continue to hold him accountable.
“Finally, the PDP restates that it is eager to see the
APC and the President unveil their economic
roadmap and blueprint for governance so as to
enable us through robust opposition, provide
credible alternatives and options for their policies
and programmes in the overall interest of our dear
nation”.

Chief Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary
