Presidency Attacks PDP, Says Jonathan’s Economic Achievements Fake by Sulaimon01(m): 9:38am On Aug 30, 2015 |
The presidency has advised the Peoples
Democratic Party “to stop its pathetic
efforts to play down President
Muhammadu Buhari’s achievements in
his first 100 days in office and bury its
head in shame for subjecting Nigeria to
the worst economic plunder through
corruption in its recent history”.
Reacting to a statement issued by the
party’s National Publicity Secretary,
Olisa Metuh, that the economy has been
going down under the APC
administration, the Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu, said Nigerian
economy “was gasping for breath under
the egregiously corrupt PDP
administration, and that the country
was witnessing an acceleration of
poverty which united Nigerians for
change”.
According Mr. Shehu, “the excruciating
hardships experienced by Nigerians
under the PDP misrule was
unprecedented, it is ridiculous to for any
sane government to artificially rebase
the economy and claim to transform
Nigeria into the largest economy in
Africa as the PDP administration did”.
He said the former ruling party was
artificially manipulating statistics to
create the illusion of impressive
economic performance record.
According to the presidential
spokesperson, one falsehood built on
another cannot stand, adding that if the
PDP’s claim of economic successes in
terms of GDP, employment generation,
poverty alleviation and others were
genuine, Nigerians wouldn’t have voted
the party out of power.
Mr. Shehu wondered which contented
electorate would have voted a
performing party out of office.
He explained that if the former ruling
party was doing so well, the opposition
parties would have found it difficult to
defeat a popular ruling party.
Mr. Shehu said that the PDP assumed
performance was nothing more than
window dressing, and a detachment
from reality.
The Presidential spokesman said no
economy can grow with corruption, an
area in which the
PDP administration demonstrated more
competence.
The presidency said criticism for its own
sake is not the hallmark of credible
opposition.
According to Mr. Shehu, “Nigerians no
longer face exploitation at filling stations
because the government is taking
punitive measures against marketers
that punish poor Nigerians.
He noted that queues had disappeared at
filling stations, adding that the naira is
also enjoying favourable exchange
rate”.
The media aide said the Buhari
administration had successfully blocked
leakages and other avenues for
corruption, practices which he said the
previous PDP administration lacked the
will or the desire to stop.
As a result of the measures to block
leakages, he said the Buhari
administration has frustrated the efforts
by corrupt elements to divert public
funds to private pockets.
Mr. Shehu said once the trial of corrupt
officials formally begins, “the PDP might
no longer have the moral legs to stand
on, let alone talk down on Nigerians
with fake claims of economic miracles
under its most incompetent and grossly
purposeless and sleazy administration”. |

Stop blabbing about 16 years as if Nigeria only existed for 16 years...why are ye fools not talking about the people that ruin this country since independence(55 years) buhari inclusive? Sometimes you fools talk about dullard.dinho as though he is from outter space, did he not contribute to the problems Ye fools are facing now or is he an angel from heaven, surely Nigerians are gullible and APC e-rats are the most gullible. Keep deceiving yourself fools, when Buhari is done sherializing and northernizing Nigeria you will cry home in your miseries. And let me remind you fools in case you don't now, out of the 16 years you keep mentioning, some of your leaders in APC were once part of the government for that 16 years but decamped from PDP to APC to look clean to you fools, they know you people are fools and they treat you as such. I shake my head to the level of your gulliblity. Yet you waste your time and energy to come online and defend this crooks. 1 Like |

Hahahahahaha!!! Chai! Once upon a time, Lai mohammed was the spokes man of APC. So Lai mohammed cannot reply PDP as he has always done. They have all left the work to Garba shehu, the president spokesman. APC have now realized they are not being carried along in this regime. Buhari is a CPC man by heart, but had no option than to join ACN for convenience of being Nigeria's president. Now Lai Mohammed and him Master Tinubu's eye don clear |
