The Peoples Democratic Party on Thursday challenged President Mohammadu Buhari to resign as the country’s President for admitting that the nation is broke, saying that his stand was a clear manifestation of inability to steer the ship of the country.
Members of the opposition PDP also expressed deep concern over the poor governance posture by the ruling All Progressives Congress in handling key issues affecting the nation since assumption of office four months ago.
The opposition party described as “annoying” the Mr. President’s lamentation that the country was broke during his statement last week.
Public Secretary of the PDP in Edo state, Mr. Chris Nehikhare who stated this on Thursday during a press conference to review the seven years of Oshiomhole government in Edo state held in Benin the state capital said, it was evident that the Presidency and the APC led administration cannot fix the country and therefore “they should resign”.
He challenged the President to show the citizens the account balances of all transactions by previous PDP led government under former President Goodluck Jonathan and the APC led government under him since assumption of office.
Mr. Nehikhare stated that “President Buhari should show Nigerians the account balances and how much money he met in the coffers of the federal government since he came in.
He has not shown anybody the accounts balance as at today. If he says the government is broke and he cannot manage it he should resign and handover power to someone who has responsibility and can manage the economy better.”
According to him, “the lamentation of Mr. President and his APC government is becoming annoying and I don’t think we should tolerate any more lamentation. They fought tooth and nail to take over government and now they have government, let them deal with it.”
The leadership of the PDP in the state also blasted Governor Adams Oshiomhole for what it called “a shame, disgrace and another incompetence” the eleventh hour trial of former governor of the state, Chief Lucky Igbinedion, seven years after he assumed office as governor of Edo state, describing it as purely “a political witch-hunt”.
Nehikhare further said “The party will come out with a statement as time goes on because the governor since he left office in 2007 I think it is a shame and a disgrace that another form of incompetence that it is taking Oshiomhole another seven years to wake up from his slumber to do what I will call political witch-hunt”.
The laziness of the state government is glaring and I will leave the reaction to the target of the perceived probe and the party will make a response at the appropriate time but right now I think it is the ranting of desperate man who is trying to clutch any straw.”
The party’s Publicity Secretary who spoke extensively on the poor state of roads across the three senatorial districts urged the APC led government in the state to wake up to its responsibility and stop making excuses over its inability to meet up with the challenges of governancehttp://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/11/pdp-to-buhari-apc-resign-if-nigeria-is-broke/
