Abuja Light Rail Our Project, PDP Tells Buhari

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday castigated President Muhammadu Buhari for showboating and rushing to commission the Abuja Light Rail Project without giving credit to it even when his administration contributed nothing to the project.
The Party said that the development underscores President Buhari’s desperation to claim achievements made by others in a frantic bid to cover the incompetence and failure of his administration.

The opposition Party said this is in spite of the fact that Nigerians are aware that the project was conceptualized, initiated and policy-propelled by the PDP thus flayed President Buhari for attempting to claim credit for the Abuja Light Rail Project.
A statement by the PDP spokesman, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan said it is crystal clear that President Buhari cannot comprehend the design, scope and utility projection of the rail project resulting in his hollow speech at the photo-op commissioning ceremony.
The PDP asked if it is not unfortunate that, after three years in office, President Buhari cannot boast of any development project conceptualized and executed by his administration in any part of the country, resulting in his numerous face-saving stunts, including commissioning projects executed by others, amongst them, a bus stop in Lagos and a borehole in Jigawa state.
According to Ologbondiyan; “The PDP usually watch with amusement whenever President Buhari and the APC seek to claim credit for our achievements in various sectors. However, while we understand their predicament of having nothing in their scorecard ahead of the 2019 general elections, we state that poaching the achievements of others cannot help them in anyway.
“It is even more pathetic that not only that the Buhari administration lacks the capacity to articulate and run any precise economic policy or project, it is also so inept that it cannot leverage on those handed over to it by the PDP, resulting in the helpless situation we have found ourselves as a people.”
The PDP therefore urged Nigerians not to despair especially as the 2019 general elections offer them the firm opportunity “to vote out this inept administration” and return a development-oriented and competent government on the platform of the repositioned and rebranded PDP.
