Buhari’s Interview Confirms Failure, Incompetence In Governance – PDP
BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday said that it is most unfortunate that instead of accepting responsibility for the failures of his administration, President Muhammadu Buhari is still busy looking for scapegoats where there are none.
The opposition party noted that President Buhari’s resort to blame game and false performance claims, in his Monday’s media interview, has further confirmed that the last four years of his administration smacks of failure and incompetence.
The PDP also lampooned the president for not using his orchestrated interview to give account for the trillions stolen under his watch in the last four years.
These were contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kola Ologbondiyan, who also noted that it was an internationally accepted position that all critical sectors in the country performed abysmally in the last four years because of the incompetence of President Buhari’s administration.
Ologbondiyan said; “It is for this reason that the PDP presented a presidential candidate and deputy with strong knowledge of the economy and social order in order to rescue our nation from the dire straits into which she had been thrown due to poor leadership in the last four years.
The PDP specifically noted that President Buhari’s diatribe against the National Assembly and its elected leadership further confirms his disdain for constitutional democracy, rule of law and the Principle of Separation of powers as entrenched in our constitution.
It further states; “Mr President’s personal attacks on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, were totally uncalled for and speak volumes on his disposition about democracy.
“Moreover, President Buhari should end his showboating on the war against corruption. He must admit that he failed because his administration, which swims in ocean of corruption, cannot fight corruption.
“This is an administration which thrives in concealment; under which over N14 trillion belonging to Nigerians have been frittered by officials, who have not been investigated or prosecuted.”
The PDP also noted that President Buhari also failed as a Commander-in-Chief and lamented the escalation of insurgency, bloodletting, kidnapping and other forms of violent acts in various parts of our nation under his administration.
Ologbodiyan said it is disappointing that Mr. President has no soothing words for millions of compatriots who have been subjected to the worst form of economic and social misery under his incompetent and corrupt administration
The party however urged Nigerians not to despair but continue in their determination and prayers to retrieve its Presidential mandate at the tribunal so that the nation can have a purposeful government that will be truly alive to its responsibility to the people.
