PDP Promises To Revamp Economy, Restore Peace, Rule of Law
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Nigeria deserved a revamped economy, total restoration of democratic tenets and rule of law that only the party can offer come 2019.
The opposition party maintained that in its re-banded state and new ways of doing things, Nigerians will have reasons to smile again immediately it is returned to power by Nigerians next year.
National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kola Ologbondiyan said the PDP is already working on a robust blueprint for national cohesion and economic recovery, even as he told Nigerians not to despair in the democratic process due to the misrule of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said the time has come for Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion, to join forces with the reformed PDP to rescue the nation, noting that the only way to end economic recession, human rights abuses and daily bloodletting bedeviling Nigeria in the last three years is for all Nigerians to rally with the PDP and reject President Buhari and the APC at the 2019 polls.
Addressing a delegation of PDP officials from Kogi state at the weekend, Ologbondiyan said, “It is now clear to all that President Buhari and his dysfunctional APC are the main problems of Nigeria today. Not only that they have ruined our once robust economy with their ‘restrictive economic policies, their nepotic tendencies are directly responsible for the escalation of hostilities and bloodletting’ in various parts of our country today.
“The Buhari administration has shown that it is completely incompetent and lacks the capacity to run an economy as big as ours; it has shown that it lacks the all-inclusive comportment to ensure a united and cohesive nation and has resorted to repressive tendencies, including direct violation of rights of citizens, to cover its failures”, the PDP spokesperson said.
According to him “Today, it is obvious to all that there is no hope for the nation under the APC and Buhari Presidency.
“On our part, the PDP believes in a united Nigeria and the potentials of Nigerians as a people. That is why the PDP always run on democratic principles and all-inclusive policies that effectively galvanize the productive energies of our people for national cohesion and economic prosperity, as witnessed in the 16 years of PDP in governance.
“As a party committed to the good of all, we have continued to spread out to Nigerians from across all walks of life in developing a recovery blueprint to re-open our national space for peace, reconciliation, cohesion and economic recovery, immediately we are returned into office.
“So the solution is for Nigerians to brace up and rally on the platform of the repositioned PDP to rescue and rebuild our nation, come 2019.”
In his remarks at the occasion, the team leader, Hon Idris Lokoja lauded the PDP’s new leadership for its efforts in rebuilding and re-branding the party for effective service delivery, adding that Nigerians are collectively looking up to the PDP as the only credible platform to rescue our nation and ensure a peaceful and prosperous nation
