The Peoples Democratic Party has charged the newly sworn in ministers to quickly settle down, move fast and focus on the economy.
The party said the present administration has so far played heavily on dramatising routine procedures and processes, which, it said, was even glaring in the prolonged swearing-in ceremony of the ministers.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, said in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday that the much-expected assignment of portfolios to the ministers did not inspire confidence that there was indeed any change being introduced in the system.
Metuh added that with the inauguration, the APC administration should fully resolve the issues on the actual position of the nation’s economy and the direction therein.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari and his Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had initially disagreed on the state of the nation’s economy.
He said, “Whereas President Buhari had announced that the nation is bankrupt to the extent that he cannot pay his ministers, his new Minister of Information had contradicted him directly by stating how the government is buoyant and ready to deploy $2.5 billion infrastructure fund, saved N1.4 trillion with another N2.5 trillion ready as special intervention fund, which goes to say that the country is not actually broke.
“These new ministers should note the challenge before them regarding the image of the country which the APC government has changed from being the ‘Heart of Africa’ and a country of ‘Good people, Great nation’ to that of ‘Corrupt people, Broke nation.’
“Furthermore, we counsel the ministers, especially those who will be the face of the government, to note that the campaigns are over.”
Metuh said Nigerians would no longer condone alleged propaganda, lies and deceit but expect a responsible dissemination based on truth, honesty and openness from the government. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
