The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, yesterday, advised the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to stop giving excuses and shifting of blames
over what it termed “the failures and inherent confusion in the APC-led Federal
Government.”
The party blamed Oyegun for
attempting to exonerate his party of complicity on the embarrassing list of
board members of federal parastatatals, which contained names of dead persons,
adding that his excuses had further confirmed PDP’s position that the ruling
party and its government were completely disorganised and ill-equipped for
governance.
National Publicity Secretary of
the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, yesterday, described Oyegun as a
leader who had no answer to the incompetence and governance deficit of his
party, stressing that his reaction further exposed the reasons for the nation’s
wobbling economy.
He said: “Is it not ridiculous,
cowardly and a clear show of disorganisation in the government for the APC
national chairman to try to exonerate his party from the failures and incompetence
of a government, which the party formed?
“Chief Oyegun’s comments amount
to a vote of no confidence in the Presidency, but there is no way he can
exonerate the APC, which he leads, from the failures of its own government.
“The APC chairman must, therefore,
shed his penchant for excuses and address burning issues of misrule of the APC
government. We challenge the APC national chairman to address the issue of
collapsing economy with its attendant eight million job losses and countless
business closures which has caused hardship on families across the country, all
due to bad policies and incompetence of the government.
“Nigerians are still waiting for
the APC national chairman to address the issue of the biting fuel crisis also
caused by the inept government.
“What has Oyegun to say about the
now exposed corruption in the APC-led Federal Government, including sharp
practices in hidden oil subsidy payouts, illegal lifting of crude worth
trillions of naira to service APC interests and the unabated depletion of Nigerians
foreign financial instruments by his party’s government?
“Nigerians are still waiting the
APC national chairman to address the issue of aloofness and insensitivity of
the APC Federal Government to the incessant killings of Nigerians in many parts
of the country by marauders, in addition to exposed diversion of funds meant
for the insurgency- related matters by APC interests.”
“The nation is also waiting for
the APC national chairman to come up with explanations on the failure of his
government to fulfil its campaign promises and why the fight against corruption
has been lopsided with APC members who were publicly indicted of corruption now
openly enjoying government cover.
“Instead of facing these issues
agitating the minds of Nigerians, the APC national chairman is busy passing the
buck while also attempting, just like the Presidency, to claim credit for
projects initiated and executed by the PDP.
“Our advice to the APC therefore,
is that they should spare Nigerians their excuses. They should also spare us
their lies and fake promises as citizens will never allow themselves to be
deceived again as was the case in 2015,” the party stated.
