The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari and what it termed “dysfunctional
All Progressives Congress, APC,” for attempting to claim credit for the Abuja
Light Rail Project.
President Buhari, while
commissioning the Abuja light rail project had said it was a “dream-come-true”.
Reacting to the commissioning of
the project, the opposition party said despite trying to claim its projects,
“Nigerians are aware that the project was conceptualized, initiated and
policy-propelled” by it.
A statement by PDP’s
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan insisted that Buhari’s government in the past
three years has not initiated and completed any project.
The statement reads, “President
Buhari’s showboating and rush to commission the rail project, without giving
credit to the PDP, even when his administration contributed nothing to the
project, underscores his desperation to claim achievements made by others in a
frantic bid to cover incompetence and failure of his administration.
“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.
“Is it 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 states.”
PDP noted that ”we 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 any way.”
“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.
”We, however, urge 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,” the statement added.
