The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s nationwide speech.
PDP described Buhari’s speech as
a “last gasp of a drowning administration, laced with fabrications and false
performances” claims which is the “characteristic of a “failed leader, who has
been rejected by the people.”
In a statement by its
spokesperson, the former opposition party said Buhari should apologise for his
failure and not resort to making academic speech.
The statement reads: “It rather
too late in the day for President Buhari to redeem himself with an academic
speech as Nigerians, having moved ahead with the people’s candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, are no longer ready to listen to his list of false promises and a
long claim of non-existent achievements.
“It is ludicrous that at a time
President Buhari should be remorseful and apologize for his failures that led
to the biting economic hardship, hunger, job losses, killings and escalated
bloodletting in our country, under his watch, he chose to engage in a last
minute attempt to sway
Nigerians with falsehood.
“Nigerians watched a President
Buhari, who, having seen the handwriting on the wall, struggled with false
economic growth figures and sought to blackmail the people with claims of
non-existent food security and false assurances of safety in a nation heavily
plagued by unemployment, loss of jobs, poverty as well as escalated insurgency
and banditry.
“Nigerians watched as President
Buhari claimed a rise in foreign reserves but failed to accept responsibility
for the huge rise in our nation’s debt and the fact that our nation has become
the poverty capital of the
world.
“Furthermore, how would President
Buhari want anybody to take his assurance of safety of members of global
democratic institutions working for peaceful elections in our country, after
his presidency threatened
the international community and
endorsed the threats by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, that such
foreigners will return to their country in body bags.
“We counsel President Buhari to
note that he has come to the end of the road and that Nigerians are no longer
with him. He should therefore end all his rigging plots and allow Nigerians to
rebuild our nation under the leadership of Atiku Abubakar, whom they have
reached a
consensus to vote in as the next
President of our country.
“Afterall, he will not be the
first President to lose in an election.”
