The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday lamented that the
country had been witnessing what it called escalated despondency, depression
and misery since the conclusion of the last presidential election.
The party urged Nigerians to support one another at this
trying time, in order to check the rising social degeneration, particularly
suicide.
Its position was contained in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.
The PDP described poverty, hunger, and rising insecurity
“under the incompetent, corrupt, divisive and manipulative All Progressives
Congress administration,” as a national tragedy.
The statement read, “Banditry, insurgency, marauding,
bloodletting, and kidnapping with unmentionable ransoms, have almost become
daily occurrences. Our citizenry is now battling with the worst kind of siege
mentality.
“Misery has set in.
This is evident in the shrinking of our nation’s Gross Domestic Product to 2.1%
in the first quarter of 2019.”
The opposition party said it was saddening that at the time
Nigerians ought to be celebrating, they were rather forlorn, committing suicide
and exiting the country in droves.
The PDP alleged that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC
administration had refused to allow any scrutiny of its books, claiming that
the records were catalogues of corruption, treasury looting, violations,
impunity and acts that had brought the nation to its knees.
