President Muhammadu Buhari has
mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its “terminal decline and future
in national politics.”
A statement on Thursday by his
spokesman, Garba Shehu, said Nigerians were surprised reading a statement
issued by them assuming the role of presidential image maker.
Shehu asked the PDP their
business about alleged love lost between President Buhari and the APC.
“What do they know? Who sent
them?”, he queried.
“Today, the PDP represents the
single biggest obstacle to good governance and change that the country needs
and the people are yearning for.
“Both self-respect and sound
political judgement demand that the Party takes an introspective look at itself
after two successive defeats in national elections, asking what went wrong and
how to fix its battered image.
“They need to go back to the
people, in towns and villages, to know what the people want and what the
country needs. Instead of doing that, they are taking roles for themselves that
are not mandated by law, morality or political gamesmanship.
“What business do they have
issuing a statement on the love or the lack of it between the President and his
party? This is not why they lost elections.
“The party needs a reboot that
aligns with current national mood and aspirations, to focus on their grim
future after two successive defeats. It is the issue they need to focus on if
they are to be taken as a serious opposition party again.
“A tough task awaits anyone
leading a party with nothing to offer to contemporary Nigerians but corruption,
misgovernance and division.
“As for the APC, the geographical
expansion of the party is nothing short of a testimony to the rosy future that
lies ahead. The party has come to stay, and the President and the country will
ensure that this is achieved.”
