The Peoples Democratic Party, on Sunday, declared that the
All Progressives Congress, APC, lacks the parameter to compare the
administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and that of President
Muhammadu Buhari.
PDP made the remark in response to APC’s claim that ex-Vice
President Atiku Abubakar admitted that Obasanjo administration was
short-sighted and failed to diversify Nigeria’s economy.
APC’s spokesperson, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, had stated this
in a statement where he commended Atiku for suggesting how Buhari should
improve Nigeria’s economy.
However, PDP berated the ruling party for its comment,
stressing that APC has “reversed all our national gains in a space of five
years.”
The former ruling party stated this in a statement titled:
“You Lack Parameters to Compare Obasanjo/Atiku Tenure with Buhari’s”
The statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Ogbondiyan
reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a knee-jerk reaction by the
dysfunctional APC to the well-received suggestions by former Vice President and
PDP’s candidate in the 2019 Presidential election, Atiku, on how to revamp our
ailing economy.
“While the PDP had chosen not to allow the fizzling APC to
distract us from our focus, particularly in finding solutions for the COVID-19
pandemic, we cannot keep quiet and allow those who had reversed all our
national gains in a space of five years, to continue to engage in distortions,
outright lies and appropriation of projects executed by the PDP to continually
spit on the memories of Nigerians.
“It is sad that a patriotic and non-partisan rescue effort
by Atiku was met with insults, animus and aspersions by an administration under
which Nigeria is collapsing economically, just because it lacks the required
competence and brilliance for modern governance.
“This is a government under which our nation has become the
poverty capital of the world; our foreign debts have quintupled from $7 billion
in 2015 to $30 billion today; our once highly rated banking sector is now
shedding its workforce.”
