The Peoples Democratic Party has slammed the President,
Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for saying he won’t leave office as a
failure.
Buhari, according to the National Security Adviser, Major
General Babagana Monguno, made the statement during a meeting with service
chiefs at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday.
Reacting, the PDP described the statement as medicine after
death, adding that the President is already a failure in governance and will
leave a failure.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by PDP spokesman,
Kola Ologbondiyan, titled, ‘You are already a failure, PDP Mocks Buhari… Says
Lame Attempt At Damage Control Can’t Help APC.’
The statement read, “The PDP has told President Muhammadu
Buhari that he is already a failure in governance and will leave a failure,
adding that his attempt at political damage control cannot help his fizzling
APC.
“The PDP describes the statement by President Buhari that he
will not leave office as a failure as “medicine after death” noting that as
long as he is a product of the corrupt, inept, directionless and anti-people
APC, he will leave as a failed leader.
“The party asserts that President Buhari’s veiled admission
of failure, which smacks as a tactic to exonerate the APC, is an exercise in
futility as the APC, which now only exists on paper, will soon fizzle from our
political firmament, having shown itself as a perverted platform that cannot be
entrusted with governance at any level in our country.”
The PDP said the President and his APC have failed in their
three-pronged promises of security, anti-corruption and economic development.
“They have instead wrecked all sectors of our national life
with no hope in sight.
“What explanation can the Buhari Presidency and the APC
offer for failing to decisively tackle terrorists, insurgents and bandits, who
are daily ravaging our communities, killing and maiming our compatriots in
various states across the country, despite the huge resources at their
disposal?
“How do President Buhari and APC leaders sleep at night when
they know that due to their incompetence and compromises, hundreds of
Nigerians, including school children are languishing in kidnappers’ den at the
mercies of their assailants and the elements?”, the PDP asked.
The party said Buhari “has so failed as a Commander-in-Chief
that non-state actors have taken over, with regions now resorting to their own
security outfits while state governors, including his home, Katsina State
governor, Aminu Bello Masari, telling helpless victims of terror attacks to
defend themselves.
“On the economic front, President Buhari has only succeeded
in ruining the once robust economy handed over to him by the PDP administration
in 2015 and turned Nigeria into the poverty capital of the world, where over
82.9 million once-thriving Nigerians can no longer afford their daily meals and
other necessities of life.
“Moreover, the Buhari Presidency cannot point to any
landmark project it conceptualised, started and completed in the last six
years.
“All it can boast of is the mortgaging of the future of our
nation with accumulated N33.107 trillion debt with nothing to show and no clear
repayment plan.
“More atrocious is that Mr. President is seeking to borrow
additional N5.62 trillion when he knows that he has less than two years in
office.
Rather than fighting corruption, the APC-led Buhari
administration has become the citadel of corruption where over N15 trillion
naira have reportedly been stolen by APC leaders from various agencies under
the cover of government.
“Nigerians can recall how the PDP recently held a strategic
meeting where suggestions on how to entrench unity, reduce tension, fight
insurgency, curb corruption and restore our nation to the path of economic
progress, were placed at the behest of Mr. President and how he failed to
listen to the voice of reason.
“What is expected of Mr. President and the APC at this point
is for them to end their media orchestrations, apologise for their failure and
allow Nigerians to chart a fresh course as they rally with the PDP to salvage
our dear nation.”
