The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to
President Muhammadu Buhari’s 61st independence speech saying, his confession
that Nigerians have faced difficulties that are similar to the situation of the
civil war under his administration has vindicated the party.
The party declared that President Buhari’s government is
incompetent, confused and the worst in the history of the country.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbodiyan on Friday, PDP insisted that the fact that President Buhari
compared the challenges and sufferings being faced by Nigerians under his
administration to the agony of the civil war, underscores the horrible
situation in the country today.
In President Buhari’s words “The past eighteen months have been some of the most difficult periods in the history of Nigeria. Since the civil war, I doubt whether we have seen a period of more heightened challenges than what we have witnessed in this period”.
This grave assertion brings to mind the ugly images of the
Civil war; the killings, lawlessness, violence, human rights violations,
poverty, hunger, starvation and other horrible situations as also being
currently witnessed today under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led
administration, the PDP said.
”From Mr. President’s admission, it is clear that he has
nobody but himself to blame for the sorry situation in Nigeria under his watch
”It is, therefore, a pathetic antithesis for Mr. President
to attempt to exonerate himself by claiming that no government, since 1999, has
done what his administration has done in six years; a claim that portrays
desperation to parry blame for the consequences of the misrule of his
administration.
”Rather, what obtains in the public space is that no
government has since 1999 brought our nation to her knees on every facet of
life like the Buhari administration.
”It is appalling that in his speech, President Buhari had no
concrete assurance on how to revamp our economy and how to end acts of
terrorism in our country. Instead, the speech, as usual, dwelt on empty claims
that have no bearing on the actual situation in the country.
”Such disposition further exposes the insensitivity of the
APC towards the plight of millions of Nigerians and confirms that our nation
will end in ruins if the APC is allowed to stay in power any moment beyond May
29, 2023”, the PDP maintained.
