The All Progressives Congress (APC) says the New Year
message of President Bola Tinubu to Nigerians was “sensitive and articulate”.
In a statement on Tuesday, Felix Morka, spokesperson of the
APC, responded to the PDP’s claim that the president’s message was “uninspiring
and full of empty promises”.
Tinubu had in his message to Nigerians promised to implement
a new living wage for workers and fast-track power projects.
However, the APC carpeted the opposition party as lacking
the capacity to understand the president’s New Year message.
“Both in tone and substance, President Tinubu’s New Year
address was measured, sensitive, articulate, highly presidential and an
excellent fit for the purpose and occasion it was delivered,” the statement
reads.
“A New Year speech of any President is a goodwill message to
the nation in celebration of the new year.
“It is a moment for tone-setting of expectations for the
year ahead. It is not a policy speech delivered to a think tank. Even that
basic understanding of the nature of a New Year speech stands elusive to highly
deluded PDP.
“The President was forthright in his acknowledgement of the
transient tough impact that some of the administration’s policies have had on
citizens, just as he was categorical in the expression of commitment to do
everything under the power of his office to tackle prevailing challenges and
secure a safer and stronger country for the benefit of all.
“The President addressed Nigerians with candour, sensitivity
and attentiveness of a kind unknown to the PDP in its 16 years of reckless, and
never again, rule.
“The President’s New Year message struck the right chord
with Nigerians, assuring of the administration’s commitment to fixing power and
energy challenges, locally refining petroleum products, crashing prices of
products, creating jobs, enabling a more favourable business environment,
tackling insecurity, expanding food security and affordability, implementing
new minimum wage for workers, and more.”
The ruling party noted that the signing of the 2024 budget on
New Year’s Day was “evidence of the president walking the talk”.
