The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has again accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government of being responsible for the current economic hardship bedevilling the nation, News About Nigeria reports.
The PDP also slammed the leadership of the APC for attacking PDP state governors for speaking out against President Tinubu’s failure, noting that, it is evident that the current administration has no plan for Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement released by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, on Monday.
While calling on President Tinubu and the ruling APC government to take responsibility and to also accept the counsel from the PDP governors, Ologunagba noted that every Nigerian is lamenting the terrible situation that the president’s ill-informed and ill-implemented policies have brought upon the nation.
He also added that, by seeking to allocate President Tinubu’s statutory duties to state governors, the APC has admitted that it gave Nigerians an incompetent president who cannot guarantee the security of the people he claims he is leading.
The statement partly reads, “Our Party restates its position that the APC and the Tinubu administration are responsible for the current biting economic hardship and surging wave of insecurity across the country, as they are completely overwhelmed and lack the capacity and competence to lead a nation like Nigeria.
“President Tinubu is directly in charge of security and national economic policies, including administration of petroleum resources as Minister of Petroleum Affairs; other national revenues; and cannot transfer his incompetence and failure to other tiers of government, which have no control over national security, fiscal, and monetary policies, whose mismanagement by President Tinubu’s government has crippled our economy.”
Ologunagba also called on Nigerians to continue to hold the APC and President Tinubu solely responsible for the suffering that they face, adding that as a party, they would continue to hold them responsible.
He also noted that the APC must not be allowed to “grab, snatch, and run” with our national patrimony at the expense of millions of our citizens.”
