PDP Insists President Buhari Is Clueless, Inefficient, Incapable |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Opposition Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has once again lashed the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration for lacking in foresight. And is clueless on what should be done to address the worsening State of the nation.

The PDP is also worried about the mounting loan the country is piling, and has called on President Buhari to address the nation on how he intends to pay back.

It also bemoaned the dispiriting and troubling situation of things in Nigeria, saying the Buhari is clueless on what to do to pull the country from collapse.

The PDP said that it expected a change of attitude from the Government when President Buhari returned from medical trip to UK. But, sadly, it noted, the country is retrogressing as nothing has changed.

Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, in a statement, said the President should be reminded that he is leaving office in 2023.

The statement said Buhari is “disorganised, inefficient, and lethargic”, adding that there was nothing to look forward to in a government that has brought misery and agony to its people.

It also added that the country cannot continue with the “failed economy, hunger and starvation, banditry, killings, terrorism, kidnapping, abuse of human rights, treasury looting, mindless borrowing” under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.

It said: “The Peoples Democratic Party welcomes President Muhammadu Buhari from his medical tourism in the United Kingdom, but rejects his declaration that Nigerians should expect the ‘ continuity’ of his misrule.

“The PDP also asserts that the statement by the All Progressives Congress that President Buhari has been “re-energized” after his medical treatment, is a confirmation that Mr. President had been incapable and lethargic, leading to the inefficiency, disorganization and general misrule that has bedevilled his administration.

“While Nigerians are at a loss on the import of President Buhari’s declaration upon his return that what they should expect is “continuity”, our party wishes to remind Mr. President that he was elected for a last term of four years which will end on May 29, 2023.

“The PDP holds that whatever purpose his frame of mind on “continuity” was made to serve, it must not detach from the finality of his leaving office on May 29, 2023.

“This is especially as the comment by the APC had already confirmed that our nation has indeed been on auto-pilot leading to a shambolic state of affairs in the nation, escalation of violence and insecurity, wrecking of our national economy, policy inconsistency, entrenchment of corruption and impunity, with no hope in sight.

“While the PDP recognizes the humanity of all, our party advises that those at the helm of affairs must be honest enough not to take up assignments that are beyond their capacity.

“Now that Mr. President is “re-energized,” his handlers have no further excuses for his failure to lead from the front as he promised, in the fight against terrorists and insurgents, whose activities escalated under his watch.

“Our party, therefore, expects the “re-energized” President Buhari as the Commander-In-Chief to immediately proceed to Zamfara, Borno, Kaduna, Adamawa and other states where terrorists have practically taken over communities on account of the failures of his administration.”
