| President Buhari,fired at by PDP in many directions. |
When the PDP party was in power,they were fired at in all directions by Nigerians and the APC in particular,well,now the APC is in power,they are getting a taste of the same medicine,though not by most Nigerians,who understand that at less than 2 weeks in power its absolutely ridiculous to question the new government of President Buhari and the
APC,but by the PDP party.
Following president Buhari's visit to Niger and Mali recently,the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the All Progressive Congress (APC) of insincerity ..In a new statement the PDP said the APC are doing the same thing they chastised immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan for doing, when he sought regional cooperation in fighting Boko Haram.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Sunday said
“The APC must understand that the hallmark of democracy is freedom of expression and opinion, particularly on governance issues; inalienable rights of all citizens guaranteed by the constitution and which must not be denied them under any guise whatsoever.“Though we had decided to give President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party time to settle down, indicators show that the APC is not getting its bearing right and the PDP as a party that has nurtured and sustained democracy in the last 16 years, we cannot fold our hands and watch our nation drift towards dangerous undemocratic paths”, the party said.The statement also claims since the APC took over power there has been no clear sign of seriousness and direction, but confusion, and hysteria for positions of power ..

“The concern of well-meaning Nigerians is that this may be a pointer to the fact that the APC lacks clear-cut directions on how to govern a nation as complex as Nigeria”, it said.“The negative effect of the glaring political commotion in the APC is compounding President Buhari’s self confessed nervousness and puzzlement, his flip-flops and worrisome reneging on campaign promises for which Nigerians will continue to hold him accountable.
Instead of fighting for positions, which betrays their lust, APC leaders should be more concerned with how to help President Buhari, who is still struggling with his ministerial list and basic appointments more than a week after his inauguration.They should be more concerned with how to end insurgency by the end of July as promised by President Buhari in his April 2, 2015 CNN interview.
“They should be concerned about how to pay N5,000 each to 25 million poor Nigerians beginning from the end of June; how to bring the naira to the same value with the dollar; provide allowances to the discharged but unemployed Youth Corps members for Twelve (12) months; provide free education and meals for school children among others as they promised during the campaigns.
“We invite the APC to note the concern of Nigerians that the pictures emanating from their camp are not reassuring in this direction”, the PDP said.
