‘PDP should shut up,

Oyegun

‘PDP should shut up,’ APC chairman

The APC chairman also said his party has chosen to seek solutions to the economic challenges in the country.

 

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has no moral right to criticise the Buhari administration over the economy.

He said ”This shameless distraction must stop forthwith, and here is serving notice that henceforth, the PDP will no longer have a field day in trying to twist facts and present the Buhari Administration, which is on an urgent rescue mission, as the villain.”

According to Oyegun, it is immoral for a party that destroyed the country for 16 years to try to play the saviour.

The APC Chairman also alleged that during the years of PDP rule, over $15b belonging to Nigerians was mismanaged.

Oyegun described the claim by the PDP that it is on a mission to rescue the nation, as annoying, adding that the party put Nigeria in the current economic state it is today.

He said ”What is happening now is clear: Just because the farmer has not checkmated the thief, he (thief) has become so emboldened that he is now making a move to even cage the farmer from whom he has been stealing.

“How else can one characterize the most annoying statement by the PDP that it is on a mission to rescue Nigeria, the tale of a killer presenting himself as a life saver! Are these people jokers? Do they think Nigerians do not realize that the stage for today’s tough economic situation was set by the same PDP that is now masquerading as a saviour? Worse still, is this PDP’s bold face not a ploy to distract the Administration that is on a rescue mission?

“Nigeria is currently in ICU (Intensive Care Unit), after it was rescued from PDP. Yet, the same PDP has the audacity to constantly pillory the ‘doctors’ trying to save the ‘patient’.

”Yes, we knew the situation was bad, but we never imagined that it was this bad. Yes, we knew that the vast majority of our national patrimony had been stolen and converted by PDP and their cronies, but we clearly under-estimated the scope of the stealing. The fact that our country and people survived the PDP and the last administration is perhaps the 8th wonder of the world.”

Oyegun also added that “Engaging in a campaign of calumny by claiming that the country’s economy under President Muhammadu Buhari was deteriorating is so unconscionable on the part of the PDP, which frittered away the huge windfall that the nation earned during the years that oil sold for over $100. Even with the number of PDP operatives and officials who have confessed or admitted their complicity in the looting of the treasury, the party has continued to try to pull the wool over the face of Nigerians.”

The APC Chairman also said with President Buhari’s administration the future remains bright for Nigeria.
