In a statement released today, the ruling
party, APC, has advised PDP to stop insulting
Nigerians by twisting the truth regarding the
current bad state of the economy. In the
statement signed by its National Secretary,
Mala Buni, the party said the prevailing socio-
economic hardship being faced by Nigerians is
a direct consequence of the mismanagement
of the economy and unprecedented looting of
the country’s commonwealth perpetrated
under the watch of PDP. Read the statement
after the cut.
In reacting to the orchestrated and
insensitive comments by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) on the economy, the
All Progressives Congress (APC) urges the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration to remain focused in its bold
bid to restore economic growth in the
country. Inspite of the PDP’s orchestrated
and feeble attempts to blackmail the current
administration and twist facts, the reality
remains that the prevailing socio-economic
hardship being faced by Nigerians is a direct
consequence of the mismanagement of the
economy and unprecedented looting of the
country’s commonwealth perpetrated under
its watch.
The PDP’s attempt to turn truth on its head
is fraudulent, insensitive and an insult to
Nigerians. For the umpteenth time, the PDP
must own up to its transgressions and
apologize to Nigerians. Going forward, the
urgent task before the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration
is to restore the country’s battered economy
back to health and all legitimate and
innovative means are being employed to
achieve this in the quickest possible time.
The APC assures Nigerians of the strong
political will and commitment of the
President Buhari administration to revive the
economy and tackle the nation’s current
challenges through suitable and well-thought
economic policies, fiscal discipline and socio-
political reforms. Among other strategic
economic agendas, diversification of the
country’s economy is a priority for the
administration.
To this end, President Buhari is aggressively
formulating and implementing policies aimed
at diversifying Nigeria’s economy from oil to
other sectors such as agriculture, mining and
manufacturing.
The APC assures Nigerians
that the administration will pull the country
out of the present hardships. With the
support, cooperation, patience and prayers of
Nigerians, the country will reach its deserved
potential under our leadership.
