We’re proud of our 16 years records, APC has no achievement – PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has tackled the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for having nothing to show for its years of governance.
The PDP said it is very proud of running for political positions on records which were achieved during its 16 years rule.
The main opposition party in a statement released by the spokesperson of the Presidential Campaign, Charles Aniagwu, on Tuesday claimed that the APC cannot be boastful of the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari or use the achievements to solicit for support from members of the public because the party has plunged the people of Nigerian into deeper hunger and poverty.
The spokesperson also condemned the APC over alleged destruction of the structures the PDP has put in place, before 2015 when the APC took over the mantle of governance.
The spokesperson of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar revealed that the Presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s handlers always used Lagos state as points of reference in their campaigns because the party had refused to fulfill its campaign promises to Nigerian people.
The statement partly reads: “But on the basis of what we did even in the first 16 years, we don’t have to run away from it and I can tell you that we liberalised the telecoms sector, pension reforms, banking consolidation, and setting up a number of institutions to fight corruption, EFCC, ICPC, Due Process Office and many more.
“In that 16 years we ensured that Nigerians were united but in the last 7 years under the APC, those things that put us together have been so bastardised.
“We are very proud of running on our records and Atiku Abubakar and his running mate Dr Ifeanyi Okowa have seen the many challenges bedevilling the country and they have mapped out strategies to reposition the country to function effectively.
“Those who asked for a change in 2015 have seen that the change they asked for did not yield the dividends of democracy they so desired and I can assure you that Atiku-Okowa will make a difference,”
The statement also noted: “I watched with dismay how the APC organised a campaign rally on a Sunday morning in this country when people are supposed to be worshipping God, they were very busy in Lagos blocking everybody in the name of a rally.
“That was insensitive and it simply tells you clearly that they don’t understand the sensibilities of this country”.
