PDP berates APC for ‘Immature Self-Appraisal
Opeyemi Oladunjoye
The Peoples Democratic Party has berated the Presidency and the All Progressives Congress for celebrating “imaginary achievements”, urging it to form a formidable government and deliver their campaign promises to Nigerians.
According to the opposition party, which released the statement via the National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on Thursday, the present administration is praising itself for solutions it had not fully provided.
He said, “How can a serious government start shouting achievements and make bogus claims on the fight against terrorism when the effort is apparently losing steam as insurgents, who had already been pushed to the verge of surrender in the Sambisa forest by the Goodluck Jonathan administration, are now surging back into the country under the APC-led government?
“How can a serious government shout achievement based on pledges by foreign interests, a dangerous slide towards neo-colonialism, instead of settling down to galvanise bequeathed resources and potentials that have already placed our great country as one of the fastest emerging economic and political powers in the world?
“How can a serious government shout achievement and attempt to explain away the untidy fact that after three weeks, it has not been able to organise itself even to take basic steps of conventional appointments such as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief of Staff to the President and advisers in key sectors of the economy.
“Finally, we advise the Presidential spokespersons to allow Nigerians to judge the President as events and time will prove exactly the taste of the old wine,” Metuh added.
