The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the Monday meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum in Ibadan as a waste of time.
The ruling party in a statement by the National Secretary of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John James Akpanuodoedehe, said it was unfortunate that the PDP governors chose to engage in misplaced name calling and abuses instead of seizing a golden opportunity provided by the meeting to offer meaningful and patriotic contributions on the review of the state of the nation.
Akpanuodoedehe further stated that it was disappointing that the supposed PDP governors’ consultative meeting turned out to be a political jamboree and its outcomes a waste of time, with no substance.
He added that the efforts and records of the President Muhammadu Buhari government on revamping the economy, devolution of powers, upgrading the country’s security architecture, governance and electoral reforms, addressing perennial farmers/herders clashes, public sector reforms were visible and unmatched.
He said Nigerians would recall that President Buhari, on 20th May, 2020, signed an executive order on implementation of financial autonomy of state legislature and state Judiciary which the same PDP governors had rejected.
Akpanuodoedehe said the government would continue to identify and partner patiotic and well-meaning individuals and interests “in our determined efforts to make the country better and address our challenges.”
