The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday slammed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari who listed nine priority areas his administration would focus on in its remaining time in office.
The ruling party, in a statement by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, said the opposition party chose to dwell on its ignominious past and practices where voodoo economics, abandoned projects, institutionalised corruption among other frauds were the orders of the day.
The APC said itwould be a complete waste of time joining issues with the PDP, which failed as a government and had become shockingly rudderless as a supposed opposition party.
“One thing is clear; we are reminded why the PDP should never be allowed to direct the country’s affairs again.
“Under the President Buhari-led APC government, is Nigeria Africa’s largest economy? Yes. Are we beginning to eat what we grow? Yes. Have we achieved a sustainable petroleum pricing template? Yes. Are institutionalised corruption and impunity still the norm? No. Is money spent on ongoing infrastructure projects being accounted for? Yes. With our steady climb in the global ease of doing business index, is Nigeria a profitable investment destination? Yes,” the APC said.
The ruling party further stated that it woukd join well-meaning Nigerians in supporting and ensuring the achievements of President Buhari’s priority areas which would see, among others, improved access to quality education, affordable health care, enhanced productivity, a thriving and sustainable economy, enhanced social inclusion and poverty reduction, enlarged agricultural output, energy sufficiency in power and petroleum products, expanded transport and other infrastructural development, business growth, entrepreneurship and industrialisation, fight against corruption, improved governance, social cohesion and improved security for all.
The party added that Nigerians would rather look with pride as newly-constructed and launched rail services pass through their towns and upgraded airports that dot many state capitals.
“While there remains many more to do, we are definitely on the right trajectory of growth and development under the President Buhari government,” APC said.
