The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the confession by the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who gathered in Abuja for a youth conference that their party and President Muhammadu Buhari failed to deliver, vindicated its position that they would leave office in 2023 without any legacy.
The party, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, described the efforts by the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, to blame President Buhari and the APC’s failure on a so-called face-off between the executive and the National Assembly as a despicable juvenile excuse for the incompetence and corruption that weighed down the Buhari administration.
The main opposition party insisted that now that the APC leaders had summoned the courage to admit that the APC and Buhari Presidency were a bunch of failure that had brought so much challenges to the nation, Nigerians expected them to advise President Buhari to end his Presidency’s recourse to false performance claims and seek help from more competent hands to manage the affairs of the nation.
They also stated that the APC’s leaders confession was stating the obvious as the Buhari Presidency and the APC had only succeeded in wrecking the nation’s once robust economy and turned the nation to a beggar country and the poverty capital of the world.
The opposition party said APC had excelled in superintending over the escalation of violence and acts of terrorism which had turned the nation to a large killing field under its watch.
“Under President Buhari, corruption has been elevated as a new normal, with officials pillaging ministries, department and agencies and looting over N15 trillion, while mortgaging the future of our nation with reckless foreign borrowing.
“APC leaders should be bold to tell President Buhari and the APC that posterity will not be kind to them for their manifest misrule, which has brought so much devastation to our nation.
“By 2023, history would have listed the Buhari Presidency and the APC as a calamitous era as well as that wind that blew no good in the life of our nation.
“Of course, the APC leaders have admitted that the party is already heading to the dustbin of ignominy as it cannot survive after the Buhari tenure,” the PDP said.
The party urged Nigerians to keep hope alive as they continued to rally on the platform of the PDP to rescue the nation from the misrule of the APC.
