PDP Accuses Buhari Of Stealing GEJ's Achievements

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of stealing achievements of the previous administration of Goodluck Jonathan.

The opposition advises the APC to always be honest and stop appropriating the achievements of past government as theirs.

Chief Olisa Metuh, party’s spokesperson, issued a statement, saying that the APC and President Buhari should make haste and activate the different economic outlets which have been stagnated as a result of their clear inability to articulate a clear-cut economic policy for Nigeria.

Metuh added that it’s disappointing that an administration which came to power on claims of high moral ground, rather than concentrating on delivering its promises, is dancing around the achievements of the previous government in an attempt to make the public believe that recorded successes in critical sectors are theirs.

The statement reads in part: “For instance, how do we explain APC’s spirited effort to make the public believe that the equipping of the country’s military for the fights against insurgency; the turn around of the nation’s oil refineries; and the polio-free certification of Nigeria were products of their government even when it is common knowledge that they have not been able to find their bearing for governance since their election into office.

“If the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki had not been courageous enough to release those incontrovertible facts that the Goodluck Jonathan-led PDP administration actually fortified the country’s military before leaving office in May, the APC would have succeeded in its propaganda against that administration and led Nigerians to believe that the equipping was a product of President Buhari’s recent diplomatic shuttles.

“It is an obvious fact that before the May 29 handover to the APC, the Nigerian armed forces, using these equipment sourced under the watch of the PDP government, had already pushed the insurgents to the verge of surrender in the Sambisa forest, only for them to now resurge under the APC-led government due to apparent lack of direction and confusion that have characterized this administration.
