Buhari’s blame games confirm his last 4 yrs smack of incompetence, PDP alleges

Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called out President Muhammadu Buhari over his comments during a recently staged media chat.

The party in a statement issued Tuesday said Buhari’s resort to “blame game and false performance claims” during the media chat, only goes to confirm that the last four years of his administration smacks of failure and incompetence.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also slammed Buhari for not using the interview “to give account for the trillions stolen under his watch in the last four years.”

The party said it was unfortunate that instead of accepting responsibility for “the failures” of his administration, the President was looking for scapegoats where there were none.

“It is for this reason that the PDP presented a presidential candidate and deputy with strong knowledge of the economy and social order in order to rescue our nation from the dire straits into which she had been thrown due to poor leadership in the last four years.

“The PDP also observes that President Buhari’s diatribe against the National Assembly and its elected leadership further confirms his disdain for constitutional democracy, rule of law and the principle of Separation of Powers as entrenched in our constitution.

“Mr President’s personal attacks on the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, were totally uncalled for and speak volumes on his disposition about democracy,” the opposition party said.
