PDP to Minister Lai, APC is a failure, 2019 election’ll be a walkover against it

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday waved aside claims by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Muhammed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is delivering on its campaign promises.

It said that the APC instead is a failure and that the 2019 election will be a walkover against it.

Spokesman of the Rivers State chapter of the PDP, Samuel Nwonosike, stated this in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Thursday, adding that the major opposition party will win the 2019 general elections without much stress following the failures of the ruling APC.

“With what we have seen so far, the 2019 general election will be a walkover against the APC. The PDP will win the election without saying much because Nigerians are aware that the APC has failed us.

“Lai Mohammed said the other day that the Federal Government is fulfilling its promises to Nigerians. I disagree with him because the promise of giving N5,000 to unemployed graduates every month has not been fulfilled.

“Again, the assurance that N1 will exchange for $1 has not come to pass. The power situation has not improved and we saw an APC lawmaker led a protest over poor power supply in Nasarawa State.

“The same Lai Mohammed promised that there would be enough food for Nigerians and that food would be cheap. But today, Nigerians can no longer feed well because the prices of food have gone five times higher than what they used to be,” he said.

Meanwhile, the APC has continued to insist that it still has two more years to deliver on its mandate.
According to the party, Nigerians will be the ones to decide whether it will allow a party working to diversify the economy, fighting against corruption and building infrastructure, or vote for a return of that which allowed “corruption” to thrive.
