PDP replies Buhari: Nigerians need governance, not grumbling

The PDP has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop blames, complaining and grumbling and concentrate on how to provide good governance to the country.

PDP said this in reply to President Buhari, who in his Eid-El-Kabir message said that the present recession the country is suffering, came as a result of cumulative effects of worldwide economic downturn and failure in the past to plan and save for difficult times.

But PDP responding in a statement through its Publicity Secretary, Dayo Adeyeye, asked President Buhari and his party the All Progressives Congress (APC), to be smart and look for a way of salvaging the country from the economic mess they foisted on it through falsehood.

Part of the statement read, “Let Mr President and his party, the APC, be reminded that it took a smart and experienced world-class Economic Team in the Year 2010 to lead Nigerians through a cushioned global financial meltdown and beyond.

“The ‘Change’ is really with them (APC) and their barrage of falsehood. They were elected to further better the lots of Nigerians, and not to dish out constant complaints on the situation which they mindlessly created with its attendant consequences on our collective destinies.

“It is therefore high time they stopped this unnecessary grumbling and concentrate on how to redeem our economy by providing good governance to the people.”

PDP also said it is felicitating with Muslim worldwide on the occasion of Eid-El-Kabir, the ‘Festival of Sacrifice’ and advised them especially the political and ruling class in the country, to emulate Father Abraham for his readiness and total submission to the will of God by agreeing to sacrifice his only son.

“We want to also urge Nigerians to use this period and pray for the recovery of our ailing economy, the unity and oneness of this country and continue making sacrifices for Nigeria to become great again,” PDP said.
