YPP commends Nigerians for tolerating Buhari’s govt, highlights it’s place in history

One of the newly registered political parties, Young ​ Progressive Party (YPP) has commended Nigerians for their tolerance of the maladministration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government.

According to the party, the APC administration will go down in history of governance in Nigeria as the most “clueless”.

The party said, “We commend Nigerians for enduring the longest fuel scarcity ever witnessed in the history of our beloved country and confidently believe that the APC led government will go down in history as the most clueless government in the history of governance in Nigeria for allowing this scarcity to linger for over four months even after the removal of subsidy it hitherto claimed never existed,” YYP said.

This was contained in a communiqué YPP issued at the end of its National Executive Committee (NEC) Meeting in Abuja ​ on Tuesday and read out by its national publicity secretary, Comrade Egbeola Martins.

The communiqué read in part, “We condemn the recent claim by the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru that the sum of N774 million is incurred daily as subsidy for petrol without appropriation by the National Assembly.

​“This is an organized fraud against the nation and a brazen looting of our common patrimony by an acclaimed sanctimonious ruling party, which from all indication is only interested in raising campaign fund for the fast approaching 2019 general elections.

​“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of the more than 100 Dapchi school girls by the conscienceless Boko Haram sect whose level of depravity has risen to a fearsome crescendo.

​“T​he fact that we are witnessing the repeat of the Chibok girls’ episode goes to show that our government never learnt anything and further suggest that the claim that Boko Haram has been technically or completely defeated is a ruse.

“More worrisome however is when President Muhammadu Buhari in his usual characteristics had to prioritize a wedding ceremony over his visit to Dapchi where girls were recently abducted and whose only crime was getting an education.

​“This singular action does not show empathy more so that the APC as an opposition party condemned the immediate past government for doing same.

“​ We call on the government to as a matter of urgency do everything necessary to secure the release of the Dapchi girls, the remaining Chibok girls and all innocent citizens that have been abducted and taken into captivity by this heartless sect.”
