The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC), under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari as “insensitive and clueless.”The opposition party said that the ruling party has not achieved anything tangible in two years but has only survived on blaming the past government of the PDP while failing to provide Nigerians with the “change” it promised them during the electioneering campaign.
In a statement signed by the spokesman of the National Caretaker Committee (NCC), Prince Dayo Adeyeye, yesterday,
the opposition party said the APC government should have been done with complaints about past administration and show to Nigerians it has the capacity to provide leadership.
The PDP had on Wednesday issued a statement to criticise the APC government and its policy in two years but the APC in a response accused the PDP of being the brain behind the nation’s problems.
But the PDP in another reaction to the APC said the PDP had better records than the APC, urging the ruling party to wake up to the responsibility of proving its worth and stop behaving like an opposition party.
The statements read in part: “It has been two years since the ruling party in opposition’ took over power in May, 2015 and all the APC has done since assumption of office is complaining and whining, instead of governance and delivering to Nigerians
its campaign promises.
“Nigerians have not also forgotten how the APC in opposition politicized all issues of governance without proffering a single solution to any of them, but remained adamant, condemning the sincere policies of previous PDP administration.
It continued: “Nigerians thought the only reply by the APC to our statement of Wednesday, March 29, 2017, would have been for the party to roll out its achievements in the last two years instead of another shameless descent into the abyss of
propaganda, blame-game and media trial of previous PDP-led administration.
“However, we are not surprised because the APC has no achievement to flaunt before Nigerians than the boring rehash of what the PDP did or did not do.
“We still maintained that Nigerians should take critical look at the mid-term report of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and compare it to that of the current APC-led government and access them on performance and achievements.
The opposition party also faulted the much- touted anti- corruption war of the APC government saying it was one-sided unlike what was obtainable under the PDP government.
The party went further to declare the anti-corruption war as a farce because it allegedly gave protection to members of APC who were caught up in the web of corruption,
“On the much celebrated anti-corruption fight of the APC, it must be noted that it was previous PDP governments that created and sustained all the institutions for fighting corruption such as the ICPC and the EFCC.
“Under the PDP administrations most of those who were tried by these agencies were PDP members.
There was no effort to shield PDP members from prosecution and investigation, as is the case with the APC government, which has made it a policy
to sweep all the dirt of its members under the carpet.
“Recall the grass cutting allegations against the SGF, the awards of contracts to ghost companies by the Federal Government Committee on Northeast, allegation of attempted bribery of Judges by the Minister of Transport and that of Science and
Technology, the CBN forex racketeering and most recently, the DSS indictment of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu and many others.
“On the war on Boko Haram, the APC spokesman forgot to mention that it was the same weapons bought by previous PDP administration.
