Buhari on vengeance mission – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of going on a vengeance mission, describing the administration’s anti-corruption war as vendetta against members and others associated with the PDP.

In a New Year message signed by the party’s Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, the PDP said the anti-graft war is meant to harass and intimidate members of the opposition.

Secondus charged Nigerians to remain focused in the New Year, even as he chided the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of feeding Nigerians with false propaganda.

The statement said, “Nigerians have watched in bewilderment as the so-called change agenda of the APC has deepened the socio-economic problems in the country, instead of building on the successes bequeathed to them by the PDP

“Today the APC has governed for seven months and PDP can confidently say without any fear of contradiction that the APC was not prepared for governance. The APC is just a gang-up of aggrieved people to take over the reins of power.

“To date, APC does not have a clear agenda on how to bring about the change they promised. As a result, Nigerians have seen the APC for all it is worth -an ill prepared party with an ill prepared agenda for governance.

“Nigerians have seen the chaotic situation at hand, orchestrated by the incoherent policy initiatives of the APC led government. Yes, this is the reality we face.

“From the confusion in the subsidy question, to the insurgency conundrum, from the discredited anti-corruption fight, to the confusion in the government’s economic policy.

“Yet the government has, by its own acts of omission and commission, presented itself as non-inclusive and sectional.

“Consequently, we are now faced with worsening fuel crisis, free fall of the naira, job losses, worsening insurgency, the Shiites/military clash, renewed Biafran agitation and general insecurity.

“In the middle of all this, it is clear that the APC government is pursuing a one -party state agenda considering its inordinate schemes to take over PDP controlled states.”
