Stop twisting the facts, you are the cause of this bad economy- APC tells PDP


In a statement released today, the ruling party,
APC, has advised PDP to stop insulting
Nigerians by twisting the truth regarding the
current bad state of the economy. In the
statement signed by its National Secretary,
Mala Buni, the party said the prevailing socio-
economic hardship being faced by Nigerians is
a direct consequence of the mismanagement of
the economy and unprecedented looting of the
country’s commonwealth perpetrated under the
watch of PDP. Read the statement after the
cut.
In reacting to the orchestrated and
insensitive comments by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) on the economy,
the All Progressives Congress (APC)
urges the President Muhammadu Buhari-
led administration to remain focused in
its bold bid to restore economic growth
in the country. Inspite of the PDP’s
orchestrated and feeble attempts to
blackmail the current administration and
twist facts, the reality remains that the
prevailing socio-economic hardship being
faced by Nigerians is a direct
consequence of the mismanagement of
the economy and unprecedented looting
of the country’s commonwealth
perpetrated under its watch.
The PDP’s attempt to turn truth on its
head is fraudulent, insensitive and an
insult to Nigerians. For the umpteenth
time, the PDP must own up to its
transgressions and apologize to
Nigerians. Going forward, the urgent task
before the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led APC administration is to
restore the country’s battered economy
back to health and all legitimate and
innovative means are being employed to
achieve this in the quickest possible
time. The APC assures Nigerians of the
strong political will and commitment of
the President Buhari administration to
revive the economy and tackle the
nation’s current challenges through
suitable and well-thought economic
policies, fiscal discipline and socio-
political reforms. Among other strategic
economic agendas, diversification of the
country’s economy is a priority for the
administration.
To this end, President Buhari is
aggressively formulating and
implementing policies aimed at
diversifying Nigeria’s economy from oil
to other sectors such as agriculture,
mining and manufacturing. The APC
assures Nigerians that the administration
will pull the country out of the present
hardships. With the support, cooperation,
patience and prayers of Nigerians, the
country will reach its deserved potential
under our leadership.
