The party also advised Tinubu not to
allow himself to be used a second time as he still bears a gross part of the
blame for the enthronement of “this incompetent, divisive, nepotic and
inherently corrupt administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, which has
brought the nation to its knees in three years.”
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Thursday, said Tinubu’s speech, at his
colloquium, rather than being a damage of the PDP, ended up amplifying an
admittance of the failure of President Buhari and the APC administration.
“The PDP watched with amusement as
Asiwaju Tinubu struggled with words to appease President Buhari and give him
assurances that he can win a second term election in the face of mass failure
both in governance and in their discredited, rejected and troubled platform.
“It was a direct admittance of
failure and indictment on President Buhari’s administration, when Asiwaju
pointedly told the President that the ship of the nation, under his (Buhari’s)
watch, still needs to be rescued, almost three years down the line.
“It is tragic that Asiwaju had to
tutor his visitor, who had no policy direction since his election in 2015, by
engaging in a revision of the programmes and policies of the PDP, such as the
leasing system, the mortgage and pension schemes which boosted the economy and
directly impacted on the lives of Nigerians.
“More pathetic is the fact that the
APC leader presented the PDP programmes as if he was introducing novel ideas in
the economy. This clearly stood with our position that the APC government is
incompetent and lacking in ideas of how to move the nation forward,” the
statement read in part.
