The Peoples Democratic Party has called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to evolve a means of arresting the slide
in the country’s economy, adding that the generality of Nigerians are
suffering.
Reiterating its position on the need to
restructure the country, the party said restructuring remained the only
solution to the country’s challenges.
This was contained in a communiqué
issued at the end of a meeting held on Tuesday in Akure by the leaders
of the PDP in the South-West.
In the communiqué signed by the National
Vice-Chairman, South-West PDP, Eddy Olafeso, and 21 other leaders, the
PDP lamented the incarceration of some of its leaders by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission.
The communiqué said, “The Federal
Government must tackle the issues of unemployment, terrorism, Fulani
herdsmen’s attacks, inflation, infrastructural decadence and militancy
that have permeated every part of this country without actions to check
the sufferings of the masses.
“The zonal chapter also calls for the
implementation of measures that will ameliorate the sufferings of the
masses as the APC administration has dissipated most of its energy on an
anti-corruption crusade which, unfortunately, seems to be targeted at
only the leaders of the opposition, particularly in the South-West.”
In the communiqué, the PDP also added
that in spite of the persecution of the opposition by the APC
government, it would not refrain from presenting constructive criticism
to the government in order for the government to fulfil its electoral
promises to Nigerians.
“Contrary to the thought of the APC-led
Federal Government, we, in the South-West PDP, want the government to
succeed in contributing its quota to the growth and development of this
country,” the party said.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
