Presidency, APC clash with PDP on economy, security

The Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress yesterday chided the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for criticising the Federal Government’s economic policies and handling of security.

To the PDP, President Bola Tinubu has not delivered on his promises on the economy, security, social welfare and democratisation of the polityAt the end of the meeting held at its national secretariat, the PDP chided the APC-led government for broken promises. “NEC also condemns the creeping totalitarianism and tendencies towards a one-party state which is inimical to the peace, stability and corporate existence of our nation as well as the development of democracy and good governance in the country.”

“NEC further demands that the Federal Government should review all policies and programmes which are stifling the economy with suffocating effects on the lives of citizens; including the increase in price of fuel without cushioning measures, hike in electricity tariff, increased taxation and implementation of adverse fiscal policies.

“The contrived pall of gloom cast over our nation has faded out and renewed hope is now on the leash. “It was surprising that the PDP under whose watch Boko Haram was born in 2009 and worse of all, which looted the billions of dollars earmarked to equip our armed forces and the police, could so unabashedly blame the Tinubu Administration for what it wrongly termed increasing spate of terrorism and banditry.

He said in a statement: “PDP failed to seize the opportunity of its NEC meeting to conduct a thorough examination of institutional and operational maladies that have crippled and turned the party into an unrecognisable shadow of its old self.” “We maintain our long-held rejection of the PDP’s attempt to taint our party with its own sordid historic obsession to operate a one-party state in our country.”
