The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described President
Muhammadu Buhari as a ‘bad product’ noting that he cannot win the 2019
presidential polls despite nominating the national leader of the All
Progressive Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu as head strategy committee of the party.
PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a
statement on Thursday, while reacting to Mr. Tinubu’s appointment said it was
ludicrous.
He said after almost three years of failure to deliver on the
‘littlest of its campaign promises’, the Buhari presidency is now “moving
around, cap in hands,” looking for those to use once again to beguile Nigerians
ahead of the 2019 elections.
President Muhammadu Buhari recently named Mr. Tinubu to lead the
charge for “a united APC as 2019 election draws near.”
The party which had previously raised committees to resolve the
crises across its state chapters appears to have settled on Mr. Tinubu to
resolve the matter.
PDP accused the APC government of abandoning its responsibility
of governance and now deploying resources meant “for the good of the people to
push a desperate but ill-fated mission to perpetuate on Nigerians, an obviously
unpopular Presidential candidate in 2019.”
The party said the presidency had become so “panicky” that it effectively
hijacked the functions of the leadership of its “dysfunctional and
ideologically vacuous party by appointing people into partisan offices, outside
its much-desired responsibility of governance.”
The release also added: “There is widespread disenchantment and
indignation across the nation resulting from hunger and the inability of the
Buhari Presidency to provide the people with basic necessities of life, which
they had always enjoyed in the past.
“Nigerians are therefore waiting to see how Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
who has also openly expressed his concerns and disapprovals on the
mismanagement of the economy and whose large constituents are direct victims of
the ineptitude, impunity, nepotism, dictatorial tendencies, corruption and
insecurity that has characterized the Buhari Presidency, will now turn around
to preach that all is well and attempt to sell a practically bad product to the
nation.
“It is instructive to further state that the desperate move by
the Presidency to politically prey on individuals is mere foolhardiness and a
totally decadent approach to pitch key leaders against the people on an issue
that has already been thrown overboard.”
The party added that “The PDP therefore finds APC’s attempt to
reconcile its dwindling ranks as laughable, cosmetic and politically
inconsequential.
“It will interest the APC to know that Nigerians are already
rallying with the repositioned and rebranded PDP as we are poised to present a
credible, competent and reliable candidate through a free, fair and transparent
presidential primary.”
