2021: Buhari’s New Year Address Uninspiring – PDP


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says President Muhammadu Buhari has shown that he does not have what it takes to solve the myriads of problems facing the nation.

Ekohotblog reports that the major opposition party said this in reaction to the president’s New year’s address on Friday.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said the address was fraught with ‘lame excuses’, a situation it said reinforces the notion that the country doesn’t have a competent leader.

Ologbondiyan said all Buhari could offer a displeased and beleaguered nation was a “regurgitated script full of lame excuses and empty promises that address nothing.”

The statement read “As a President, Buhari has not demonstrated the capacity to play his own part, as he claimed, having failed to find a solution for the security and economic challenges that pervade our nation under his incompetent and lethargic watch.

“The myriads of lame excuses in Mr. President’s address again underlines our national misfortune of weak leadership that is unable to resolutely confront and vanquish bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and vandals who are now holding our nation hostage, ravaging our communities, kidnapping and beheading our compatriots without restrain” he said

Ologbondiyan asserted that “the least Nigerians expected from Mr. President, in the New Year, was a decisive will to tackle our security challenges by reviewing his parade and heeding the demands by Nigerians to rejig our nation’s security architecture.”
