#Nigeria@59: PDP Berates Buhari, Describes Last Four Years As Complete Retrogression
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party has described the last four years of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration as a total retrogression in the history of the nation’s development.
The spokesperson for the opposition party, Kola Ologbondiyan berated Buhari’s led administration in press statement issued on Tuesday to mark Nigeria’s 59th independence.
Kola said “The PDP however notes that it is indeed depressing that after 59 years of independence and efforts by patriotic Nigerians in nurturing democratic practice and tenets, the last four years have experienced a complete retrogression to primordial division, impunity, constitutional and human rights violations, assault on institutions of democracy, disobedience to court orders, electoral malpractices and governance by a cabal.”
He also lamented that the last four years has been marked with retrogression of Nigeria from being one of the fastest growing economies to a poverty driven country.
“In the same vein, in the last four years, our nation has been faced with the challenge of falling from being one of the fastest growing economies and home to world’s happiest people to become world’s poverty capital with a citizenry confronted by misery, insecurity, escalated violence, bloodletting, kidnapping, banditry and worsened insurgency” He said.
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party however expressed optimism that Nigeria will be rescued from her present dilemma. Adding that Nigerians should use the independence to rekindle their commitment towards unity, stability and development of the country.
“The PDP however expressed optimism that the nation will eventually come out of the woods and urged Nigerians to use the occasion of the independence anniversary to rekindle their commitment towards the unity, stability and development of our fatherland” the spokesperson said.
