The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has blasted President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress,
APC, for commissioning the Port Harcourt Airport Terminal.
The party accused Buhari of being
only good at commission projects the PDP started and financed.
The PDP said the project was
conceptualised, articulated and financed by its administration.
The PDP said this in a statement
Thursday by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan.
The party said Nigerians were
thoroughly amused when President Buhari’s handlers brought him to Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, for the first time since his inauguration in 2015, only
to orchestrate another failed attempt to claim credit for project executed by
others.
“If anything, the Buhari
administration, in its incompetence, only succeeded in delaying the completion
of the project, which was perfected by the PDP, including payments to
contractors.
“It is to say the least appalling
that after three and half years, a President, who is seeking reelection, cannot
point to any development project, initiated and executed by his administration
in any part of our country.
“Instead, our dear President has
been moving around trying to claim credit for projects executed by the PDP, all
in a desperate attempt to cover his failures in governance”, the statement
added.
The PDP recalled that the
President and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), had similarly
attempted to claim credit for the Abuja Light Rail Project, saying that it’s
public knowledge that the project was conceptualised and policy-propelled by
the PDP.
“We know that President Buhari is
eager to stuff up his false performance claims ahead of election, but doing so
with the achievements of others is the height of desperation and deceit, which
has already become repugnant to majority of Nigerians and the international
community.
“The PDP therefore counsels
President Buhari’s handlers to use the remaining days of his failed
administration to prepare him to get ready to accept his imminent defeat in
2019, as Nigerians have already rallied behind our candidate, Atiku Abubakar,
whose performance credential is known to all,” the PDP said.
