The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has said its government would not waste time in assenting to the Peace
Corps of Nigeria establishment bill if voted into power in the 2019
presidential elections.
The party’s national publicity
secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, made this known in a statement while reacting
to President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to assent to the Peace Corps bill
passed by the national assembly in 2017.
The PDP stated that the ruling
All Progressives Congress, APC, lacked youth-driven ideologies and should be
voted out in the forthcoming general elections for failing to create any job
opportunities for the teeming jobless Nigerians as it promised during the 2015
pre-election campaigns
Ologbondiyan said, “The PDP noted
with dismay how a party that promised massive job creation would decline
assenting to such a bill meant to create millions of jobs for Nigerians”.
The party stressed that citing of
financial difficulties as reasons for rejecting the bill as laughable,
questioning what the APC administration was doing or has done with the
so-called billions of naira it allegedly recovered in its witch-hunting fight
against corruption.
The main opposition party
maintained that voting the APC out of power was the only option left for
Nigerians, declaring that the APC had nothing tangible to offer Nigerians
rather than leading the country backward.
