The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, on Thursday said the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Adams Oshiomhole, “misfired in his attempt to lampoon Taraba State
Governor, Darius Ishaku, as his claim of absentee leader best suits President
Muhammadu Buhari,” and not the governor.
PDP made the remark while
reacting to Oshiomhole’s comment that APC would give Taraba state a “resident
governor” in 2019.
However, the spokesperson of PDP,
Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement said, “Unlike Governor Ishaku and other PDP
governors, who are busy developing their states, in line with the manifesto of
the PDP, President Buhari has spent more days gallivanting across the globe,
shopping for elusive international endorsements, than the time he spent in
actual governance of our nation.
“We know that Oshiomhole is
distraught by the increasing popularity of our party, and particularly the
soaring approval rating of our governors, including Governor Ishaku.
“We are not surprised by
Oshiomhole’s resort to childish mudslinging and smear campaign, instead of
concentrating on ways to solve the problems he created in his derelict party,
which is now stuck with an unpopular Presidential candidate.
“Moreover, whereas President
Buhari, APC’s brand face, cannot boast of any developmental project he has
initiated and executed in the last three years, Governor Ishaku has been busy
commissioning projects that have a direct bearing on the people in all critical
sectors of their lives.
“Also, while APC governors are
only good at moulding statues, commissioning boreholes and regular bus stops,
PDP governors are commissioning mega landmark projects, many of which President
Buhari’s handlers lobbied for him to be allowed to cut the tape in an attempt
to shore up his performance rating before Nigerians and the international
community.
“Finally, since Oshiomhole has
identified absenteeism as a major defect for which a leader should be removed,
we charge him to start scripting his party’s handover note ahead of 2019
election, as President Buhari ranks as the most absentee leader in the history
of our nation.”
