The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Presidential Campaign Organization, PPCO, on Tuesday said President
Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year speech showed that he has conceded defeat, ahead of
the 2019 election.
It described Buhari’s 2019 New
Year speech as “pathetically empty and shows that he has finally given up,
following his irredeemable rejection by Nigerians.”
In a statement issued by PDP’s
spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, PPCO stressed that the President was “now on
valedictory mode”.
The party stated that Buhari
could “not articulate any concrete commitment on any sector of our national
life, not only that he is bereft of ideas, but also because he has lost
projections, having realized that Nigerians are not ready to give him a second
term in office.”
The statement reads: “Even when
he admitted in his opening that the turn of the New Year is a time for
stock-taking and unfolding of new prospects, Nigerians are invited to note that
Mr. President, in his entire speech, could not point to any single achievement
he made in the out-going year, neither could he unfold any development prospect
for the New Year.
“Indeed, any discerning mind
could see that President Buhari has finally switched into valedictory mode,
having realized that Nigerians have seen through the falsehood, lies and
deception that have characterized his incompetent and corrupt presidency for
almost four years.
“President Buhari has no
prospects on security despite the daily killings in the land. Even as a
Commander-In- Chief, he has no words for our gallant troops daily laying down
their lives, fighting insurgents in the North East. He had no soothing word for
the victims of bloodlettings in various parts of the country.
“President Buhari had no
prospects on our ailing economy. He has no plans for our grossly
under-performing power sector; nothing on health, education, agriculture,
transportation, commerce and industry.
He has nothing on job creation,
empowerment of our entrepreneurs, and no blueprints for increased foreign
direct investments into our nation.
“President Buhari said nothing
about burning labour issues in the country. He also choose to overlook the ASUU
strike that has crippled our tertiary institutions. He has no plans on how to
shore up the value our naira, increase purchasing power of citizens and reduce
the high costs of goods and services in our land.
“Instead, President Buhari, dwelt
on unnecessary diatribes, finger- pointing, hate speech and fixation on the
2019 general elections, in which an imminent defeat awaits him and his party,
the All Progressives Congress (APC).”
PPCO however called on Nigerians
to rescue their country from Buhari and his cabal by working harder in rallying
behind the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who it said has already
articulated practical templates to reposition Nigeria and return her to the
path of good governance, political stability and economic prosperity.
